Estimating the term…
Prefabricated Class-A fire-protected mass timber building components are first sprayed or curtain-coated with clean fire inhibiting chemical (CFIC) liquid, in an automated prefabricated wood building factory environment, to provide Class-A fire-protection under the ASTM 84E test standard. Thereafter, the prefabricated Class-A fire-protected mass timber building components are sprayed or coated again with a different chemical liquid so as to provide added UV-light, moisture and termite protection to the Class-A fire-protected CLT building components. Preferably, a multi-axis robotic spray system is used for spraying CFIC liquid over all of the surfaces of the prefabricated mass timber. Machine vision systems can be used to collect video data of the spraying operations, analyzing the collected video data against preconstructed reference models, and providing guidance as required to achieve predetermined standards of quality control (QC) along the production line.
An automated prefabricated mass timber panel factory system for producing Class-A fire-protected prefabricated mass timber building panels, each being provided with an added layer of UV/moisture/termite protection applied over its Class-A fire-protection layer, said automated prefabricated mass timber panel factory system comprising:
2-7. (canceled)
An automated prefabricated building factory system comprising:
(canceled)
10-12. (canceled)
An automated wood-framed factory system comprising:
14-17. (canceled)
