ABSTRACT

Pre-plating systems and related methods are disclosed. A pre-plating system
can include a press, an infeed robot configured to deliver a structural member
to the press, and an outfeed robot configured to remove the structural member
from the press. The press is configured to secure a plate to the structural
member while the structural member is held in position by at least one of the
infeed robot or the outfeed robot. A pre-plating system includes a press, a
transfer pedestal, a plate picking robot, and a press loading robot. The plate
picking robot is configured to pick a plate from a container and position the
plate on the transfer pedestal. The press loading robot is configured to
transfer the plate to the press. The press is configured to press the plate
into a structural member positioned within the press.
