Mobi One ​

The Mobi One (by H&M) is an automated timber wall panel processing machine. It handles the entire panel manufacturing process — framing, nailing, milling, sawing, drilling, and gluing — in a single station.

Overview ​

The Mobi One is set up as a machine linked to a station in your production line. When a constructible reaches that station, the system can generate MOB machine files with all the manufacturing instructions.

There are two versions:

• Mobi One V1 — Single-carriage design, generates MOB v1 files.
• Mobi One V2 — Dual-carriage design with expanded capabilities, generates MOB v2 files.

Processing Units ​

The Mobi One can be equipped with various processing units depending on your configuration:

Machine Setup ​

In Company Settings > Production Lines, configure the Mobi One with:

• Layer orientation — Inside, outside, or none.
• X-axis mirroring — Mirror operations along the X-axis if needed.
• Machine zero position — The reference point for the coordinate system (top-right, top-left, bottom-right, or bottom-left).
• Nailing matrix — Customize nail patterns by beam size. Each beam size row sets the top/bottom padding and the number of nails. The beam size is the height of the stud where it meets the rail. Rows are kept sorted by beam size when the setup is saved.
• Nailing matrices by part class — The matrix window can hold one whole matrix per part class: the matrix by beam size, the nail columns by beam width and their two range switches, all of them per class. Pick Default or a class at the top of the window; add a class with the field beside it, choosing one of the classes of your parsing setups or typing a new name. A stud whose class has a matrix is nailed by it; a size or width with no row in that matrix falls back to the default matrix, and then to the automatic nailing. This is how a panel that mixes I-beams and solid studs of the same height gets two nails on the I-beams and five on the studs. See: IFC Parsing Setup
• Nail columns by beam width — Next to the matrix, a second table decides how many columns of nails a stud gets from its width: set No of Columns to 2 or more and Column Spacing to the horizontal distance between columns, per beam width. The machine file then repeats the nail row at each extra column position. A width that is not in the table gets a single column. Its rows can also be read as width ranges with Nail columns rows are width ranges, exactly like the size ranges of the matrix, and they are kept sorted by width as well. The window that holds both tables shows a preview: type a beam height and width and it draws the stud's joint with the nails the machine would drive, saying which matrix row or range answered, or that the automatic nailing applies, and warning when a column would fall outside the stud. The columns are drawn where the machine drives them: the first one 22 mm from the stud's edge (the nailer's offset from the X written in the file, which centres it on a 44 mm stud), the next ones one spacing further each.
• Nailing matrix rows are size ranges — Off by default, so each row applies to the exact beam size written in it. When on, every row is the start of a size range that runs up to the next row (the last row covers everything above it): rows at 89, 120 and 160 nail 89-119, 120-159 and 160 and up, instead of needing one row per millimetre. Sizes below the first row stay outside the matrix and get the automatic nailing.
• Processing thresholds — Minimum mill radius, CTC distances, and other tolerances.
• Treat extra woods as normal frame woods — Off by default. When off, extra woods (extra top/bottom wood and extra frame wood profiles) are handled as reinforcements: the extra rails are placed as ordinary horizontal pieces and get ledge nailing. When on, they are handled exactly like the rest of the frame: extra rails become top/bottom rails, they are nailed with the standard framing matrix, and they are included in flooring.
• Angular nailing — Off by default. For machines equipped with a tilting nailer unit: nailer codes in the file are written with 4 digits (00, 10 or 20 in front of the tool number). Nailing along the panel contour, around windows and in the middle of a plate stays straight (00 + tool). At a joint between two plates, the nail row on the left side of the joint gets 10 + tool and the one on the right side gets 20 + tool, so each row is driven at an angle into the shared wood. Every zone also gets a Nail Context drawing with the operation drawings, showing how each nail line was classified (contour, window, plate joint or plate face).
• SVG Drawings — All on by default. One switch per operation drawing generated with the machine files: Framing nails, Frame Glueing, Operations (plates nailing), Glueing, Bricks, Isolation, Battens, Batten Intersections, Plates Layout and the Nail Context debug drawing. Turn off the ones you don't use to skip generating them — the machine files themselves are not affected. In a production line with several stations, the switches of the machine that owns zone 0 (the frame) apply to the whole line.

Job Settings ​

When generating machine files, configure per-job options:

• Starting side — Which face to begin processing (inside or outside).
• Shift mode — How operations are shifted between layers.
• Nailing pattern — Regular, large panel, or optimized.
• Mill direction — Clockwise or counter-clockwise per zone.
• Tool assignments — Which physical unit to use for each zone.
• CTC spacing — Center-to-center distances for nail lines.

Generating Machine Files ​

1. Go to the Reports tab in your project.
2. Click New Report and select MOB v1 Machine File (or MOB v2).
3. Select the assemblies to process.
4. Choose the production line and machine.
5. Adjust job settings if needed.
6. Click Submit to generate.

The output is a ZIP file containing one .mob file per assembly.

Linking to Production ​

When the Mobi One station is configured in your production line, the machine files are available to production workers through the Viewer. The operations drawings button shows the machine processing sequence for each constructible.
