Years of development
Rosette has worked for years to develop a CAD-controlled, integrated
light gauge steel building component manufacturing line. The
resulting Rosette production system offers a new generation of
benefits and solutions. It has a remarkably small footprint, leaving
you with ample savings in real estate, and thus securing a feasible
total investment.
required to assemble any custom-designed component configuration.
No members or items need to be kept in inventory. This means
that you can dramatically reduce the size of your processing areas.
Therefore, you save both in the initial combined investment, and
also in continued operating expenses.
Direct CAD-control
A directly CAD-controlled process has never been quite so accurately
put to work as it has been here. The Rosette Line is paperless:
computers do the walking and talking, leaving only small snap-on
assembly tasks and supervision to be performed by operators. CADcontrol also means high precision products, and especially so in this
case, because all the machinery components are made by the leading
tool manufacturers of the world.
High value-add for less
One of the leading ideas behind the Rosette System is the integrated
conversion of relatively inexpensive strip coil steel into highly
detailed wall frame panels and roof trusses. Automation makes this
commodity approach possible and keeps your costs of customized
production very competitive. In operating the Rosette System, you
pay 40 percent per pound for the raw material compared to your
competition. In addition, Rosette offers many important details
and capabilities to build added value into the frame components
at a fraction of the cost of alternative solutions.
Simple mechanics
Connecting light gauge steel members has never been this simple.
The Rosette connection is created from the two sheet materials to
be connected without any need for additional bought-in items.
Pressing of the connection takes only a fraction of a second and
requires only a vertical move of the Rosette tool; this simplicity in
turn makes possible the automation of the customized frame panel
fabrication.
JIT manufacturing
Rosette automation also means that you can modify the production
schedule at will and offer the flexibility to keep your customer
happy. This is more than ordinary Just-In-Time; Rosette fabrication
line produces all the members from a narrow strip in the sequence
Mechanized material handling
Additional savings in operator resources and labor costs have been
achieved by mechanizing material handling. Fast-cycle production
and expedited order turnaround are now possible.
Specific Details From:
www.fusatech.com
www.rosettesystems.com
Creating the Rosette connection
The Rosette connection is produced in three steps. First, a hole
is made in the first member and a collared hole is extruded in the
other member while the material is still at the flat stage. The
second step takes place at the assembly station where the two
members that are to be connected are snap-on joined. The snapon assembly is done by the operators. The third phase is the final
pressing of the connection at the Rosette Press. Here the proprietary
Rosette tool in a single, vertical move penetrates the snap-on
assembled hole connection and folds the extruded collar flat around
the hole.
Strongest connector in the industry
The Rosette connection, once formed, is equal in strength to six
to eight sheet metal screws. In most panel points there is a pair
of Rosette connectors. The connection can be additionally
strengthened by using Rosette Tube Bolts in high stress panel
points, for example, in double scissor, wide span roof trusses.
Versatility of the connection
A Rosette connection can be designed to be placed anywhere on
the plane of the component. The Rosette tool is automatically
directed to the x/y coordinates of the connection and a simple
vertical move of the tool will finish the strong connector. Any
wall configuration can now be produced, not only rectangular but
also rake walls, and the very same connector works for two kinds
of Rosette roof trusses and open-web structures as well.
Feasibility to serve
Rosette capabilities to build added value into the frame
components with a fraction of the cost is important in
competing to serve the builder customers. First of all, a
complete frame package can be manufactured using the
same Rosette production technology. In addition, the
wall frame panels have drop-down open-web headers,
diagonal and lateral bracing can be detailed and fabricated
into the structures; even fixture fixing plates can be
automatically produced.
Precision results
The precision of the process and the high quality of steel as the
frame material produce building components which are easy and
fast to install at the building site. All the Rosette detailing
is done at in-line sheet metal machine centers. This
will secure consistent industrial quality in member
cuttings and detailing.
Low cost superior solution
Cheap and good quality does not normally
come in the same package. With Rosette
connector, however, the same package is
even better. The Rosette connection is
made using the two sheet materials to
be connected without any need for additional bought-in items. The Rosette
connector does not cost a penny –
and it is the best in the industry.
The Rosette Site Installation of components
has been an important part of research and
development. As time has gone by, the Rosette
Tube Bolt, specifically developed for the purpose of joining Rosette frame components
together, has grown into a product family of
its own. It has generated revolutionary new
ideas on how to make the site installation
safer and faster, with lesser resources, and
producing a superior Rosette light gauge steel
frame structure.
The Rosette Tube Bolt
The original goal in designing the Rosette
Tube Bolt was to have a simple way of fixing
together frame components, even in difficult
conditions at the building site. The Tube Bolt
has a thread designed to twist into the Rosette
connector hole. It is an easy task to fix these
bolts, and the installers can keep their gloves
on the whole time. The Tube Bolt is again
a solution in correct scale and size; it is
the Rosette solution designed with
lots of experience in site
installations.
The Rosette Brackets and Other Nice Ideas
Put together a bracket and two Rosette Tube
Bolts, and a strong connection is made between
Rosette frame components in no time. A
girder truss can be assembled by fixing two
trusses face to face together using a #3 Rosette
Tube Bolt driven trough Rosette connector
holes – for others a difficult task, a simple
one for the Rosette builder. The original
Rosette Tube Bolt idea was explored further
and male-female ended Rosette Tube Bolts
can now be used in precision-installing
symmetrical Rosette roof trusses. A continuous
tube is formed next to the ridge line running
through Rosette connectors. At the same time,
a strong temporary and/or permanent lateral
bracing of roof structure is formed.
Easy and fast installation
The Rosette Steel Frame Technology is a
complete solution package aiming at easy and
fast installation of a light gauge steel superstructures at the building site. The directCAD-control system has measured parts and
members, and precision sheet metal work
stations have fabricated all the details. Relatively few connection points, Rosette connection holes, and suitable brackets need to be
identified at the site, and Rosette Tube Bolts
twisted into identified holes. “Simple system”
means easy to learn, “strong” means few connectors needed, “few” means fast to install
and less resources required; and the combination is called the winning Rosette System.
Thermal efficiency
Steel as a frame material has some disadvantages compared with wood in thermal conductivity. But we offer a no direct cost solution
for this. The slit web thermal stud technology
effectively cuts the cold bridge. Originally an
American invention, it has been nurtured in
Scandinavia, and is now a well tested and
established solution even for cold climate steel
construction.
New Generation solution for Business Success
Buying the new-generation Rosette System
means buying into the future of light gauge
steel construction. By becoming a Rosette
License Manufacturer, you will position your
business for success.
