Tension-Riveted Aluminum Swing Stage Technology

When welding an aluminum structure, one must reduce the capacity of the welded members due to inherent brittleness of the material caused by welding. We created a tension riveted structure, it was lightweight and very robust. You can see this stage system used on the Gantry and the Window Washing Equipment.
