Abstract
A truss jigging system has an elongated table having a lower support deck supporting a plurality of spaced slot-defining C-shaped or T-shaped rails with infill panels filling spaces in between to define a truss-piece support. The table has a plurality of the carriages moving in the slots and moving locating pins or pucks that extend above the support plane to select positions. Linear drive systems drive the carriages to and fro. The locating pins (or pucks), the carriages and the drive systems therefor are all preferably located above the base plane of the lower support deck in order to accommodate a 'X-Y scrolling vertical press style' which has a heavy lower crossbeam that scrapes or skims laterally left and right closely underneath the lower support deck.
