Description
Our roof trusses are made only with seasoned wood. Generally, we can manufacture almost any models of truss conceivable. For the roof trusses which exceed 12' in height, we make them in two sections so that they can be moved onto the road. The plates which we use for the assembly are provided by Mitek.
Assembly
The assembly of the roof trusses is done mainly on a dedicated table, which comprises a 50 tons press. A laser projection system traces the image of each roof truss directly on the table, which makes it possible to accelerate considerably the setup of the mould to make the truss. Then we have two projectors systems which show the roof trusses on the wall on 4' X 8' screens. This system makes it possible to show the roof truss being made, to every worker at the same time, and also makes it possible to have the information of the next truss to manufacture, so that a worker can begin to collect the material for the next truss.
The other advantage of this system is the considerable reduction in paper use. Indeed, before the installation of this system, for the information of the trusses to circulate well between the workers, it was necessary to have two or three sheets with each roof trusses. Even then, not all workers had the information in hand at all times. With the projectors, it is the case; all the workers have the same information at any time, just looking at the wall.
We also have a second assembly table for the roof trusses that we use for the smaller trusses, the monos trusses, the floor joists, etc.
