Hardware Integration
Hardware can be mounted directly to the skins of the composite panel or to dedicated reinforcement inserts integrated into its structure.
These inserts create optimized fixing points, designed according to the type of hardware, the applied loads, and the performance requirements of the final application.
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Stratigraphic study
Frame Integration
Edging
Coating with laminate
CNC machining
Tool insertion
Metric threads and bushings
Metric screw inserts
Steel inserts . Inserts with round head, cylindrical head or semi-hexagonal, inserts with flat, countersunk or reduced collar.
Thread: M1.0(11), M1.2 (2), M2 (15), M2.5 (33),M3 (17), M3 (108), M3.5 (36),
M4 (107), M5 (82), M6 (44), M8 (32).
The inserts with metric thread are anchored to the aluminum skins through a mechanical deformation system of the insert itself. This screwing system is particularly solid and reversible, because the screws can be screwed and unscrewed multiple times.
Self-tapping nylon inserts
Nylon inserts. An aluminum alloy nut in a cage with tapered nylon walls.
This screwing system is particularly simple to use: once the panel has been drilled, simply insert the nylon insert dry, which will ensure, through expansion, the grip of the self-tapping screw.
Hinges, brackets and sliding systems
Technical Documentation
Concealed hinge
Hinge with cup
Concealed hinges require the installation of a perimeter frame that allows for the necessary rebate milling. Screwing can be done either with wood screws or with metric screws, after inserting suitable bushings.
Cup hinges can be applied without the need to provide any perimeter frame.
Screwing is done with metric inserts or self-tapping screws; the cup recess is milled directly into the honeycomb panel.
Carts
Hooks
The trolleys for sliding doors can be applied with the screwing systems already described and do not require perimeter frames.
The hangers for boiserie can be screwed in using the same technique as the previous hardware elements
