INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Connection Points

Connection points are precision-engineered interfaces on seating module frames that enable secure attachment to other structural components.

Component Specifications

Definition
Connection points are critical structural interfaces designed into seating module frames to facilitate reliable mechanical joining with adjacent modules, support structures, or mounting hardware. These engineered features ensure proper alignment, load transfer, and structural integrity while allowing for assembly/disassembly during manufacturing, maintenance, or reconfiguration.
Working Principle
Connection points function by providing precisely machined or formed interfaces (holes, slots, tabs, or mating surfaces) that align with corresponding features on connecting components. They distribute mechanical loads through designed contact areas, often incorporating features like pilot holes, alignment guides, or interlocking geometries to ensure proper positioning and secure fastening using bolts, pins, clips, or welding.
Materials
Typically manufactured from structural steel (ASTM A36/A572), aluminum alloys (6061-T6/7075-T6), or engineered polymers (glass-filled nylon/polycarbonate) depending on load requirements, corrosion resistance needs, and weight considerations. Surface treatments may include zinc plating, powder coating, or anodizing.
