A club truss is a structure used in the entertainment industry, typically for lighting and sound equipment. The truss is made up of aluminum or steel tubes that are connected together with spigots or bolts to form a sturdy framework that can be suspended from a ceiling or ground-supported. Here are the general steps involved in producing a custom club truss:
1. Determine truss specifications
determine the size, shape, and load-bearing capacity of the truss. This will depend on the intended use of the truss and the weight of the equipment that will be suspended from it.
2. Create a design
A 3D model of the truss can be created using computer-aided design (CAD) software. This will allow you to visualize the final product and make any necessary changes before production begins.
3. Fabricate the truss
The truss can be fabricated using a variety of methods, including welding or mechanical fastening. The tubes will need to be cut to the correct length and connected together using spigots or bolts. The truss will also need to be tested to ensure it meets the load-bearing capacity requirements
4. Finish the truss
The truss can be finished with a variety of coatings, including powder coating or anodizing, to protect it from corrosion and wear.
5. Install the truss
The truss can be installed using rigging equipment and safety protocols to ensure it is securely suspended or ground-supported.
