Extruded Aluminum Roof Truss Manufacturing System and Methods

An extruded roof truss, comprising:

• an extruded chord, comprising:
• a top chord, comprising:
• a top chord extrusion configured as a substantially aluminum material;
• and
• a bottom chord removably coupled to the top chord, comprising:
• a bottom chord extrusion configured as a substantially aluminum material;
• a web bracing removably coupled to the extruded chord, comprising:
• a web brace extrusion configured as a substantially aluminum material;
• and
• an a-brace removably coupled to the top chord extrusion and bottom chord extrusion, comprising:
• a web brace extrusion further comprising a first end and a second end;
• a first pivot bracket coupled to the first end of the web brace extrusion by a first fastener;
• and
• a second pivot bracket coupled to the second end of the web brace extrusion by a second fastener;
• a bracket removably coupled to the extruded chord, comprising:
• a gusset removably coupled to the top chord extrusion and the bottom chord extrusion;
• and
• a peak hinge assembly removably coupled to the top chord extrusion, comprising:
• a hinge left;
• and
• a hinge right;
• wherein the hinge left is pivotably coupled to a hinge right by a first connector further comprising a connecting pin and a lock ring;
• wherein the gusset is pivotably coupled to the top chord extrusion by a second connector further comprising a connecting pin and a lock ring and where the gusset is removably coupled to the bottom chord extrusion by a fastener further configured as a rivet, and
• wherein the chord, the web bracing, the bracket, and the connector are configured as a fink truss.

A method for manufacturing an extruded roof truss, comprising:

• extruding a top chord, a bottom chord, and a web bracing, the top chord, bottom chord, and web bracing comprised substantially of aluminum;
• pre-assembling the top chord, bottom chord, and web bracing with one or more brackets and fasteners;
• transporting the truss in either a fully or partially assembled compact configuration to an installation site;
• rotating the truss open by pivoting the web bracing into alignment with a matching connector hole on the at least one of the top chord, bottom chord, and web bracing at the installation site;
• and
• installing one or more fasteners to complete the truss assembly.
