Abstract

A digitally automated system that eliminates the carpentry centric approach by integrating software and specialized machines to process light gauge steel framing members of different profiles so they can be assembled into wall sections without a carpenter referring to building plans, layout or manually marking and cutting. The machinery provides a receiving station where either tracks or studs are placed, measured and imprinted with unique indicia indicating the placement in a wall section and in the building. The tracks and studs are processed by other machinery that cut, punch, emboss and otherwise process the framing members. The processed framing members are bundled and assembled into wall sections for placement in the building. The software directs the imprinting of the unique indicia and selects the framing members that meet all necessary criteria.
