Abstract: An automated drywalling system network that including one or more automated drywalling systems that each has a robotic arm. The automated drywalling system network can also include a computational planner that generates instructions for the one or more automated drywalling systems to perform two or more drywalling tasks associated with a target wall assembly. The two or more drywalling tasks can include a hanging task that includes hanging pieces of drywall on studs of the target wall assembly; a mudding task that includes applying joint compound to pieces of drywall hung on studs of the target wall assembly; a sanding task that includes sanding joint compound applied to the pieces of drywall hung on studs of the target wall assembly; and a painting task that includes painting sanded the joint compound applied to the pieces of drywall hung on studs of the target wall assembly.

Abstract: A folder apparatus is disclosed which has a removable mounting plate supporting both of the corresponding exit rollers of a single lead-in tape assembly. The modular cartridge formed by the mounting plate and exit rollers allows for easy replacement of these parts in the folder.

Abstract: A folder apparatus is disclosed which has at least one lead-in tape mechanism having a left lead-in tape and left exit roller and a corresponding right lead-in tape and right exit roller, the fight and left lead-in tapes forming a signature passage for delivery of a stream of signatures. One of the exit rollers is spring-loaded in the direction of a fixed exit roller. The spring loading takes place with two springs acting opposite one another, the springs having different spring rates or modula. This dual spring action reduces pounding caused by the signatures as they pass through the lead-in tapes.

Abstract: A folder apparatus is disclosed which has at least two side-by-side lead-in tape mechanisms having a left lead-in tape and left exit roller and a corresponding right lead-in tape and right exit roller, the right and left lead-in tapes forming a signature passage for delivery of a signature, and the left exit rollers being at a different height than the right exit rollers. The rollers of the side-by-side tape mechanisms have alternating heights. The exit rollers may be fixed or spring-loaded in the direction of the corresponding roller.

Abstract: A method for the continuous formation of a stack of folded products standing on edge includes feeding folded products to a stack of folded products standing on edge. The stack is moved forward with a conveyor belt at a speed being matched to the feeding of the folded products to the stack. An interruption in the continuous feeding of the folded products to the stack is detected. A separating device is activated. The conveyor belt is stopped for the duration of the interruption. A device for the continuous formation of the stack of folded products includes a device for feeding the folded products in a stream to a stack of folded products standing on edge. The stack is moved forward on a conveyor belt at a speed being synchronized with the feeding of the folded products to the stack. At least one separating device contacts the folded products. A sensor monitors the stream of folded products and supplies output signals.
