Aluminum Truss Frame

✔ What is truss frame?

A truss frame is an engineering structure used in construction to support and bear loads. It consists of a system of diagonal bars joined together at the points of intersection, forming a triangular lattice. Truss frames are usually made from lightweight materials such as steel, wood or aluminum alloys to reduce weight and increase load capacity.

✔ Application of truss frame in life

✓ Truss framework in the construction industry

Truss frames have many important applications in the construction industry. It is used for construction of buildings such as civil houses, industrial houses, bridges and roads, restaurants, stadiums, stage boxes and many others. Truss frames provide strength, durability, and stability to buildings, and allow for easy resizing and changing in size and shape depending on project requirements.

✔ Types of truss frame production materials

• Sắt thép: Khung truss làm bắt sắt thép là sự lựa chọn phổ biến nhất. Thép có độ bền cao, khả năng chịu tải tốt. Nó được sử dụng rộng rãi trong các ứng dụng công nghiệp và xây dựng lớn. Tuy nhiên sắt thường dễ bị ăn mòn nên dễ bị rỉ sét nên thường xuyên phải bảo trì bằng cách sơn lên bề mặt của khung bằng một lớp sơn chống rỉ.
• Khung truss gỗ: Gỗ là vật liệu tự nhiên, dễ dàng chế tạo và có tính năng cách nhiệt tốt. Khung truss gỗ thường được sử dụng trong các công trình nhà dân dụng và kiến trúc truyền thống.
• Aluminum Alloys: Aluminum alloys combine the advantages of both aluminum and other alloys such as zinc and magnesium. It offers high strength, hardness and corrosion resistance. Especially aluminum alloy is light in weight and does not oxidize. Non-corrosive should be used to replace iron and wood. Some specialized alloys for aluminum frames are T6061 and T6082 . These are 2 types of alloy with high hardness. Some aluminum frame production units with T6063 alloy are cheap, but the hardness is not as good as the two types of alloy above.

✓ Aluminum alloy T6061

Alloy T6061 is an aluminum alloy with Mg and Si with the highest corrosion resistance among aluminum alloys. Alloy T6061 offers a wide range of mechanical properties, hardening, strength, weldability, good formability.

✓ T6082 . aluminum alloy

Alloy T6082 is also an aluminum alloy with Mg and Si with good extrusion, forging, oxidation and corrosion resistance, which is loved by many customers. Alloy T6082 has higher quenching sensitivity and its composition contains Mn, so it has better corrosion resistance and welding performance.

✔ Names and uses of stage accessories

✓ Truss module (truss section)

The large aluminum truss frame is made up of many truss modules connected together in the form of 4 or 8 holes or connectors to form vertical columns or horizontal beams with the required length. Individual truss pieces are usually 1m, 2m, 3m or 4m in length.

Note: The length of each truss piece when assembled must not exceed the maximum aperture given by the manufacturer (The maximum aperture available depends on the type of truss frame for example aperture: 10m,12m, 16m,20m ...)

✓ Palang (framework accessories)

Palang is a device for lifting and lowering hanging objects from above, which is popularly applied in many types of works and certainly including the event industry. It helps to pull the truss frame on the roof of the stage, the canvas house up high. Many people also call Palang with some other names such as: Winch, pulley. Palang is divided into 2 types: electric hoist, chain hoist.

• Chain hoist (Hand winch)

Chain hoist makes lifting and lowering objects easier than ever, does not take too much effort, helps to reduce accidents during the installation of stage, canvas and saves costs. One end of the hoist is fixed to the speculum above the top of the truss post, the other end has an iron chain, with a large capacity. The pulley system helps pull the stage truss frame, the canvas roof slides up through the wheel sliding cage.

• Electric hoist

✓ Kickstand (stand)

The kickstand consists of 2 A-shaped struts connected to the truss. Just like the swingarm, the kickstand helps to fix the truss in a balanced position. The legs are often different lengths, depending on the terrain. The tip of the foot is connected to a shackle with increased teeth to catch on the truss frame system.

✓ Arm against LED screen (iron)

This is the accessory that comes with the truss frame that is very important in the installation of the stage LED screen. The arm will support the LED screen arrays from the back and help fix the LED screen to the frame.

✓ Speculum hanging palang

The speculum is an accessory used to form a hook point mounted on the top of the truss column, which is the hoisting point for pulling the truss frame up.

✓ Bearing shackles

The connecting shackle is an accessory used to flexibly connect the parts of the truss frame together, or of other mechanical parts.

✔ Compare aluminum truss frames and iron truss frames

✓ Aluminum truss frame

Aluminum truss frame is a truss frame made from aluminum alloy material. Aluminum alloy is a very important product line in all products manufactured from aluminum. The alloy of aluminum and aluminum ranks second after steel in terms of production and application in life. It can be seen that aluminum alloy has properties to be suitable for many different uses, especially used as a material in construction.

There are 2 types of aluminum alloy used by Viettruss to make aluminum truss frames:

T6061 Aluminum Alloy : the most durable and versatile aluminum alloy series. This aluminum alloy is a general purpose alloy with high strength, corrosion resistance and good weldability.

T6082 aluminum alloy : This alloy has good mechanical properties, is strong, hard, resistant to strong impact and has high wear resistance, can be welded and machined and shaped.

✓ Iron truss frame

Iron truss frame is a type of frame made from iron material. It has poorer thermal conductivity than aluminum and is more malleable than aluminum. Truss frames made from iron are much heavier than truss frames made from aluminum.

In terms of corrosion resistance, aluminum truss frames are better than iron. Especially with the changing seasons like in Vietnam, the iron truss frame is easily corroded when left in the air for a long time. Unlike iron, the truss frame is made from aluminum which is almost completely non-corrosive and retains its shine like new.

Aluminum truss frames meet all requirements for aesthetics, curvature, and weight, so it is understandable that aluminum truss frames are more commonly used in today's market.

✔ Introduction of Viettrusss frame factory

With the strong development of the entertainment technology industry, today people often choose aluminum alloy truss frames for the purpose of easy installation, dismantling and lightness when transporting. Aluminum truss frames are applied to many jobs in the event industry such as: Assembling space tents, outdoor lighting truss, installing exhibition booths, making stage lights. It wasn't that long ago around the 2010s when the show industry exploded into a worldwide entertainment industry. As more and more spectacular music concerts from abroad are held in Vietnam. At that time, the performance equipment was still incomplete. Most of the big sound and light companies in Vietnam can only meet about 30% of the requirements of the program implementing unit.

In 2012 and earlier, most truss frames for the stage were made of iron, so they did not guarantee safety and aesthetics. Truss frames are shipped from abroad to Vietnam at a very high cost, time and money. Seizing that opportunity, right from the early years of establishment, Hoang Sa Viet company sent personnel to research and learn the production of aluminum truss frames from many sources around the world.

After a period of learning experience, boldly invest in CNC machines and modern mechanical machines. We have completed Viettruss factory and put into operation the most professional aluminum alloy truss frame factory in Vietnam.

Viettruss factory with a scale of 6000m2 was completed and put into operation in 2019 with a production scale of over 5000m2 of stage, aluminum truss frame per month. Temporarily enough to meet the Vietnamese market on a small scale. Viettruss products are becoming more and more popular in the event market. Viettruss products are increasingly being used by event organizers, sound and light companies, and tents.
