Sawtooth Robotics helps manufacturers reduce deployment risk and sustain performance through a disciplined Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) process and comprehensive post-installation support. Systems are assembled and validated in-house against defined performance and safety checks before shipment, with customers invited to review operation, confirm requirements, and validate readiness. After installation, Sawtooth remains engaged with practical support programs designed to keep production running.

• In-house FAT to validate performance, safety, and readiness prior to shipment
• Reduced commissioning time and smoother startups through early issue discovery
• Ongoing support plans including preventative maintenance, remote diagnostics, spare parts, and on-demand troubleshooting

Together, these strategies provide a more predictable launch and a maintainable, reliable system that continues to operate at peak performance over time.

Sawtooth Robotics delivers custom-built automation systems backed by turnkey system integration, helping manufacturers improve throughput, consistency, and safety without adding unnecessary complexity. Each solution is engineered around the customer’s production goals, facility constraints, and operational needs, with requirements and risks addressed early to reduce surprises. From initial concept and detailed engineering through installation, programming, and commissioning, Sawtooth manages the full integration process to deliver a complete, ready-to-operate system.

• Custom-engineered systems tailored to your operation, not a standard template
• Turnkey integration from concept through commissioning, with clear ownership
• Production-ready builds designed for reliability, maintainability, and long-term support

The result is practical automation that fits the facility, runs reliably in real-world production, and is supported with straightforward communication and disciplined execution.

Sawtooth Robotics is excited to announce that we will be exhibiting at the Building Component Manufacturers Conference (BCMC) 2025, the premier event for the truss and component industry.

Join us from September 29th to October 3rd for an exclusive first look at our groundbreaking automated solutions.

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.
