Abstract

A new technology and equipment for facade brick walls laying were offered. The innovation is based on usage of a manual machine with an electromagnetic drive, working in conjunction with two laser tools. The main advantage of new technology is high accuracy of walls masonry. The achieved deviation in vertical and horizontal positioning of bricks is not more than ± 0,5 mm. The second advantage of the technology is an ability to obtain high operation capacity at low qualification of a bricklayer. The series of special devices, which allow to implement innovations were described. The article describes the principle of operation, circuit devices, their structure, the results of field tests. Technical originality is confirmed by a number of authors patents.
