automated chord preplate

The Automated Chord Preplate System is actually two systems in one: an automated splicer that splices multiple members into a single chord, and a preplate systems that presses nail plates into the correct locations on the chord. In its combined mode, both the splicer and the preplate system work together to produce a completed spliced and preplated chord. The infeed is manually loaded in a sequential order of members that need to be spliced\preplated. The outfeed has chords that are spliced\preplated together and they are manually unloaded.
