    Posted in Fasteners manufacturers, Industry 4.0, Innovation on Jun 05, 2023

    fischer’s Power-Full II full-thread screw

    fischer-PowerFull-II_1.jpg

    The fischer Group of Companies is launching the latest generation of Power-Full II full-thread screws. These wood screws are ideal for permanently and securely connecting or reinforcing supporting wood constructions. They also offer the advantage of easy and efficient installation as an economical pro solution for challenging fastening requirements in timber construction. Main and secondary beam connections, false beam edges, shear tension bracings or shear connections - PowerFull II always proves to be the ideal choice whenever timber connections or reinforcements are subjected to particularly high requirements. The latest generation of fischer wood screws has a European Technical Assessment (ETA-21/0751) that already covers several updates and the state of the art of the future Eurocode 5 on the design and construction of timber structures. The new ETA of fischer’s full-thread screws is more user-friendly than the previous version, with significantly more comprehensive and structured content.

    Compared to its renowned predecessor, fischer has optimised its full-thread screw even further. For instance, as an alternative to the effective screw-in depth of the screw thread, this screw-in depth can be applied without considering the length of the screw tip by calculation, but with a significantly increased pullout parameter. This allows the pullout load capacity or tensile strength to be increased by up to 60%.

    Screw tip and thread geometry make installation easier

    One of the special features is the screw geometry developed by fischer. It significantly improves the pullout load capacity, while the higher thread pitch reduces the screw-in torque for simple and easy installation. Its unique core-milling geometry enables low edge and axial spacing and high loads without any pre-drilling. The special tip geometry makes it easy to place and insert while reducing the splitting behaviour in the base. The needlepoint even allows the screw to be placed and inserted with ease under extreme conditions such as slanted screw connections. The PowerFull II version with a cylinder head is ideal for wood on wood connections. Additional mill pockets allow the head to be neatly countersunk deep into the wood using a long bit. The countersunk head variant with mill pockets below the head is ideal for fastening steel parts to wood, preventing fixtures from being damaged by reaming.

    PowerFull II in a 10 mm diameter: Pre-drill effect included

    fischer offers the 10 mm-diameter PowerFull II for applications such as lateral pressure reinforcements on bearings, main and secondary beam connections, false beam edges or reinforcements on notched bearings. The screw’s geometry also differs between the available diameters of 6 and 8 mm. It has a drill tip that creates a pre-drilling effect without causing the long screws to slip, reducing the risk of splitting the wood and lowering the turning torque, for simple, quick and safe installation.

    Other highlights of fischer’s screw range

    fischer’s Power-Fast and Power-Full wood screws are suitable for almost any fixing task of carpenters, joiners and timber construction specialists. Different versions with various drives, heads, thread and material variants and sizes were specially designed to process wood in all its shapes and sizes, utilising the material to the fullest extent. Screw tips and thread geometries tailored to fastening projects make installation quicker and easier, allowing processing in soft and solid woods without pre-drilling in accordance with the ETA. This requires minimum time, effort and battery power. The ETA also regulates the alternative use of tangential impact screw drivers. The screws additionally enable gap-free and non-splintering installation close to the edge. fischer’s chipboard screw Power-Fast II can be used for all types of wood on wood and metal on wood connections as well as in fischer plastic plugs with verified loads. The new adjusting screw FAFS meanwhile is ideal for the infinitely adjustable installation of wood slats or frames on timber substructures. Safe designs with fischer WOOD-FIX

    The WOOD-FIX module in fischer’s free FiXperience design software allows planners and processors to create and print verifiable proof for any applications and projects with PowerFull II and other fischer screws. In addition to its simple and intuitive interface, the programme offers a clear 2D or 3D display as well as automatic error recognition if incorrect geometric limiting conditions are entered. The designs are carried out in accordance with the European Technical Assessment (ETA) or DIN EN 1995-1-1 (Eurocode EC5), including a free choice of national application documents (NAD).

  • fischer launches a world first in construction monitoring

    Posted in Fasteners manufacturers, Industry 4.0, Innovation, Sustainability on Nov 22, 2022

    Intelligent safety monitoring

    fischer is the world’s first company in fastening technology to offer an intelligent and integrated monitoring solution for constructions and facilities. The solution increases the overall flow of information, service life, sustainability and safety of constructions and facilities while ensuring higher maintenance efficiency.

    The sensor-integrated fixing products SensorAnchor and SensorDisc provide users with a time and resource-saving method to identify current acting forces in fastenings. The products transfer the wireless data to the Construction Monitoring module of the myfischer portal, allowing the information to be accessed via web applications on a tablet, PC or laptop or on a smartphone with the construction site-friendly fischer PRO ap.

    Secure connections, intelligent interconnection Thanks to intelligent force monitoring of fastenings, threshold violations and problems can be identified early on in order to take measures, significantly increasing the level of safety. The flow of information reduces the level of complexity, increasing the efficiency of maintaining constructions and facilities. Maintenance intervals are either extended or avoided entirely. The service life of constructions and facilities is extended, which simultaneously increases sustainability.

