Building Components

Sawtooth PrePlater automates the most labor-intensive step in truss production, combining robotic plate embedment, positioning, and pressing into one coordinated system that runs at 600+ plates per hour. Robotic embedment holds accuracy at every joint, removing the placement error and plate damage common with manual plating. By shifting repetitive plating and pressing work to the system, operators are freed from bending over the table for a full shift and can focus on final assembly and quality.

Sawtooth PrePlater

Designed to fit existing truss workflows, with minimal disruption during adoption
Consistent plate placement supports build tolerances and steadier output
Automation reduces high-strain work on the line, improving day-to-day ergonomics and safety

Produce Palletizing

Sawtooth's ProStack and ProStack+ palletizing solutions deliver consistent, high-speed end-of-line performance and flexibility. Robotic handling maintains repeatable stacking patterns to help reduce damage in transit across bags, bales, boxes, and RPCs. Vision systems and integrated software can log handling events, lot numbers, and timestamps to support traceability and audits.

ProStack adapts to bags, bales, boxes, and RPCs on the same line, holding pace and pallet quality as product mix and order specs change day to day.

ProStack in Action

Reduced manual lifting at end-of-line improves safety and uptime
Traceability support through vision and integrated software logging
Repeatable stacking patterns and flat packing help reduce damage in transit

Wall Panel

Sawtooth wall panel automation supports high-volume production by combining robotic framing, sheathing placement, fastening, and material handling into one coordinated workflow. Robotic handling reduces variation, supports accurate openings, and maintains repeatable build quality across changing panel designs. By shifting heavy lifting and repetitive fastening to the system, operators can focus on flow and quality. The result is faster cycle times, fewer errors, and a more predictable line.

Integrated workflow that can increase line capacity without adding headcount
Repeatable panel build quality that reduces rework and downstream fit-up issues
Automation shifts heavy and repetitive tasks away from operators, improving safety and retention

Custom Automation

Sawtooth custom automation is built for manufacturers whose processes do not fit a standard cell. We design and integrate ABB robotic systems for complex handling, assembly, and material flow, with reliability and maintainability as core requirements. Projects start with clear requirements and risk review, then move through design, controls and safety integration, and validation. Customers stay involved through regular reviews. The result is a production-ready system supported after startup for long-term performance.

Designed for complex, non-standard processes where off-the-shelf cells fall short
Engineering, controls, and safety integration managed as one coordinated system
Validation and customer review before deployment, with ongoing support after startup
