Control room furniture manufacturer Thinking Space Systems has designed and launched an aluminium build structure, the Core Assembly System, which will now form the backbone of all their technical furniture.
The new aluminium extrusion range, developed in-house, replaces the TSS aluminium created by Thinking Space’s Managing Director Wayne Palmer, some ten years ago when the company was formed. According to the manufacturer, the new product allows for flexibility when designing bespoke solutions.
The makers say that the new extrusions are larger and up to 50 per cent heavier, offering greater strength and support. In fact, it will offer such stability that furniture will be able to support the weight of one or two humans, the firm adds.
Wayne Palmer said: “One of the key requirements in the development of our new build system was to improve both longitudinal and torsion properties by creating more complex extrusions. The result being that it should easily bear the weight of a human walking across a console, which I have proven.”
With a larger selection of profiles, the customer has more choices of finished shapes. Some of the profiles are designed for specific purposes, so that they are designed for their application. Elegant profiles give an even more aesthetically pleasing finish, with furniture looking modern and sleek, with clean lines, the makers say.
With new easy to fit connectors, assembly time is reduced. Consoles can be sent to site for the client to assemble using just four tools, supplied with each console.
Wayne Palmer said: “The Core Assembly System can be connected to Novus, Kanya and the current Evolution ranges, making it the “core” centre of development for all Thinking Space products. This gives our clients a wealth of possibilities and options for their technical furniture requirements.”
Since the system’s launch into production in early 2013, Thinking Space has already completed a number of control room projects. One involved the design and installation of consoles for York Travel and Control Centre (YTCC), pictured.
