Abstract
An apparatus for assembling roof trusses including a multi-section assembly table with narrow, parallel, elongated openings in each section. Jig stops are individually adjustable along these openings by respective lead screws driven by stepper motors. The motors are controlled from a computer to automatically position the jig stops in accordance with a particular truss design. The apparatus has conveyor roller carriers between the sections of the assembly table which are raised to lift a completed truss up from the table, so that it can be slid off the table.
