Guaranteed quality with INDEX
29 March 2017
INDEX Fixing Systems manufactures and controls the production process for a wide range of its products, helping to guarantee maximum quality and an optimum service.
Fully committed to high-quality standards, INDEX Fixing Systems has an extensive list of products with assessments and certifications that meet the exacting requirements of leading authoritative bodies.
A key range is INDEX Fixing Systems’ MT-Anchor family, which is characterised by having an expansive clip. While applying torque to the anchor, the clip expands due to the cone shape of the bolt, creating high pressure on the inner side of the hole, which creates the necessary friction between the clip and the base material.
INDEX Fixing Systems also has a range of concrete screw anchors, TH, with silver ruspert coating. The main advantage of these metal anchors is that they do not introduce stress into the base material, due to low distances required between the anchors or the edge. Also, they can be used in cracked and non-cracked concrete; can be used from medium to high loads; and installation – the same for uninstallation – is quick and easy.
Another important range for INDEX Fixing Systems is its wide selection of chemical anchors. In various modalities for different base materials, including all cracked, non-cracked, reinforced concrete and brick. These anchors are suitable for heavy high loads, to absorb vibrations, and the distance between the edge of the material and anchors can be smaller because the chemical anchors do not generate as much pressure inside the material.
As for the application of all these products, the company offers calculation software named INDEXcal. For use, the user enters the configuration and size of the anchor place, anchor distribution, implemented actions, edge distances, type and strength of the base material, distribution of reinforcement in concrete, edge distances between anchors, as well as temperature and condition of the drill (in case of chemical anchors).
The new version enables installation design with non-regular anchor plates and includes irregular anchor distribution – helping to generate quick distribution anchorages and side load possibilities applying to the axes of symmetry of the anchor plate. With more power in solution filtering due to a wider and intuitive menu, users can also obtain plate configuration with regular anchor distribution – matrix, circular or triangular.
