Space Frame System
A space frame or space structure (3D truss) is a rigid, lightweight, truss-like structure constructed from interlocking struts in a geometric pattern. Space frames can be used to span large areas with few internal support.
Space frame systems offer a combination of strength, versatility, and aesthetics, making them a popular choice for various architectural and engineering projects.
Features and Benefits
- Lightweight: Space frames are typically made from lightweight materials like steel or aluminum, making them efficient for spanning large areas.
- High Strength: Despite their lightweight nature, space frames offer exceptional strength and load-bearing capabilities.
- Versatility: They can be customized to various shapes and sizes, making them suitable for a wide range of architectural and engineering applications.
- Aesthetics: Space frames often have an aesthetically pleasing and futuristic appearance, making them popular for modern building designs.
- Large Span Capability: They excel in spanning long distances without the need for many internal supports, making them ideal for sports arenas and exhibition halls.
- Durability: Space frames are known for their durability and resistance to environmental factors like corrosion, making them suitable for outdoor structures.
- Modular Construction: They are assembled using modular components, which simplifies construction and allows for easy expansion or modification.
- Efficient Use of Materials: Space frames use materials efficiently, reducing waste and cost.
- Transparent Roofs: Space frames can incorporate transparent materials like glass or ETFE to create transparent roofs, allowing natural light into enclosed spaces.
- Structural Integrity: Their triangulated geometry provides excellent structural stability and even distribution of loads.
- The holes are well treated before painting in order for smooth assembly.
- The bold ball is made of 45# steel with diameter of 100mm to 300mm.
- Normally there are 3-12 holes in the bolt ball and each axial line of the bolt hole is through the center of the ball.
- Spheres are appropriately shaped, faceted, and threaded through a 5 degrees of freedom machining center.
- Cone is small components of space frame. Cone uses Q235 steel or 45# steel.
- Our cone products is well forged and with a nice smooth surface.
- The thicker material can provide strong load-bearing capacity.
- Rods are made by Q235/ Q355 steel tubes of circular section.
- Cones are welded to the rod ends.
- Welding is performed by an especially designed machinery.