    SensorAnchor: Monitor forces from a distance A secure anchorage must be guaranteed for countless applications, including rollercoaster support legs, scaffolds and other steel structures, industrial robots anchored to the floor or suspended ventilation systems and other installations in tunnel construction. Additional applications include noise barriers, climbing formwork on high-rise constructions, seismic bracing, high-voltage power line fixings and much more. fischer’s new SensorAnchor enables the permanent and intelligent monitoring of the absolute values of a fixing’s preload and operational forces.

    The product consists of an anchor rod with an integrated sensor that allows forces to be measured directly in the fastening (flux). In order to read the measured values, the SensorAnchor is continuously connected to the battery or mains-powered SensorGateway, which transfers the encrypted data to the fischer cloud in a defined cycle through a wireless standard developed specifically for the Internet of Things (NB-IoT).

    Preload and operational forces are continuously monitored in real time and sent to the Construction Monitoring software application. In order to read the current measurement, the SensorGateway that requires checking is simply accessed via the app before the connected anchor is selected. If the defined force exceeds or falls below the threshold values, a push notification is immediately sent to the smartphone or browser.

    The SensorAnchor is made of highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel and is available in all sizes of M16 and above. Up to four anchors can be monitored per gateway. IP67 protection for the electronics in addition to the shock and impact-resistant Gateway housing provide additional safety during construction and industrial applications.

    SensorDisc: Scan forces with a smartphone In addition to the SensorAnchor, fischer is also launching its SensorDisc, a washer for the long-term monitoring of preload force levels of standard screw connections. The measurement is provided at the time of the reading. In order to enable monitoring, the product made of highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel is equipped with a measurement and readout sensor as well as an antenna. No additional hardware is required. The measured value is the preload level percentage in relation to the installation state.

    Data is transferred using contactless technology and can be accessed via the fischer PRO app using a standard smartphone. The SensorDisc can be used for years thanks to its battery-free, fully passive electronics. Energy is generated via the electric field produced by the reading device and is used to supply the system. If the SensorDisc is touched with a smartphone, this transfers the energy field to the disc, which is then used to measure the current force in the screw connection and report the measured value back to the mobile device. In order to see the remaining percentage of the original preload force, the SensorDisc simply has to be selected and scanned using the PRO app. The disc only needs to be tapped with a standard smartphone to be scanned and can be repeatedly loosened, disassembled and reused in another location.

    The washer is available in sizes M16 and above with no upper limit. SensorDisc applications include wind turbines, crane runways, concrete formwork and flange joints on pipe systems, such as on process engineering or petrochemical production plants.

  • Innovative anchoring intelligence fischer launches DuoXpand frame fixing

    Posted in Fasteners manufacturers, Industry 4.0, Innovation on Feb 02, 2022

    The fixing specialist fischer is launching its new DuoXpand frame fixing on the market. The ingenious combination of materials and design as well as various anchoring depths that suit the respective anchor substrate guarantee a secure and flexible application in solid and hollow construction materials. In addition to a hexagon head, the plug is also available with a countersunk head screw, making it suitable for various metal and timber applications.

    The fastening expert fischer is presenting the newcomer to its successful fischer DuoLine with the new DuoXpand frame fixing. The product family now consists of five intelligent plugs with an innovative combination of materials. With its latest addition, the DuoLine now covers multiple applications and construction materials. The ingenious combination of materials and design guarantees a particularly firm bite in all anchor substrates.

    The special lamella geometry gently expands in the respective construction material while the intelligent design guarantees even load distribution in solid building materials. In perforated brick, the lamellae expand along the stone fillet and form an undercut in the cavities. Thanks to its gentle force transmission even in porous construction materials, fractures are avoided and anchorages can be placed close to edges without issue. Made of high-quality nylon, the grey main body offers a strong hold while the red material component ensures flexibility and optimal expansion. The European Technical Assessment (ETA) for multiple use for non-structural systems certifies its secure hold in all building material classes. The expansion element with two anchoring depths increases flexibility with 50 mm in concrete, solid and hollow construction materials and 70 mm in all building material classes, from concrete to aerated concrete. Two additional anchoring depths of 140 and 160 mm expand the range of applications to hollow construction materials with large cavities.

    DuoXpand is available with a countersunk head screw and a conical shaped plug rim, variants which are particularly suitable for timber construction fastenings. The additional DuoXpand FUS versions with hexagon screws and moulded washers also allow a diverse range of metal construction applications, during which the wide plug rim avoids contact corrosion between the fixture and screw for a permanent, secure fixing. The respective version with a countersunk head or a hexagon screw can be used to carry out facade, ceiling and roof substructures made of wood and metal. The frame fixing’s wide range of applications also includes windows, gates and doors, wardrobes, kitchen cupboards, joists, beams, TV units, wall claddings, metal brackets and much more.

    The product is simple and easy to use: Simply position the fixture with the DuoXpand using the push-through installation method, tighten with the screw, and done. The object is now permanently and safely anchored. The pre-mounted safety screw is perfectly suited to the plug and saves time during installation. At market launch, the DuoXpand is available in countersunk head and hexagon screw variants in diameters of 8 and 10 and plug lengths of 80 to 120 mm (diameter 8) and 80 to 230 mm (diameter 10).

