The fischer ACT System opens up the way for effortless and cost-efficient design of attractive, complex façades. The reason lies in the system itself - FZP II, the fischer zykon panel anchor, which is undercut and therefore stress-free fixing system that is installed into pre-drilled undercut hole.
This technology offers several times higher ultimate loads than conventional fixings. Because anchor positioning can be optimised, the bending moment within the panel is reduced by about 50% when compared to traditional systems.
This allows reduced panel thickness and larger panel sizes. In addition, the varied panel thickness can be compensated by the use of stand-off anchor types.
ACT System technology perfectly combines the use of panel anchors, individual substructures and sophisticated drilling technology. This pays off on the construction site, where installation is fast and simple, non-dependent on weather conditions. Construction time is reduced – and so are costs.
System one
SystemOne, fischer’s framework substructure is an integral part of fischer Facade Systems technology. It is designed for high loads, for large-size, heavy natural stone panels, and for bridging non-bearing structural elements. SystemOne reduces on-site installation times and noise through versatility and ease of replacing panels, for example; during renovation, etc.
Cost-effective and standards-compliant: fischer reveal angle bracket for mechanical fixing of reveal panels on the SystemOne substructure.
System one light
SystemOne light is an efficient solution when it comes to installing ventilated cladding made of lightweight facade panels. As you would expect, this rail-based system also offers all the advantages that make SystemOne unique:
Glass point fixing with undercut
fischer Facade Systems' drilling technique, same as our undercut anchor and substructure, is state of the art technology. The appliances for drilling undercut holes are essential parts of the overall system, which consists of drilled hole and anchor.
For drilling, fischer offers in-house developed machines in various sizes ranging from portable machines for onsite use through to large-scale, serial production facilities. These machines allow fast and cost-effective drilling of holes thanks to diamond tipped drilling tools. Setting appliances are then used to fit the anchors into the panels. Fitting specialists at the fischer's Competence Centre offer a comprehensive range of services in connection with drilling and setting:
The "Deutsche Institut für Bautechnik" [German Institute for Building Technology] (DIBt) in Berlin has issued a general approval for the fischer Zykon point fitting (FZP-G). The revolutionary development is state of the art and can now be used without consent in individual cases for sophisticated glass facades. By using undercut technology, our company has succeeded in creating the first point fitting for glass in the world in which the hole does not penetrate the glass.
The FZP-G-Z involves an undercut point fitting made from stainless steel. It consists of a cone bolt, expansion sleeve, plastic cap, shim washer and retaining nut. The smooth outside of the glass facade offers the architects a broader design field and at the same time reducing the cleaning requirements and susceptibility of soiling.
The fischer FZP-G-Z is offered in two variations for glazing with toughened safety glass (ESG or ESG-H) and laminated safety glass (VSG). The glass panes can be enamelled or coated and can also serve as substrates for solar elements that are laminated.
