A staging assembly for a shell press assembly sheet feeder assembly is provided. The shell press assembly includes an infeed and the sheet feeder assembly. The sheet feeder assembly includes a feeder actuator. The feeder actuator has a first path and a second path. The staging assembly includes a staging assembly frame assembly. The staging assembly frame assembly defines a first sheet bay and a second sheet bay. The first sheet bay is structured to temporarily support a first number of material sheets. The second sheet bay structured to temporarily support a second number of material sheets.

A Solar power plant construction method includes a string formation step of arranging solar modules delivered to an assembly plant on support frames to form planar solar strings, a conveyance step of stacking the solar strings in a container and loading the container on a container truck to convey the container to a power plant site, and a solar string installation step of transferring the container delivered to the power plant site to a site machine and measuring distances and directions between a crane included in the site machine placed at a predetermined position of a stand array group for mounting solar array provided in the power plant site and stands to pull up the solar strings by the crane of the site machine to sequentially distribute the solar strings to respective stand positions measured in the stand position measurement step to form and fix a solar array.

An automated lumber handling system laser-scans the top profile of multiple stacks of lumber, each of which contain boards of a unique size. Based on the scanned profiles, the system determines the order in which individual boards from a chosen stack should be transferred to a numerically controlled saw. The saw cuts the boards to proper size and in the proper sequence to facilitate orderly assembly of a roof truss or prefabricated wall. In some examples, the system lifts individual boards by driving two retractable screws, or some other piercing tool, down into the upward facing surface of the board. A track mounted cantilever, holding the screws and a laser unit, translates over the lumber stacks to retrieve and deliver individual boards and, while doing so, the laser repeatedly scans the stacked lumber profiles on-the-fly to continuously update the profiles. The open cantilever design facilitates replenishing the stacks of lumber.

A suction collection system may include: a heat treatment chamber; a suction chamber disposed downstream of an exit of the heat treatment chamber; a suction nozzle disposed in the suction chamber and configured to suction and collect an object; a first partition disposed between the heat treatment chamber and the suction chamber and configured to perform switching between a communicating state in which the heat treatment chamber and the suction chamber communicate and a non-communicating state in which the heat treatment chamber and the suction chamber do not communicate; a gas replacement chamber disposed downstream of the suction chamber; and a second partition disposed between the suction chamber and the gas replacement chamber and configured to perform switching between a communicating state in which the suction chamber and the gas replacement chamber communicate and a non-communicating state in which the suction chamber and the gas replacement do not communicate.

The problem of potentially damaging a pallet layer that is gripped by clamps of a depalletizing tool is solved i) by detecting the real position of the layer using a pad on the tool that is movable with the clamps towards the pallet layer and whose detected stopping position determines the real position of the layer, and ii) while the layer is gripped by the clamp, by inserting under the layer curtains; the pressure on the layer by the clamps being adapted to the ease to go underneath the layer.
