Whether trying to support large-diameter piping or working offshore, you’ll face several challenges with constructing your frames. Putting them together and generating them is a significant challenge. However, alongside MEFA, our expert team at Pro Support Solutions offers the precise assistance, components, and tools you need to produce and build your complete framing solution. But how do you generate it? How do you make CENTUM? All the answers are in this article, so read until the end to learn how.

Why is it challenging to generate framing solutions, and what should you watch out for?

There are a couple of challenges you may face when generating framing solutions for your project. The first is ensuring that the frames have adequate support to prop up the processing system and mechanical components during shipment. The second involves ensuring that the modular systems’ fastening systems are robust. You’ve also got to ensure you have the correct elements to generate your framing solution. 

Why is the complete framing solution CENTUM easy to generate?

The complete framing solution, CENTUM, is easy to generate for various reasons. This modular system has the correct components to help you produce it. It also has strong, robust fastening systems contributing to the generation process.

Are there any tools that can help to generate the complete framing solution?

Yes, several other tools can help you generate the complete framing solution. Two examples of such tools include the CENTUM FixBOB and the serrated hammer locking head. Here’s more information on each of these.

What is the CENTUM FixBOB?

The CENTUM FixBOB is an adjustment aid engineers use to generate CENTUM with temporary, preliminary part fixes. It greatly facilitates the work of engineers who have chosen the CENTUM modular system. 

How does the CENTUM FixBOB help industrial plant engineers generate framing solutions?

While you decide how to generate and fix components to the CENTUM modular solution, a temporary fix is a perfect answer to hold things in place; this is what the FixBOB helps with. Industrial plant engineers can use this tool at any time of construction to keep profiles and components attached temporarily until they decide to join them permanently.

How can you use the CENTUM FixBOB to generate framing solutions?

To use the CENTUM FixBOB and generate the complete framing solutions, follow the steps below:

1. Insert the FixBOB into the selected component, push it through to the profile rail and use your hand to tighten the join with a screwing motion.
2. Align the component and the profile rail with minimal effort by loosening, re-aligning the part, and then re-tightening the FixBOB to hold the element in place.
3. Use the serrated hammer locking head tool to fix the component to the profile rail with a more permanent join. Tighten the serrated hammer locking head tool with a wrench.
4. Loosen the FixBOB and remove it from the profile rail and component.

What are the key advantages of the CENTUM FixBOB?

A few significant advantages of the CENTUM FixBOB include effortless assembly, special tool mitigation, and the option to tighten joins (and loosen them) with your hand. You can use it any time.

What is the serrated hammer locking head bolt?

The serrated hammer locking head bolt is a bolting system that works specifically with the CENTUM modular system. These tools help engineers to affix components to the profile rails and work with the FixBOB. However, unlike the FixBOB, the serrated hammer locking head bolt can produce permanent, final joins for your selected components. However, you can loosen this component and reuse the parts of the CENTUM frame.

How do you generate the CENTUM complete framing solution using the serrated hammer locking head bolt?

You can generate the CENTUM complete framing solution with the serrated hammer locking head bolt in just a few steps. Continue reading to learn how to produce it.

1.  Get the serrated hammer locking head bolt and insert it into a profile

Unscrew the hammer locking head bolt and insert the open end into the profile rail. Align the bolt, so its jutting part is centered in the profile rail’s gap.

2.  Partially tighten the nut of the serrated hammer locking head bolt

You can tighten the serrated hammer locking head tool’s nut with your hand or a wrench. Tighten it sufficiently so the bolt doesn’t move.

3.  Check the tolerance of the serrated hammer-locking head

Use the line on the hammer locking head bolt to check the tolerance. Ensure the bolt is correctly aligned with the profile rail.

4.  Fully tighten the serrated hammer locking head bolt

Join different profiles and secure each join by fully tightening the serrated hammer-locking head bolt. Use a wrench to tighten it completely.

How does the serrated hammer locking head component facilitate framing solutions?

The serrated hammer locking head component greatly facilitates the complete framing solution generation process with several advantages. The bolt has an alignment feature that helps you adjust and affix components accurately. It also has a 10kN permissible load for each connection. You’ll notice that these components meet the quality assurance specifications of the RAL quality marks body and use form-fitting mechanisms instead of force-fitting actions. This method increases the ease of joining components and tightening them sufficiently.
