Abstract: A fastener gun may include a driver configured to drive a fastener of a fastener strip a plate coupled to the driver, wherein the plate is configured to receive the fastener strip a nose piece coupled to the plate, wherein the nose piece is configured to hold the fastener strip adjacent the plate, and a feeder mechanism coupled to the plate and configured to advance the fastener strip towards the driver.

Abstract: A fastener strip magazine may include a plate and a post attached to and perpendicular to the plate, wherein the post is configured to rotatably support a spool configured to support a fastener strip. The spool may include a strap configured to wind about the spool and a clip attached to the strap and configured to attach to a first end of the fastener strip. The magazine may further include a guide bar attached to the plate and configured to direct a second end of the fastener strip to a feeder as the fastener strip uncoils.

Abstract: Pre-plating systems and related methods are disclosed. A pre-plating system includes a press, an infeed robot configured to deliver a structural member to the press, and an outfeed robot configured to remove the structural member from the press. The press is configured to secure a plate to the structural member while the structural member is held in position by at least one of the infeed robot or the outfeed robot. A pre-plating system includes a press, a transfer pedestal, a plate picking robot, and a press loading robot. The plate picking robot is configured to pick a plate from a container and position the plate on the transfer pedestal. The press loading robot is configured to transfer the plate to the press. The press is configured to press the plate into a structural member positioned within the press.
