The Cameron Automation Flooring Nester
Stacking and packaging of nested bundles of Hardwood Flooring has always been a manual process. Cameron Automation has revolutionized this process with the Flooring Nester.
What Does the Machine Do?
The Cameron Flooring Nester creates accurate nested flooring bundles. Graders feed random lengths of material into one end of the machine, and the Flooring Nester releases a consistent, nested bundle of flooring out the opposite end. Most importantly, it creates bundles the exact square footage you want to sell, increasing your profits by up to 3%.
How Does it Work
The Cameron Flooring Nester is an elegant, efficient blend of hardware and software. The machine works by doing the following:
Combine Flooring Nesters on the same out-feed conveyor and strapping machine to increase productivity. This allows a single operator to manage multiple machines and keep your strapping and stacking operation centralized.

Compact and powerful, the #513B – Flooring Nester maximizes workspace efficiency.
Leverage measuring strips of flooring, one by one, and feeding the information to the computer. to streamline your workflow.
Bring board information is relayed to the computer, which decides how to use each board. to your bench for flawless quality.
Harness sending boards which can be used now are sent to the out-feed to build a bundle, while others are stored in our unique scoop storage system. for faster cycle times.
Take advantage of strips of flooring the computer decides to use now are accumulated in the out-feed into rows. rows are accumulated until a layer is made. for superior output.
Advantages over Hand Nesting
Flooring strips of random length enter the machine where they are measured for length. Strips are released by two sets of stops onto the main conveyor. At precisely the right time, a strip is scooped off of the main conveyor by an innovative lifting system. A computer processes the lengths of the strips to determine which combination of strips will produce an accurate length row. The machine constantly picks up and puts down strips to create rows. Rows are accumulated on the outfeed to create layers on the outfeed table. Layers are stripped off of the outfeed table to create bundles. Completed bundles are pushed off of the outfeed onto a conveyor, ready for strapping and packaging.
Automatic Belt, Automatic Strapper, and an Automatic Kicking Station
Complementing the Cameron Flooring Nester, the Cameron Automation Automated Strapping Line saves labor to the final step in your nested bundle flooring line. Using a touch screen interface to specify the length of bundles and number of straps needed, the conveyor line automatically advances the nested bundle from the Flooring Nester to the strapping machine, straps the appropriate number of straps and then moves the bundle ahead to the kicker station. The bundle is then kicked into the accumulating station. A single operator can manage several systems which reduces labor and increases profitability.
