Title:
TRUSS JIGGING SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000059695
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A truss jigging system has tools (19) moveable in a channel (14) to different locations on an assembly table (10) and which can be readily interchanged. The tools (19) are capable of snap locking engagement with a carriage (100) mounted in the table channels (14). A resilient component support (150) on the carriage (100) supports components of the truss (20) in a position above the top of the assembly table (10). The component support (150) deforms when a downward force is applied by a press for driving connector plates (C) into the components so that the component engages the table (10). A heel locating device (400) of the jigging system can be secured to the table (10) and extended or retracted as needed to precisely locate the truss heel.
