Brick/block laying machine incorporated in a vehicle
A self-contained truck-mounted brick laying machine can include a frame that can support packs or pallets of bricks placed on a platform. A transfer robot can pick up and move the brick(s). A carousel can be coaxial with a tower. The carousel can transfer the brick(s) via the tower to an articulated and/or telescoping boom. The bricks can be moved along the boom by, e.g., linearly moving shuttles, to reach a brick laying and adhesive applying head. The brick laying and adhesive applying head can mount to an element of the stick, about an axis which is disposed horizontally. The poise of the brick laying and adhesive applying head about the axis can be adjusted and can be set in use so that the base of a clevis of the robotic arm mounts about a horizontal axis, and the tracker component is disposed uppermost on the brick laying and adhesive applying head. The brick laying and adhesive applying head can apply adhesive to the brick and can have a robot that lays the brick. Vision and laser scanning and tracking systems can be provided to allow the measurement of as-built slabs, bricks, the monitoring and adjustment of the process and the monitoring of safety zones. The first, or any course of bricks can have the bricks pre machined by the router module so that the top of the course is level once laid.

Method for Controlling a Wall Saw System During the Creation of a Separation Cut
A method for controlling a wall saw system during the creation of a separating cut in a workpiece. The movement of the saw head is controlled at the end points such that a boundary of the wall saw facing the end point coincides with the end point after the pivoting movement of the saw arm. In the case of a free end point, the boundary of the wall saw is formed by an upper exit point of the saw blade. In the case of an obstacle, the boundary of the wall saw is formed by the saw blade edge of the saw blade if the processing occurs without the blade guard or by the blade guard edge of the blade guard if the processing occurs with the blade guard.
Method for Controlling a Wall Saw System During the Creation of a Separation Cut
A method for controlling a wall saw system during the creation of a separating cut in a workpiece. The movement of the saw head is controlled at the end points such that a boundary of the wall saw facing the end point coincides with the end point after the pivoting movement of the saw arm. In the case of a free end point, the boundary of the wall saw is formed by an upper exit point of the saw blade. In the case of an obstacle, the boundary of the wall saw is formed by the saw blade edge of the saw blade if the processing occurs without the blade guard or by the blade guard edge of the blade guard if the processing occurs with the blade guard.
Method for Controlling a Wall Saw System When Making a Separating Cut
A method for controlling a wall system when creating a separating cut in a workpiece between a first and a second end point is disclosed. The wall saw system includes a wall saw having a saw head, a pivotable saw arm, a saw blade and a blade guard. The separating cut is carried out in a plurality of main cuts. The pivoting movement of the saw arm in a main cutting angle is carried out in at least two steps with at least one intermediate angle, where a free cut of the saw blade is carried out in the respective intermediate angle between the pivoting movements of the saw arm.
