Titus Group, at IWF Atlanta 2016, USA

Visitors to Titus stand at IWF had the opportunity to experience many innovations.

For example, Titus new generation hinge T-type Glissando tuned to ConfidentClose, consumer preferred door closing action; the Tekform drawer, a family of double wall drawers characterised by a simple mounting procedure; Titusoft SD100 soft closing mechanism for sliding doors; Full Metal Jacket new generation of Quickfit connectors’ technology; Titusonic ultrasound fastening solution that bonds wooden materials without use of adhesives and Titus multi-purpose damping technology.

T-type Glissando, new hinge generation
T-type Glissando, Titus new hinge generation, is characterised by a highly tolerant design, which assures a reliable door closing and a lifetime performance even in case of accidental misalignment and inaccurate drillings. The ‘3Way’ ‘snap-on’ mounting plate allows for an intuitive hinge-to-plate mounting in three directions, which enhances and simplifies the mounting experience and enables easy door installation even in tall cabinets where 4-5 hinges per door are required. Low hinge cup drilling depth enables the wide range of applications on door thickness from 15mm on. Low hinge cup drilling depth enables the wide range of applications on door thickness from 15mm on. The T-type Glissando soft closing action is tuned to Titus @¬#ConfidentClose@¬#. The door closes fast; the deceleration action begins at a late point of door closing action and the closing is especially slow and soft in the last stage when the door leans against the cabinet side.

Tekform drawer
Tekform drawer, a family of double wall drawers characterised by a simple mounting procedure and a reliable performance with ‘ConfidentClose’. The fast and simple @¬#EasyFix@¬# locking system of the front panel connector requires just a hand insertion and a quarter turn of the screwdriver to reliably lock the connection. Its expanding feature allows for repeatable assembly and disassembly of the front panel. Optimal drawer alignment is comfortably accomplished through an intuitive vertical and horizontal adjustment procedure. The rigid drawer and rail design assures drawer stability in open position. Titus damper that is integrated in all Tekform drawers adds value to the furniture providing a reliable and consistent soft closing tuned to end consumer preferred @¬#ConfidentClose@¬# features: fast, gentle, silent and safe.

Soft closing mechanism for sliding doors Titusoft SD100
Titusoft SD100 is a soft closing mechanism for application on top running sliding door systems. Intuitive positioning on the top cabinet rail and a non-handed design allow for a simple and precise mounting. Titusoft SD100 can be installed during the furniture assembly or later, when the furniture is already in use. Titusoft SD100 ensures a fast but silent and smooth door closing tuned to Titus ‘ConfidentClose’. The proprietary Titus hydraulic damping technology enables a consistent and reliable performance on doors of various sizes throughout the furniture life-time.

Full Metal Jacket, new generation of Quickfit TL connectors’ technology
Full Metal Jacket, the new generation Quickfit TL dowels expands the Titus Quickfit tool-free insertion technology to widely used Ø5mm dowel holes. The expanding steel sleeve assures a high resistance to pull-out and a consistent performance even in case of repeatable assembly of the furniture and without wooden dowels. Its self-adjustment feature provides the edge-to-hole-centre tolerance of +/-1mm which helps to overcome drilling inaccuracies. The ‘Full Metal Jacket’ Quickfit TL allows for factory insertion that reduces by 50% the time needed to assemble the cabinet carcass at home. Due to its specific shape it remains securely in the hole during the transport. Pre-inserted connectors considerably shorten the time needed to assemble furniture with less parts, an easier assembly procedure and less risk of missing parts.

Titusonic
Titusonic is based on the WoodWelding® fastening process and uses the ultrasound to bond rigid cabinets and honeycomb boards without use of adhesives. The Titusonic Sonic Rivet replaces the commonly used wooden dowel and glue in the construction of cabinets and other furniture products. With rising demand for hollow core board (HCB) in furniture, the Titusonic process presents a cost effective solution to attach fittings to frameless honeycomb boards. Providing a strong and immediate joint, the Titusonic ultrasonic welder firmly attaches the plastic insert to a hollow core board within one second providing a firm base into which to fix the connectors.

Titus damper multi-purpose damping technology applied to ovens
The latest damper solution for white goods is conceived for damping objects with greater load. It can operate in the temperature range between -20 and +120°C and is especially appropriate for use on oven doors. Its progressive feature keeps the bounce-back to a minimum. Titus hydraulic damper delivers a life-long reliable and consistent damping action. Its modular design enables quick development of custom solutions for various applications in furniture hardware, white goods hardware and other house-hold applications.
