FACTORY TOWN PRE-FABRICATED WAREHOUSE FACILITIES

What is Factory Town ?

Factory Town is a modern manufacturing complex that builds economic and energy efficient modular housing, doors, and windows in two-flat and single-family formats. Factory Town designs and builds units utilizing state of the art automated assembly lines, trained staff and dedicated professionals.

Factory Town is an economic engine for community development, a direct solution to the rising demands of efficient affordable housing and a way to increase affordable homeownership and build underserved communities by bringing equitable investment.

Why Factory Town ?

The Chicago metropolitan area needs more than 229,000 affordable housing units and modular home manufacturing is a quicker build and installation process. In addition to reducing waist and site disturbance, the Modular Home designs are sustainable, modern and pricing is cost controlled. Manufacturing jobs produce higher compensation than any other job sector per capita.

Carpentry Machines:

From fast cutting to complex beam processing the carpentry machines are equipped to tackle a wide range of processing tasks - from making a quick cut to completing a complex beam processing operation. Use the carpentry machines in carpentry applications, timber frame construction, half-timbered construction and prefabricated house construction.

Carpentry Machine BEAMTEQ B-660:

All six sides of a component in a single run benefitting from an underfloor unit, the BEAMTEQ B660 enables fully automated processing of all six sides of a component. Quickly and easily manufacture traditional block house joints, blocking grooves on rafters and dovetail connections on both sides of ridge beams.

BENEFITS

•Excellent beam processing performance: Depending on the product range, a processing speed of up to 30% faster than the industry standard can be achieved

•Easy to use since tilting is not necessary

•Rapid installation on-site: The uniformly precise design of all machine components facilitates the assembly process

•Space-saving setup thanks to the compact design

Assembly Tables:

Assembly tables enable you to easily manufacture timber frame construction elements with a high degree of dimensional accuracy. They are suitable for a wide range of applications including wall, roof, floor and gable elements.

Self Assembly Table BUILDTEQ A-300:

We Provide the Technology, You Build the Table

Assembly table as a flat-pack solution: We provide you with assembly instructions that you can use to easily build the table yourself. The BUILDTEQ A-300 from WEINMANN provides you with a universal tool for producing timber frame walls and roof and floor elements.

Carpentry Table BUILDTEQ A-500:

The universal tool for carpenters

It is in small and medium-sized carpentry businesses in particular that the WEINMANN carpentry table really achieves its full potential. The BUILDTEQ A-500 offers a flexible all-round solution for anyone manufacturing wall, gable, roof and floor elements, frame walls and roof dormers in timber frame construction.

Butterfly Turning Table:

Turning elements in a single movement

The butterfly turning table offers the ideal solution for turning your elements, allowing you to process both sides. Once the first side has been processed, the element is transferred to the second assembly table where it is completed.

Element Table MOVETEQ:

Multifunctional solution for production lines

The MOVETEQ element tables are truly versatile components in the production line and take over tasks such as turning elements, aligning elements at the correct angle to ensure safe sheathing and processing, transporting elements, and tilting elements for storage.

Roof and Floor Fable BUILDTEQ F-500:

The specialist tool for roof and floor production

Produce your roof or floor elements quickly and easily with the BUILDTEQ F-500 . The table uses CAD data to specify the position of the beams fully automatically and clamps them securely. If the table is integrated into a production line, the elements can also be transported, installed and turned. The fully automated setup process is performed only during non-productive time, meaning that there is no waiting time from one item to the next. The table produces accurate rectangles and correctly mounted elements in next to no time.

II. SOLUTION FOR RAW FRAMING CONSTRUCTION

Framing Station & Combi Wall Systems:

You are looking for a system for the production of your frame works? Whether you produce simple frame works or complex constructions offers you two options. The framing stations can be also integrated in a production line. The space in your production hall is limited? Therefore the combi wall systems offer a comfortable solution. The framework assembly and element sheeting takes place at one workstation. Frameworks with sheeting one side can be produced with little space requirement.

Framework Station FRAMETEQ F-500:

Complex frame works produced with ease

Complex and challenging frame works can be manufactured quickly and easily with the FRAMETEQ F-500 framework station. Top and bottom plates are fed in manually, positioned at the stops and automatically tensioned. The studs are also automatically positioned, tensioned and secured. The higher level of automation offered in comparison to the FRAMETEQ F-300 significantly increases the performance of the machine.

Combi Wall System FRAMETEQ M-500: A

high-performance combination

The FRAMETEQ M-500 combi wall system can be used to manufacture framework with sheathing on one side with just one operator – while still ensuring high quality and performance. The framework is automatically aligned, tensioned and secured. Attachment and processing of the sheathing is also performed as part of an automated process on the same workstation.

Robots in Timber Framing:

Robot management in framework production

Availability of approximately 100%, high repeat accuracy and high-precision material handling: robots are reliable partners and increase the cost-effectiveness of woodwork production automatically. In combination with the framework station, the robot allows studs and plates for wall elements with windows and doors or special elements such as gables to be inserted fully automatically. Regardless of whether it's standard and special studs or the top and bottom plate, the robot inserts a wide variety of studs into the framework automatically and with high precision. In this process, the six-axis robot transports stud weights of up to 75 kg without any problems.
