RODAN Tie System

Tie system

The RODAN tie system is


often used for lightweight con-
structions and in the creation
of aesthetically attractive sup-
port structures.

The high standard of quality


achieved through the use of
the very latest cast materials,
shaping processes and opti-
mised volume utilisation has
resulted in a component series
offering outstanding design
and functional capabilities.

With the RODAN tie system,


it is possible to create light-
weight constructions of an
elegance previously unknown.
Despite their small cross
sections, the components are
capable of bridging very large
spans. The structural systems
produced offer a unique intri-
cacy of appearance that is
bound to fascinate.

RODAN Braced Glass Panels

Combinations of glass clamp fittings and tie rods

Point-supported, braced glass panels

Transparent glass constructions can be found these days in


virtually every area of modern and contemporary architecture.
Particularly in the case of large-area, vertical glazing systems
such as in façades, the objective is to achieve a maximum of
transparency combined with a minimum of cost. This re-
quires suitable and efficient glass construction systems.

In the special applications involving horizontal and inclined


overhead glazing systems (e.g. canopy roofs), the system of
bottom-trussing the glass panels increases their residual
load-bearing capacity. It also improves the residual stability
of the (laminated safety) glass panel in the event of glass
fracture as this will remain supported by the system-integrat-
ed, stable tie rod bottom-trussing arrangement.

Before fixing and assembly of the DORMA LOOP, the spatial
(3D) axes of all fixing positions must be measured and
aligned in accordance with the installation drawing. All dis-
tances must lie within a tolerance range of ± 3 mm. All sig-
nificant system axes must be perpendicular to one another
within a range of ± 1.5°.
All axis measurements must be checked using appropriate
tools.

Assembly tooling required:
