Column Nailing Machine

Made in Illinois. Amity Nailing Machines are designed with a focus on quality, experience, service, and innovation. Our machines are simple, reliable, and cost-effective, offering one of the shortest return on investments (ROI) in the industry.

Our column nailing machine is designed to produce high-quality laminated wooden columns ranging from 12 to 40 feet in length, using either 2″ x 6″ or 2″ x 8″ boards, and available in 3 or 4-ply options. 

It is designed for those that require high-production. Our unique design provides a solution for consistent throughput so you don’t have to wait for a machine to process one column before moving to the next.

The machine features the following components:

  • A sturdy pre-assembly table that accommodates one or two operators, allowing them to place, glue, and tack the boards together efficiently.
  • After pre-assembly, the operators can safely and easily transfer the column to the infeed conveyor without lifting or touching it again.
  • The column is automatically conveyed to the nailing machine, where it passes through independent clamping stations that secure and align the column before nailing.
  • The nailing machine is equipped with four independently-operated nail guns, strategically positioned to ensure each nail is fired in a precise location. An accurate and user-friendly electronic system controls the nail spacing, ensuring proper placement along the column and around the finger joints.
  • Once nailing is complete, the column can either go through an optional third-party double-head planer or be directly conveyed to a stacker.
  • The included stacker automatically lifts and stacks columns two, three, or four high and can hold up to six stacks before needing to be unloaded.
