Operators work together and with the Big Buddy. They place bottom boards and blocks in a jig on one side of the machine while placing a pre-assembled mat on the pre-assembled bottom in a jig on the other side. With one pass of the gantry, the bottom deck boards and blocks is fastened while the mat is fastened to the pre-assembled block bottom. Once nailed, the machine automatically ejects the complete pallet out of one side of the machine and to a waiting pallet stacker.
The operator flips the just-nailed bottom from the bottom jig to the top jig, and a pre-assembled mat is placed on top of the assembly while the process starts again.
- 6 total nail guns – 3 for the bottom, 3 for the top
- Bottom and top nail gun firing systems are independently controlled.
- Shifting jig provides two (2) nailing points in each block.
