Rebate profiles help create dirt-tight frameworks
Rebate profiles in the Item range of building components can be used for mounting a wide selection of panel elements.
It is fitted to a rigid upright and can be used with both the line 6 and line 8 profiles in the Item range.
It comprises a black zinc die-casting which incorporates a ball socket on the underside.
A mating circular steel ring is used which provides +/-4deg of rotational inclination which is sufficient to counter local variations on most flooring.
The single floor fixing hole provided also allows up to 6mm of horizontal movement of the foot which can be used for positioning before being tightened.
This eliminates the need for accurate drilling of location holes in concrete, which can be a difficult operation on site.
Once the uprights are installed, it is a simple matter to then hang the prefabricated panels on them using proprietary components in the Item range.
Minor variations in position and angular settings are allowed for in the method of construction, with panels interchanged on site without machining.
An entire cell guarding system can be easily installed by one person in a few hours. Request a free brochure from Machine Building Systems ...
