Abstract
A truss-jig-positioning system that includes a truss-assembly table having a support plane, a plurality of slots in the support plane, and a plurality of puck assemblies automatically movable along the slots. Each puck is self-powered and self-locks at selected locations. A controller controls the pucks. Images of the truss-assembly table and pucks allow the controller to locate pucks, and transmit location-correction information as needed to move pucks to desired locations for building various trusses, wall assemblies, etc. Pucks are self-powered, self-moving, motorized jigging members. Each operates from controller commands to unlock from one location, move along their slot and lock to a new location. Optionally location-measuring (machine-vision) subsystem(s) communicate wirelessly with the pucks to readjust positions and re-lock at the adjusted position. Optionally, the jigging pucks can automatically move along slots to connect to a recharging station to self-recharge on-puck batteries or supercapacitors.
