Abstract
Apparatus for manufacturing a bedding foundation having a base and a wire grid of support wires comprises at least one vertically moveable staple gun having a staple head and a wire positioner associated with the staple head, the wire positioner being configured to engage one of the support wires and to position the one support wire relative to the staple head such that upon activation, the staple gun staples the one support wire in the intended position to the base. Apparatus for manufacturing a bedding foundation having a base and a wire grid of support wires comprises at least one vertically moveable staple gun for stapling the wire grid to the base, a support for supporting the base, a horizontally moveable carriage having a first gripper for gripping the wire grid and a second gripper for gripping the base, the carriage for indexing the wire grid and base beneath said staple gun, and a controller for controlling gripping of the grippers, horizontal movement of the carriage, vertical movement of the staple gun, and stapling of the wire grid to the base by the staple gun.
