Truss View software by Virtek includes a variety of features, such as the ability to create detailed diagrams of truss layouts (above) which can then be projected on screen in the truss plant for easy refer- ence during production. Just Look Up! Virtek Truss View Smoothes Lay Ups, Prevents Mistakes, Speeds Production and Increases Accuracy ST. LOUIS, MO—Now even inex- perienced crews will be able to build accurate trusses fast by simply looking at the screen and know which part goes where in the correct orientation. Install it in a weekend and have your crew op- erating at peak profi ciency by Monday afternoon. Festool USA launches its new line of multi-jetstream equipped sanders, sanding pads and abrasives. Festool plans to transition all 6" disc abrasives and pads to the new multi-jetstream design. The improved design provides higher material removal rates, increases airfl ow and results in even better dust extraction effi ciency. The patented multi-jetstream technology improves air interaction resultsing in time and cost savings. The new pads also incorporate an enhanced, heat-resistant StickFix de- sign to extend both pad and abrasive life.

Truss View by Virtek displays component I.D. identifi ers for chords and webs, work order, name and quan- tity to build along with the necessary dimensions of span, height, heel height, overhang, etc. It also displays plate sizes and locations for quick and ac- curate placement by your crew. Also it quickly identifi es non-standard gage plates – eliminating crew errors. All Truss View functions are avail- able to the crew by remote control (at the table) to save steps in bringing up new menus or the next job. Truss View’s 10 ft. x 7.5 ft. screen at each jig station virtually eliminates referring to shop paperwork. While others claim screen imaging projection only Truss View has these exclusive features: www.automatedbuilder.com • Real time display of production rate (bd ft. produced vs. target); • Remote log-in to see same view (URL) of screen as displayed in real time; • Displays actual build tables with pop-ups and aisles in background; • Displays multiple trusses if more than one is to be jigged; • Displays trusses in same orienta- tion as the jig system even when rotated or mirrored; and • Displays appropriate portion of each truss when trusses span multiple jig stations. Add Virtek’s Laser imaging system and decrease layup times even further. The crew simply places truss components along a laser projected line. The system even displays plate positions and sizes. Controls to display next truss are ac- complished at the table without having to walk to a computer console or station. Add Planx™ Automated Jigging sys- tem and build trusses in less than three minutes fl at on average.

The Eternal GU32 hybrid water heater is one of the cleanest gas burning appliances on the market, operating at a signifi cantly lower emission rate than other water heaters. Eternal emits only 5ppm nitrogen oxide (NOx), a harmful greenhouse gas, well under the regulated 55 ppm Nox. Consistent water temperature and pressure is achieved with the heat exchanger confi guration, an additional performance and safety issue with tankless water heaters. In addition plumbers will also love Eternal because of the ease of installation and that it is PVC ventable. Combining the best of both tank and tankless systems Eternal’s inverted-infrared heat burner utilizes both thermal activation similar to a tank and fl ow activation similar to a tankless to heat water. Eternal is equipped with a precise computer monitoring system featuring multi-stage safety features that prevent scalding or cold water shock common with other water heaters on the market.

The release of the 800 series combo and 630 series systems is a continuation of Nuconsteel’s efforts to provide the fastest, most economical methods possible for producing light gage cold-form steel panels and trusses for both the light commercial and residential construction markets. The 800 series NuFrame system has the fl exibility to automate the production of wall, roof and ceiling panels utilizing 3.5", 5.5" or 6" profi les from one machine. This system expands the user’s ability to take greater advantage of the opportunities in the light commercial market where a 6" profi le is more common. The 630 series NuTruss 3.0 system provides a 3" truss profi le allowing the user to achieve as much as a 30% greater span potential than the 620 series NuTruss 2.0 system and allows greater penetration into light commercial markets with greater load requirements.
