  • a first station including one or more robots, which robots initially position top and bottom frame elements and subsequently position frame elements between top and bottom frame elements, wherein the frame elements are positioned according to input from the central process control computer, and wherein the robots fasten the frame elements in relation to each other such that a first frame is constructed;
  • a third robot places one or more plates upon the frame element layer such that the plate covers the frame element layer with the exception of areas in which disposition of doors, windows or other apertures are foreseen in the finished building component, and wherein the plate is fastened to the frame element layer.
  • a robot with an unrolling device positions a sealing strip on the outermost frame element all the way around the element and in window and door apertures and other cutouts which are not to be covered by the outer plate layer before the plates are laid on the framework.

When the plate has been fastened such that it is positionally fixed, the holding robot releases and picks up the next plate while the gun robot finishes clamping the previously mentioned plate, and so on until the frame has been covered completely. If raw plates are used, all or some of the adaptation in the process takes place in the station. 3. Layer - Plate mounting internally

  • the turning device 41 see Figs. 3a-3d, may turn in a circular movement, part of a circular movement, with greater or lesser interruptions in the movement, example shown under.
  • the turning station may also function as work station for other entirely or partially automated functions.
  • the materials which the robots are to use for constructing the elements are placed within reach of the robots and positioned correctly by mechanical raisers. Materials can be conveyed to the robots via rollerways 23, see Fig. 1 , chain belts or transfer cars. Lift tables with mechanical raisers providing for supply of plates for the assembly process can be incorporated.
  • the insulation head/injection device 101 consists of a plate lying flatly down on the framework in which there are two slots. Injection tube/hose runs in the foremost through which the material is supplied to the underlying spaces in the element.
  • the tube can be moved in the slot from side to side and the tube can be turned 280° around so that the injection direction is variable.
  • the tube can furthermore be elevated and lowered relative to the bottom side of the plate such that it projects more or less down into the volume space across which the device is moved.
  • the tube mouth can be shaped according to the direction in which the supplied material is to be delivered. The tube mouth can be adjusted in relation to the size of the opening or it may be changed to a different size automatically or entirely or partially manually.
  • a variable "needle filter” consisting of rods that are lowered down to the bottom of the space. The ends of the rods are rounded in order not to adhere to irregularities in the bottom. Only the number of needles fitting the width of the volume space across which the device is moved are lowered. The redundant needles are held up by a catcher which can be elevated/lowered relative to the actual depth of the volume space. By asymmetric, curved or round spaces, the "needle width" is adapted during the movement. In both slots there is fitted a brush filter or other flexible sealing that seals around the injection tube and the "needle filter". A brush filter can be mounted on the needles at the sides towards the sides of adjacent needles. All filters are applied to prevent or limit material spillage.
  • a meter is provided on the hose for measuring the amount of material supplied under the plate. This measurement determines the speed at which the robot or other control device moves the plate across the element to be filled.
