Abstract

A process for fabricating walls from wood framing materials, particularly suited for use in fabricating walls of a type normally employed in constructing frame structures and the like, characterized by an employment of a series of sequentially actuated machine systems electrically interconnected for selecting and feeding components and for selectively assembling the components into walls having adjustably regulated dimensions and selectively controlled spaced and dimensioned openings defining doors, windows and the like, a particular feature of the invention being a combination of an electrical control system interconnected with a series of operative systems for driving the machine through a predetermined sequence of machine events, in redundant or non-redundant modes, for fabricating a series of walls to be erected into frame structures.
