Abstract
Disclosed are systems, method and devices for the processing of plasterboard sheets to provide cut plasterboard panels which are appropriately dimensioned for installation on a building site. The technology provides devices for measuring building framing, translating the building measurements to cut instructions, equipment and processes for cutting the plasterboard sheets, systems and methods of unloading, stacking and transporting the cut plasterboard panels, as well as instructions for installation.
Claims20
A system for processing building materials, comprising:
- a measurement device;
- a processor in communication with the measurement device;
- and
- a cutting system;
- wherein in use the measurement device is configured to locate points of interest on the framing of a building, and communicate the locations of the points of interest to the processor as location information, and
- wherein the processor is configured to convert the location information to cutting coordinates and pass the cutting coordinates to the cutting system which is configured to automatically cut the building materials according to the cutting coordinates.
A method of producing cut building materials, the methods comprising the steps of:
- A) attaching a measurement device to the framing of a building;
- B) measuring the distance from the measurement device to one or more points of interest on the framing;
- C) providing the measurements to a processor configured to convert the measurements to cutting coordinates;
- D) automatically loading and cutting a building material onto a cutting system;
- and
- E) cutting the building material according to the cutting coordinates.