  • FISCHER: All-in-one systems for multifunctional façades

    Posted in Fastener distribution, Industry 4.0 on Jul 07, 2021

    The fischer façade systems business unit of the fischer Group of Companies offers innovative and high-quality all-in-one solutions for the secure and aesthetic installation of rear-ventilated façades. The company also offers a wide range of services, as the fischer specialists support plan-ners and façade builders with consultation and calculation services from the briefing and installation stage across all construction phases until the project’s successful comple-tion.

    Building envelopes must meet ever growing requirements. Rear-ventilated façades meanwhile have to fulfil increasingly complex requirements in terms of sustainability, safety, protec-tion, air conditioning and a distinguished appearance. fischer fa-çade systems guarantee a positive ecological balance through high energy savings and a consistent circular flow economy, a long service life plus the advantage of creative freedom.

    Creative freedom and functionality

    The visible or concealed fischer fastenings are suitable for all standard cladding materials for rear-ventilated façades and fulfil every aesthetic requirement. The modern façade technology also provides a healthy indoor climate, as rear-ventilated rooms constantly dissipate the moisture from the structure and living spaces. The fischer façade systems provide additional benefits such as simple, easy and fast installation, low maintenance requirements, a long service life, effective protection against weather conditions and high energy efficiency. In addition to a permanent and secure hold and efficient thermal insulation, the functional and technical advantages also include the option to install a fireproof barrier and non-flammable insulating material, integrated lightning protection through a conductive substruc-ture as well as improved soundproofing.

    A wide range of substructure solutions

    Fischer’s all-in-one system of compatible products with tested and approved individual components includes a comprehensive range of substructure solutions. With the acquisition of BWM Fassadensysteme GmbH from Leinfelden-Echterdingen in 2018, the portfolio of the fischer Group of Companies expanded considerably. fischer now offers various substructures to fasten rear-ventilated façades from a single source. The solutions range from visible fastenings for lightweight panels using rivets or drilling screws to hook solutions for façade cassettes as well as aesthetically appealing concealed fastenings with the fischer Zykon panel anchors FZP II. The comprehensive range for alu-minium supporting structures features systems that enable ex-tensive prefabrication, simple application and fast installation. These also include substructure solutions that have been spe-cially tailored to the problem areas of rear-ventilated structures, such as variable systems and systems with thermal isolation to the benefit of improved energy efficiency and sustainability. The ATK 601 stand-off anchor construction fulfils high requirements for fully pre-insulated façades or for the renovation of ETICS systems with rear-ventilated façades and ZeLa brackets. Both supporting structures have been declared “certified passive house components” by the independent Passivhaus Institute certification body. The certificate contains all parameters (punc-tual thermal transmission coefficients) and documents the unique position of the supporting structures compared to conventional wall constructions available on the market. The ATK 601 and the ZeLa bracket provide added benefits with their high planning reliability and broad range of applications.

    The right solution for any fastening application

    The façade panels can be visibly fastened using rivets or drilling screws, while ceramic tiles can be fastened with brackets. An-gled metal cassettes can be attached to the façade with bolt suspensions. The fischer undercut anchors provide a form-fit fastening without expansion pressure in the conical undercut drill hole and are concealed when viewed from the building’s exterior. The undercut anchor system is completed by the well-engineered and compatible drilling and installation technology as well as additional accessories. Thanks to its broad range of undercut anchors, fischer is able to attach almost any type of cladding material to the façade. It is therefore possible to use façade panels made out of natural stone from a thickness of 20 mm, single-pane and laminated safety glass from a glass thick-ness of 8 mm, as well as ceramic tiles, fibre cement and HPL plates from a thickness of 8 mm. Individual panels or even all panels can subsequently be exchanged with ease through the use of hook-on profiles. Even reveal panels can be fastened easily and with a high degree of flexibility. The varied panel thicknesses can be compensated through the use of stand-off anchor types. This method also allows the realisation of an ele-ment façade as well as factory prefabrication. The long-established technology of the fischer undercut an-chors enables the bending stress of the panel to be reduced by up to 50 per cent compared to standard edge fixings (mandrel, kerf cut and/or plug mandrel fixings or bracket solutions) through the statically adjustable position of the anchor in the 1/5 point on the reverse of the panel. This achieves lower slab bending moments and higher load-bearing capacities and allows more freedom during planning and execution, while better use can be made of the respective technical material properties. The opti-mised static system and increased breakout forces allow larger-sized panels of the same thickness to be used in comparison to edge fastenings. Thinner and therefore lighter panels can also be used, which are economical to purchase and transport, thereby making installation easier. The fischer façade systems business unit works in close prox-imity to markets and customers, subsidiaries and local partners across the globe. SystemTec and BWM façade systems offer compatible solutions and all-in-one systems for a market seg-ment of the future.

    Fischer all-in-one systems for rear-ventilated façades include compat-ible products with tested and approved individual components and a comprehensive range of substructure solutions.
