PrePlater still feeding the truss line in Centralia

Future of Built filmed it. The plate that used to be a hammer.

Sawtooth Robotics builds plant automation for component manufacturers. PrePlater presses nail plates onto roof and floor members and walks them toward the jig - cutting the hand-plate bottleneck on truss lines.

Company news frames a next-generation PrePlater debut around BCMC 2025. Nampa, Idaho. Custom ABB cells and wall-panel lines sit beside the PrePlater SKU.

Component plants still live on labor at the plate table. Sawtooth’s published answer is that table robot.
