Concept, importance and selection of LED screen truss
LED Screen Truss is one of the essential components to build LED display. If you don’t know much about LED screen truss, then let’s learn about it together.
The concept of LED Screen Truss
LED Screen Truss can support and fix the LED display, so that the LED display can be stable and safe for us to bring us wonderful images.
LED Screen Truss will be designed according to the different environments and customer’s needs, which can bring the audience a comfortable viewing experience, and at the same time, avoid the LED display tilted or collapsed due to the structural design of the LED screen truss.
Importance of LED Screen Truss
Safety and Structural Integrity
Any LED display requires the construction of an LED screen truss. A complete LED display usually requires many LED cabinets to be spliced together.
In order to ensure that the LED display is safer in use, we must make an adjustment to its structural integrity, which includes the quality control of the LED screen truss.
Control the quality of the LED screen truss, can make the whole LED display more uniform force, eliminating the collapse of the accident.
At the same time, high-quality LED Screen Truss are able to withstand the harsh effects of external factors, such as: stormy weather, high temperature, etc., and can effectively reduce the impact of external factors on the LED display.
If the structural integrity of the LED Screen Truss is not very high, then it will create safety hazards. This kind of LED screen truss is likely to collapse over time and cause damage to the surrounding environment, endangering the lives of the surrounding people.
Screen Protection and Lifespan
A good quality LED Screen Truss can protect the LED display to a certain extent and prolong the service life of the LED display.
Because the role of LED Screen Truss is to fix and protect the whole LED display, therefore prioritize the LED Screen Truss with good durability and stability, which can prolong the life of the whole LED screen well.
Efficient construction
In terms of efficiently constructing the screen, LED Screen Truss is modular in nature, which can be easily handled, installed and dismantled by professionals, thus shortening the installation time and reducing the cost of manual installation.
How to choose LED Screen Truss
Determine the size and weight of LED display
Determining the size and weight of the LED display is the first step in selecting the LED Screen Truss. When we determine the size and weight of the LED display, we can perfectly design the truss structure of the LED display.
Among them, the weight of LED display is closely related to the components of LED display, the following are the components that account for the most weight of LED display:
LED module
When the larger the LED screen size, the more LED modules needed, the heavier the weight of the LED display. LED modules are generally divided into indoor and outdoor two types.
Indoor LED module weight than outdoor LED module weight, specifically, indoor LED module weight than outdoor LED module weight 60% ~ 70%.
It should be noted that there is a special LED module, that is, LED tile screen module, it in order to be able to withstand the weight of people, its thickness will be very thick, the weight is more than the conventional indoor LED module 2 times.
Cabinet
The larger the screen size of the LED display, the more cabinets are needed, the heavier the weight of the LED display. Each cabinet will be equipped with more than one LED display power supply, and because of the different types of cabinets, its weight is different.
Fixed cabinet using the iron cabinet, its weight range of 35 ~ 55 pounds. Rental cabinets using die-cast aluminum cabinet, its weight range of 18 ~ 25 pounds.
If you need a larger cabinet to splice, then the weight of a single cabinet will be greater, thus making the overall LED display heavier.
Power Distribution Cabinet
When the LED display is large enough, you need to use the power distribution cabinet, its purpose is to give the LED display power supply.
When the LED display power is not very large, you can use a small power distribution cabinet, its weight is about 5 ~ 6 pounds. When the LED display requires a lot of power, you can use a large power distribution cabinet, its weight is about 10 ~ 20 pounds.
If the operating power of the LED display is so large that a large distribution box can not meet the case, then you also need to add a distribution cabinet to ensure that the LED display can be used normally. This will greatly increase the overall weight of the LED display.
Decide to use the LED Screen Truss installation method
According to the different environment of LED display installation, LED screen truss should adopt different ways to install LED screen. The following are the types of LED screen truss installation:
Stacked installation
Stacked installation is mainly to connect two LED cabinets. When connecting the two LED cabinets, we should first align the position, and then make the safety pins, i.e. locks, on the LED cabinets, and finally use the connecting pieces to reinforce again.
The installation form can adopt the hanging type or fixed type to install the structure of LED Screen Truss.
Suspension type
Suspension type installation is to hang the LED display in the air by the tools such as rope, the vertical direction of the cabinet is connected by the lifting mechanism, such as: gears, conical rods, bolts, etc., and the horizontal direction of the cabinet is connected by the locking and connecting pieces.
This type of mounting is suitable for the scenario where there is a lifting beam.
Fixed type
Fixed mounting mainly adopts fixed parts to fix the LED display on the truss of the LED display. It allows the LED display to maintain the best display position for a long time. This type of installation is mainly applicable to LED wall, square column LED display and LED floor tile screen.
Choose the right truss material
There are three commonly used materials for LED Screen Truss, aluminum and iron, and die-cast aluminum.
LED Screen Trusses made of aluminum have the characteristic of light weight, which helps the staff to transport and install the LED Screen Trusses. For some projects that require mobile installation, LED Screen Truss made of aluminum will be the best choice.
Although the weight of LED Screen Truss made of iron material is heavier than aluminum truss, it is the best in terms of strength and durability. It is very suitable for places that need to withstand greater pressure, such as sports stadiums, large format LED displays and so on.
The weight of die-casting aluminum truss is lighter than iron truss and heavier than aluminum truss, its firmness and durability are better than aluminum truss and its beauty is better than iron truss.
Choose the right truss shape
There are many kinds of truss shapes for LED display, but there are three kinds of trusses which are commonly used, namely, four-sided truss, triangular truss and double-sided trapezoidal truss.
Among them, four-sided truss is also called box truss, its design structure will be very complicated and stable, it can withstand a lot of force, and its price will be more expensive.
The design structure of triangle truss can also bring safety and stability for LED display, but it is slightly inferior to four-sided truss in terms of bearing pressure, and its price is also lower than that of four-sided truss.
Double-sided trapezoidal truss is the cheapest among these three truss shapes, but its structural design is far from the previous two truss shapes in terms of load pressure.
Check Load Rating and Certification
After choosing the right truss material and shape, the next step is to further check the load rating and certification of the LED Screen Truss.
The load rating of LED Screen Truss can be checked in the standard configuration, while the relevant certificates, such as TUV or ANSI standards, can be obtained from the manufacturer.
If you intend to use non-certified LED Screen Truss in a public place, it will bring you the risk of liability and the probability of mandatory removal by the government.
Consider Portability and Setup Efficiency
For LED Screen Truss, we also need to consider the portability and setup efficiency. If your LED display needs to be moved frequently, then please choose the modular truss with quick-lock connectors, which can improve the work efficiency of the installers and save the installation time.
If your LED display needs to be fixed, then please choose bolt together truss, which can bring you a stable and solid support structure, but the installation time is longer than modular truss.
Ensure compatibility with accessories and add-ons
Depending on the LED display project, LED Screen Truss can be compatible with different accessories and add-ons.
If the LED screen truss is used in concerts and other scenarios that require lighting and sound surroundings, the truss should be compatible with sound equipment, lighting equipment and other accessories.
If the LED screen truss is part of a larger multimedia display, make sure that the truss has mounting points, clamps, and adapters so that the larger multimedia displays can work together to provide a visual feast for the audience.
