Razor's "state
of the art" fully Computerized Jigging on Solid Steel Roof Truss Lines
|
Key Benefits
The market demand for increasingly complex trusses is a direct result of the
trend in construction, of more complex rooflines and intricate interior
ceilings. With the advent of less
skilled carpenters to perform these tasks it has created both an opportunity and
challenge for truss manufactures.
From the beginning of Razor Component Systems plant operations, a multi
million-dollar commitment was made to address this challenge head on.

Auto-Omni Saw
|
|
The first purchase was that of a state-of-the-art computerized robotic saw,
known as the (Auto-Omni Saw). The Omni saw allows an operator to quickly and
accurately download directly from the Truss Design department the incredible
array of cuts for each truss, virtually eliminating human error. The set-up time
for the "five saw heads" are blindly fast and accurate. We were so impressed with
this saw we bought another and put them in tandem.

 Auto-Omni Computerized Robotic Saw
|
|
While this addresses the all-important issue of cutting the “jig saw”
pieces to each truss, you still have to accurately assemble them. Razor
researched other state-of-the-art jigging systems, including the new Laser
systems, (which only projects outlines, no actual jigging), we decided on the
computerized mechanical Omni Jigging system; which used the same exact
information that the Omni Saws do, thus forming an amazingly accurate and
synergistic manufacturing system.
The entire plant computer systems are all connected by fiber-optics.
The
market is demanding ever-higher quality, faster deliveries and competitive
prices. Razor’s commitment to
automation is "part of the story" as how Razor is winning that battle
and giving it a competitive advantage......
