Benefits of technology
This patent describes a device or system for marking different parts of a truss, which is a type of construction used in buildings. The device includes a print mechanism that can print different information, like the location of a truss or the type of truss used, onto lumber. The device also has a sensing device that can detect the position of the lumber, and a computing component that can extract the geometry of the truss and generate the print instructions. Overall, this system helps to accurately and efficiently mark truss elements, which can save time and improve efficiency in the construction process.
Problems solved by technology
As such, without more, it can be difficult to know how a particular element fits into the truss as a whole.
Where multiple trusses are being assembled and, in particular, where many trusses are unique, the positioning of the members and the positioning of the plates can account for a large amount of time.

Embodiment Construction
[0018]The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a print device for use in conjunction with a saw for cutting truss elements. The print device may include a computing device for inputting truss information including truss geometry, member sizes, and truss plate locations. The device may include systems for isolating each member of the truss and extracting each member's individual geometry including miter geometry at the ends and the like such that elements may be created to assemble the truss. The print device may be configured to print a full diagram of the truss on each element and highlight, or otherwise identify within the diagram, the member of the truss that the element forms. The diagram may be oriented on the element such that when the element is oriented such that the diagram is oriented in elevation, the truss element may be oriented in its particular truss orientation. In addition, the print device may be configured to print a boundary line or border showing ...

Abstract
A marking device for marking a truss element of a truss may include a print mechanism arranged to print selected truss information on lumber elements moving on a conveyance system passed the print mechanism, the selected truss information including one of an element identifying truss diagram, a truss plate location, and an intersecting member identifier, a position sensing device configured to sense the position of the lumber relative to the print mechanism, and a computing component, the computing component including a geometry extraction module for extracting the geometry of the element to be marked, an element marking generator for generating print instructions for the selected truss information, a position sensing module for interfacing with the position sensing device to ascertain the position of the lumber element, and a print control module for controlling the print mechanism to print the selected truss information.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application claims priority to Australian Patent Application No. 2013245494 entitled Provision of Assembly Information for Truss Fabrication, filed on Oct. 16, 2013, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present application relates to a marking device for printing, inscribing, etching, or otherwise providing markings on an element for use in assembling a component. More particularly, the present application relates to a marking device for printing markings on an element of a truss for use in assembling the truss. Still more particularly, the present application relates to a marking device for printing a truss diagram and / or truss plate locations on an element of a truss.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Truss manufacturing, and in particular, wood truss manufacturing initially involves cutting a series of raw lumber boards to make truss elements including...
