Shed Combo Station
The Shed Combo Station is an all-in-one system designed specifically for the portable building industry.
This system frames, squares, and sheathes both wall and floor panels, and offers multiple runner placements – making it suitable for various building sizes.
The Panels Plus panelized wall panel systems are more ergonomic than traditional construction methods and are developed at an ergonomic working height. This eliminates the need to continually kneel or hunch over to build wall panels – improving employee health and safety.
How It Works
Designed to accommodate runners, the Shed Combo Station offers multiple runner placements. Once the machine is loaded, it holds the floor or wall square for framing and sheathing.
The Shed Combo Station is equipped with indexing tool carriages. This allows the operator to select the lumber size and press a single button to easily nail the rim boards to the joists for constructing floors or nail the plates to the studs for building walls.
After the floor has been framed, the tongue and groove sheathing is tacked on the floor frame. The operator then uses the touchscreen on the sheathing bridge to preset fastener spacings. With the touchscreen, you can toggle between various presets and easily change the fastener spacing. The bridge is driven up and down the wall on a mounted v-track using the manual joystick. To assist in positioning the bridge at each stud, there is a laser pointer that projects a line on the plate where the fasteners are inserted.
After the cycle is complete, the stitchers are used to nail the flooring to the rim joist while the bridge returns to its home position.
Once the floor or wall is completed, it is easily picked up or rolled out of the machine – allowing an operator to get started on the next floor or wall while they are getting the completed panel off the line.
