Sawtooth Robotics to Unveil Next-Generation PrePlater System

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sawtooth Robotics, a leader in custom automation for the building component industry, is set to unveil it’s next-generation PrePlater system, a revolutionary automated solution designed to bring new levels of speed and precision to truss manufacturing.

The new PrePlater system addresses critical industry challenges, including labor shortages and production bottlenecks, by automating the pre-plating process with unparalleled consistency. At the heart of the system is a custom servo press that applies nail plates to boards with exacting precision, ensuring every joint is perfectly formed before assembly.

“Our goal is to provide manufacturers with robust, smart technology that simplifies their most complex challenges,” said Oscar Williamson, Founder. “This PrePlater isn’t just an incremental improvement, it’s a leap forward in design that offers greater versatility and reliability right on the production floor.”

Key features of the Sawtooth PrePlater include:

  • Unmatched Versatility: Capable of processing both roof and floor members (from 2×3 to 2×12) within a single system.
  • Intelligent Software: Advanced sequencing logic that optimizes plate placement for both ease of assembly and maximum structural coverage.
  • Designed for Durability: Engineered with fewer moving parts for higher throughput and reduced long-term maintenance.
  • Seamless Integration: Built to integrate efficiently into existing production lines, minimizing disruption and maximizing floor space.

The system builds on the company’s proven expertise in truss automation, exemplified by successful installations like the Roof Truss AMD system at The Truss Company, which has significantly improved throughput and reduced bottlenecks.

The Sawtooth PrePlater is designed for manufacturers seeking to increase capacity, improve quality control, and achieve a rapid return on investment through automated solutions.
