HIGH-TECH OVERSIZE DIE-CAST SKYLIGHTS,
SUN-SCREENS

HIGH-TECH SUN-SCREENS, regardless their orientation to
the
solar radiation, are machines of a rare complexity.

Their specific characteristic is the
shape which comes
from a deep study of
solids or geometrical textures
interacting in terms of
symmetry.

From shape, the objects must be processed in order to
assure a very strict predetermined
NATURAL LIGHTING.

Natural lighting can be
filtered, shadowed, layered,
diffused, directed, etc. in accordance with specific
requirements.

Very rarely the elements of a sun-screen can be
extruded or assembled, due to the complexity of the
cavities and wall shapes. Technically, the best
industrial process for this kind of production is the
High Pressure Die-Cast Injection.

Very sophisticated ultra-light car and motorcycle
engines are fabricated in this way.
Die-Cast injection allows a perfect quantity of melted
metal to
any part of the solid and this gives the
optimal surface and object's body, including the
extreme lightness.

The process assures no-imperfections, micro-fractures
and cracks and therefore the finished element responds
entirely to the previously calculated structural
requirements.

Fine Mechanical Engineering is then necessary for
joining together the die-cast elements in order to
provide the final panel fabricated
exactly to size and
shape
; geometry and thickness.
Hidden reinforcements, cast hinges and pins; rotating
connections are the
core mechanisms of sun-screens
systems which adapt to variable lay-outs, fit in large
surfaces by
cell-splitting and follow different shapes:
linear, curvilinear and multi-linear.

Our expert professionals are proudly preserving the
heritage of the
largest Die-Cast sun screen produced
and
engineered in the world: the Nasher Sculpture
Center
in Dallas, TX and the engineering of the
skylights die-cast options of the
Morgan Library in New
York, NY.
