Machine automatically applies joint compound, produces and cuts corners
Structus to Unveil AUTOSLAM™ Technology at INTEX 08 in Vegas
January 30, 2008 (Bend, OR) – Structus Building Technologies, the creator of NO-COAT® drywall corners, today announced plans to unveil its latest innovation at the 2008 INTEX tradeshow.
The company’s new AUTOSLAM™ machine automates drywall corner trim application by using a single 500 foot roll to produce outside/inside corners, off-angles and L Trim to specified lengths. AUTOSLAM™ allows contractors to input large sets of specified corner trim lengths and profiles at one time, making it ideal for multi-unit buildings and large commercial projects. Once data has been entered, the machine automatically applies joint compound, and produces and cuts those corners within seconds. Run time averages 120 linear feet of corner per minute.
The machine is the brainstorm of entrepreneur and CEO Tim Smythe, and has been in development for over two years. “AUTOSLAM™ is the future,” asserts Smythe. “A lot of companies claim to have inventions that will revolutionize our industry, but this represents a true technological leap forward.”
Structus will be holding AUTOSLAM™ demonstrations at Booth #1125 in the Paris Ballroom during the INTEX ’08 tradeshow on March 26th and 27th in Las Vegas.
