Abstract
An assembly table for roof trusses has open parallel channels located on the table which contain jig stops. The jig stops are moveable along their respective channels by means of a connector head which can be raised and lowered from a gantry carriage located on a gantry which spans the table and runs along tracks located on each side of the table. The respective movements and operation of the gantry, gantry carriage and connector head are controlled by a computer.
