TECHNICAL FEATURES
WHY POLYAMMIDE ? The material of the roller body, polyamide charged with fibreglass like the insulating bars, allows a correct inside/outside thermal insulation, which is very important in the applications on thermal-break profiles. The reinforcement given by the fibreglass makes it indifferent to temperature variations, keeping the shape and the mechanical resistance unchanged.
ADJUSTMENT A stainless-steel screw allows to make the vertical adjustment of the roller up to 5mm max.

The body of the roller, thanks to its particular funnel shape, makes the introduction of the key into the adjusting screw easier, and facilitate the operations when the window is installed.

TECHNICAL FEATURES
REPLACEMENT OF THE WHEELS The particular fastening system of the wheels allows fast and easy replacement without disassembling the roller, on all available versions.Once the sash has been removed from the frame, press the wheel downward to take it out.

WIDENESS OF THE RANGE The rollers have been designed and manufactured to be used on profiles with different dimensions and shapes. Furthermore, the particular shape of the external body has been studied to carry heavy loads also when dimensions are reduced. The compatibility with the several systems is completed by a wide range of solutions and wheels with different diameters, sections and bearings are available.

THE LABORATORIES
FAPIM = QUALITY AND CERTIFICATIONS Fapim has an extremely equipped structure made up of two laboratories for the chemical and mechanical tests, carried out by skilled personnel. The laboratories have been equipped with test machines and tools enabling to carry out the tests in accordance with several European and American standards both harmonized (such as the EN standards for windows and doors air, water and wind performance assessment required for the CE certification), and voluntary (such as the RAL RG 607/3 standard for the Tilt and Turn mechanisms). These laboratories can be used to make researches for the company needs and for those clients who intend to make use of them, and also free researches not subject to any production or market requirement. FAPIM = ACCREDITED LABORATORY Normally, to obtain the certification, the material is sent to the Institutes where the official tests are carried out. In case of positive results, the certification is issued based on the standard requirements. The Institutes in question generally perform periodical audits at the company premises to verify both production and inspection programmes and conformity with the product standards .On the contrary the Fapim Laboratories have been accredited by the Institutes of Certification to carry out specific tests with no need to apply to third laboratories whenever official certification tests and/or product supervision is required.Accreditation is given after the assessment of the test equipment conformity to the standard requirements, especially with regard to tool setting and complete training and competence of the personnel in charge of test execution . CHEMICAL LABORATORY It is equipped with all the tools necessary to carry out a daily inspections on the anodized and painted material produced by the company and with two chambers where both neutral and acetic acid salt spray (fog) tests can be carried out. The laboratory structure allows to fully meet the requirements imposed by QUALICOAT and QUALANOD quality marks respectively as to painting and anodizing processes. MECHANICAL LABORATORY It is equipped in a way that it is possible to carry out tests on components and windows to get essential directions during the new products project and development stage, and in view of the obtaining and maintenance of certifications. It is equipped with the following test equipments. Test machine for windows (RAL RG 607/3 and EN 13126-8 standards for Tilt and Turn); Machine for sliding windows (EN 13126-15 standard) Double sash machine for panic exit devices (EN 1125, EN 179 European standards and UL 305 American standard); Machine for door hinges (EN 1935 standard); Machine for the evaluation of windows and doors air, water and wind performance (EN 1026, EN 1027 and EN 12211 standards). Besides covering Fapim needs, it is at our clients’ disposal to carry out the tests to obtain the CE mark; Climatic chamber to test complete windows and doors and assess the behaviour of their components under extreme working conditions (outside temperature between -35 °C and +70 °C, inside temperature between 18 and 25 °C, and relative humidity between 40 and 95%); Machine for curtain wall arms tests (EN 13126-11 European standard and AAMA 904-01 American standard). The laboratory is equipped with many other equipments allowing to perform static/dynamic resistance tests on all the items that we produce.

STANDARD AND TEST
INTRODUCTION The EN 13126-15:2008 standard was issued by the CEN/TC 33 “Doors, windows, shutters, building hardware and curtain wall” Technical Committee. The working tests required can be reproduced and provide a real and objective verification of the product working in all the CEN member states. The above mentioned standard is recognized as a national standard, and according to the internal CEN/CENELEC rules, the National Standards Institutes of the following countries are required to enforce it: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Rep., Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. PURPOSE The EN 13126-15:2008 standard provides requirements and test methods for durability, resistance, safety and working of the rollers for horizontal sliding systems, independently from their adjusting possibility, their way or type of fastening or the fact that they can be used individually or in multiples or combinations. EQUIPMENT AND TEST SAMPLES Rollers and relevant rails for horizontal sliding doors and windows must be assembled on a test equipment following manufacturer’s instructions and designing purposes. The following samples will be tested: - Sample A.1 - durability test - Sample A.2 - static durability test at ambient temperature - Sample B - corrosion test DURABILITY TEST (Sample A.1.) Procedure The wheels of the roller must be pre-checked to assess any possible surface defect, and the initial diameter of each wheel must be measured in three different points. The roller must be then assembled on the test equipment, the load applied and the value of the initial distance measured and recorded.
The rollers must slide on a 800 mm ± 10 mm length, at a 250 +250 cycles/h speed (one cycle consists of a back and forth movement).

The possible test levels are the following: - level 3: 10.000 cycles (+1%) cycles - level 4: 15.000 cycles (+1%) cycles - level 5: 25.000 cycles (+1%) cycles
