From stainless steel edging to edged profiles made of aluminum or terminations made of cast resin: TRIPAN lightweight components meet the highest quality standards in every detail. Through the right choice of components, the composite materials show all their advantages.
For our lightweight components, there are numerous options for various lightweight edge designs, such as strip connections, profile wefts, skirt designs, edge angles or cast edge wefts. The TRIPAN edge designs can be both slip-on profiles and inserts made of a wide variety of materials such as wood, plastic or metals. The edge of the lightweight edge designs can, for example, be cast or closed by the edge of the cover layers. Another option is to incorporate stable inserts or molded tubes in the edge area. However, TRIPAN edge designs can also contain fasteners and retaining positions or simply be left open.
This edge finish is characterized by great flexibility in geometry. Various bending angles are possible, with the bending radius depending on the chosen sheet thickness of the facing material. This finish provides high stability and is often used in eaves, ridges, or connection flashing applications.
In this edge finish, the sheet is scored beforehand, creating sharp edges. These sharp-edged corners provide a particularly sophisticated design. The original surface remains intact even in the groove.
This edge finish can also be integrated afterward. A major advantage is the reinforcement of the edge zone by bonding the enclosure profile. This finish is often used in conjunction with facings made of fiber materials.
This edge finish is available in a variety of colors. Its significant advantage is not only improved stability but also its versatile application, as edge strips can also be used for rounded edge contours. Additionally, this finish can be retrofitted.
This finish offers customizable design options. A variety of materials can be used as inserts (in this case, aluminum). A significant advantage of this edge finish is the increased stability. Due to the solid material, large forces can be applied at specific points. The insertion position and geometry can be freely chosen.
This edge finish is particularly suitable for rounded edge contours. The edge casting creates a stable bond with the core material, granting it robust properties. A disadvantage of this finish is the limited color selection of the casting material. However, this can be remedied by painting, as the material is easy to coat.
By filling the core with adhesive, the stability is significantly increased, but this is only usable with specific core and facing structures. It is commonly used in conjunction with fiberglass or carbon facings in aerospace and mechanical engineering applications.
The open panel edge is the most cost-effective edge finish. This option is often used where panel edges connect to other components and therefore remain out of sight. In some applications, such as in art, it may even be desirable for design reasons to highlight the core material. It should be noted, however, that this finish is more susceptible to corrosion and is not ideal for use in humid environments.
It is also possible to integrate various custom profiles to perfectly suit your application. We are happy to assist you in integrating your custom profiles into the product.
