The Centro 3 is an innovative modular display system designed for showcasing graphics with a modern aesthetic. It is available in two configurations: one with spacer bars and another without, offering flexibility in display setup and visual presentation.
Function Description:
The primary function of the Centro 3 display system is to provide a robust and visually appealing framework for exhibiting large-format graphic panels. Its modular design allows for easy assembly and disassembly, making it suitable for various applications such as trade shows, retail environments, exhibitions, and promotional events. The system is designed to securely hold graphic panels, ensuring a professional and polished presentation. The inclusion of spacer bars in one configuration allows for a specific aesthetic and potentially different graphic mounting options, while the "no spacer bars" configuration offers a more streamlined look.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Graphic Dimensions: The standard graphic dimensions for the Centro 3 system are 1990mm (height) x 750mm (width) x 3 panels. This indicates that the system is designed to accommodate three vertical graphic panels, each with a height of 1990mm and a width of 750mm.
- Material: The system features "neon acrylic features," suggesting the use of acrylic components, possibly for decorative elements or specific structural parts, contributing to its contemporary look. The main structural components appear to be made of a metallic material, likely aluminum, given the typical construction of such display systems, offering durability and a lightweight profile.
- Assembly Mechanism: The system utilizes grub screws for securing connections between posts, spacer bars, and graphic rails. This screw-based fastening ensures a secure and stable assembly. Internal clamps are also used in the "no spacer bars" configuration for connecting horizontal rails.
- Post Design: The posts feature an "8-way post end cap" with two notches, designed to align with connector bar grooves, facilitating precise and secure connections.
Usage Features:
Configuration with Spacer Bars:
- Base Setup: The assembly begins by placing the base on the ground. Grub screws on the connector bars are loosened, and the bars are slid halfway out of their grooves before being retightened. This process is repeated for all base posts. Base plates are pre-assembled on kits supplied in a carry bag.
- Post Connection: The upper 8-way post end cap, with its two notches, is aligned with the connector bar grooves. Posts are joined, and grub screws are tightened to secure the assembly. This step is repeated for all posts.
- Spacer Bar Installation: Spacer bars are slotted into the assembled posts, approximately 150mm from the top and base. Grub screws are tightened to lock them into place.
- Vertical Graphic Rail Assembly: Side straight vertical graphic rails are assembled. The position of the graphic fixing strips on these rails should align correctly.
- Vertical Rail Attachment to Spacer Bars: Vertical rails are slotted onto the spacer bars, leaving space at the bottom for the horizontal graphic rail. Grub screws are tightened to secure them. A key detail is that the single strip line on the vertical rails should be on the edge closest to the post when viewed from the front.
- First Horizontal Rail Connection: The first set of horizontal rails is connected to the vertical rails, and grub screws are tightened. The height of the vertical rails may need adjustment to ensure the overall assembly is square.
- Second Horizontal Rail Connection: The second set of horizontal rails is slotted onto all vertical rails, and grub screws are tightened to secure them.
- Graphic Panel Affixing: Graphic panels are affixed to the graphic fixing strips. This process starts from the top and side, working across the completed system.
Configuration without Spacer Bars:
- Base Setup: Similar to the spacer bar configuration, the base is placed on the ground. Grub screws on the connector bars are loosened, and the bars are slid halfway out of their grooves before being retightened for all base posts. Base plates are pre-assembled on kits supplied in a carry bag.
- Post Connection: The upper 8-way post end cap, with its two notches, is aligned with the connector bar grooves. Posts are joined, and grub screws are tightened to secure the assembly. This step is repeated for all posts.
- Internal Clamp Preparation: Four internal clamps are removed from the spacer bars (if they were present or provided as part of a universal kit) by removing a grub screw and sliding them out.
- Internal Clamp Insertion into Horizontal Rails: Internal clamps are inserted into both ends of the 750mm horizontal rails. Grub screws are inserted and tightened, but not fully at this stage.
- First Horizontal Rail Connection to Posts: The first set of horizontal rails is connected at the bottom of the posts, ensuring a 10mm gap between the underside of the rail and the surface of the base plate. Clamp screws are tightened to secure them in place.
- Vertical Graphic Rail Assembly: Side straight 950mm graphic rails are assembled. The position of the graphic fixing strips on these rails should align correctly.
- Vertical Rail Connection to Bottom Horizontal Rail: Assembled vertical rails are connected to the bottom horizontal rail. The single strip line on the vertical rails should be on the edge closest to the post when viewed from the front.
- Second Horizontal Rail Connection: The second set of horizontal rails is slotted onto all vertical rails, and clamps are fitted into the 8-way post. Clamp screws are tightened to secure the assembly.
- Graphic Panel Affixing: Graphic panels are affixed to the graphic fixing strips. This process starts from the top and side, working across the completed system.
Maintenance Features:
- Grub Screw System: The reliance on grub screws for assembly implies that connections can be easily tightened or loosened for maintenance, adjustments, or disassembly. This allows for easy replacement of parts if needed.
- Modular Design: The modular nature of the Centro 3 means that individual components can be replaced if damaged, rather than requiring the replacement of the entire system.
- Portability: The mention of base plates being pre-assembled on kits supplied in a carry bag suggests that the system is designed for easy transport and storage, which inherently contributes to its longevity by protecting components during transit.
- Cleaning: The materials used, such as metallic components and potentially acrylic, are generally easy to clean with standard non-abrasive cleaning agents, helping to maintain the system's aesthetic appeal over time.
