Consisting of a Framing Station and Sheathing Station, Subcomponent Tables, and Roller Conveyors, the 2-Table Line frames and sheathes wall panels while maintaining a smaller footprint than the 3-Table Line and is perfect for those with limited space. This production line is a great starting point for customers planning on adding more equipment as their business and budget grows.
WORKING STATIONS in a 2-TABLE PRODUCTION LINE
SUBCOMPONENT TABLE
The Subcomponent Table is available in two sizes, 12′ and 18′. Placed at the beginning of the production line, this product is used to build rough openings. It has pop-up rollers, a squaring edge, and a telescoping side that manually rolls in and out to set the component height. These tables can be adjusted to match the height of your station or system, making it easy to transition subcomponents from the tables to your desired location.
FRAMING STATION
The Framing Station follows the Subcomponent Table in a 2-Table Line and holds the plates, subcomponents, and studs squarely in place for fastening. Panels Plus offers three different Framing Stations: Non-Clamping Framing Station, Framing Station with Locators or Wide Plate Framing Station.
The Framing Stations can be ordered with or without indexing tool carriages. The carriages semi-automatically fasten the top and bottom plates to the studs with the press of a single button.
SHEATHING STATION
The Sheathing Station is the last machine in the 2-Table Line and is designed to fasten sheathing to wall panels. It features a single tool bridge that smoothly traverses the wall panel, shooting nails at a preset spacing. The Sheathing Station also has a touchscreen with 9 presets to easily change fastener spacing.
The Sheathing Station can be ordered as a Single Beam Sheathing Station with plate stitchers, a Dual Beam Sheathing Station, or our fully automated Platinum Series Sheathing Station.
The plate stitchers offer flexibility in fastener spacing while stitching the top and bottom plates.
CONVEYORS and POWER CONVEYORS
Conveyors are available in two options, manual and powered. They are placed between stations to transport subcomponents from one station to another, and to act as a buffer zone while other wall panels are being constructed. They are also commonly placed at the end of a system line to hold wall panels while they await stacking.
