0:00
and then you start hammering in the
0:02
connection we are producing connectors
0:08
housing this kind of uh double doveetail
0:12
connectors they substitute screws you
0:15
don't have metal in the connection this
0:18
sixfix connector is made out of birch
0:20
plywood if you have big sheets of CLT
0:23
ceilings one CLT plate still on the
0:26
building side and the crane lifts the
0:28
other one near it and then you always
0:31
have a gap normally you use wrenches to
0:34
pull the CLT slaps together with our
0:38
Xfix connector you just put it in the
0:41
second piece falls in stays out and then
0:44
you start hammering in the
0:49
connection until the second part of the
0:52
connector is plain with the surface and
0:56
what happened you saw it there is a
0:59
connection force pulling those pieces
1:02
together and this is what makes the XIX
1:05
connector a tool and a connector in one
1:07
you have no steel you have enormous
1:10
shear and tensile loads this size
1:14
connector has about 28 kilon newton in
1:17
shear and tensile load so it's very
1:19
heavy duty and substitutes 16 screws you
1:22
saw how fast it is and you can imagine
1:25
how many screws you need and how much is
1:28
the time for putting in those screws the
1:30
connector you saw before is this 90 mm
1:33
connector it's ideal for CLT starting
1:37
from 120 mm in thickness for smaller
1:41
inside walls from 100 mm we use the 65
1:44
mm connector for structures with CLT
1:49
panels with starting from 60 mm you have
1:53
the 45 mm and if you have really strong
1:57
CLT panels to connect we have the Golad
2:01
model with 130 mm for inside walls light
2:06
structures walls like this or light
2:09
ceiling structures with strong beams
2:11
panels like this one shown here like
2:14
Kerto you can use smaller size Xfix
2:17
models this model is the half the length
2:21
of this this is 130 this is only 65 mm
2:25
we have projects done with kerto pa 28 m
2:30
in length and only a 40 m mm kerto on
2:35
top as a ceiling and it was connected
2:38
with about thousand of those only 33 mm
2:43
long xfix mini connectors so it's going
2:47
in the direction not the full CLT
2:50
smaller lighter structures easier to
2:52
build less material less cost the newest
2:55
in our series is the Xfix medium
2:57
connector which is meant to connect CLT
3:02
as we saw it where you don't have the
3:04
heavy loads but it's easier to mill it's
3:08
smaller yeah so the milling is faster
3:11
you have less material so the connection
3:13
is more cost effective in this way what
3:16
we do is we try to combine different
3:20
materials coming from connecting CLT we
3:23
saw that many customers they use bow or
3:28
three ply structures like this or even
3:32
OSB fiber boards so the combination most
3:36
of the time comes from customers their
3:38
needs their questions and we try to
3:41
provide solutions for different
3:44
customers with different materials we
3:46
have a sample where you can see the
3:48
combination of different types CLT with
3:52
this magnum board structure from Swiss
3:54
chrono a combination of glue lam and CLT
3:59
this should be a window opening with the
4:02
connection you can design wall parts
4:04
wall elements without having the waste
4:08
so you have a reduction of of waste
4:11
material because you construct window
4:14
and door openings you can combine the
4:16
CLT panel with standing glue lamp beams
4:21
or you can combine the glue lamp beam
4:24
with structures like this KTO veneer
4:27
board i would like the listeners and
4:29
readers of raista dilemm would like this
4:31
product and feel free to contact me look
