Dear Customer,

As you know, SmartMetals Mounting Solutions has been fully acquired by the Vogel's Group. In close cooperation, both companies serve the Pro-AV market even better.

This has been a fruitful collaboration so far, for example the R&D and Product Management departments of both companies were combined to form our new Product Development Center in Den Bosch, The Netherlands. Resulting in Europe's largest Product Development Center for professional AV mounting solutions. Our tight knit unit of Engineers, Designers and Product Managers develop the latest, innovative solutions for the professional AV installation market.

Further expansion of this collaboration between SmartMetals and Vogel’s is due. Which we are happy to explain  in an outline of our future plans and what this means for you.

Merging sales organizations
As of July 1^st 2022, SmartMetals’ Benelux section will merge with Vogel's Professional Netherlands, creating a new entity: Vogel's Professional Benelux (VPB). In due course you will be informed in more detail about changes in company data, contact persons, et cetera. From this point onwards, communication runs directly through Vogel’s.

Optimization product portfolio
Combining product portfolios of SmartMetals and Vogel's ensures an optimal range. This is done to achieve a product range that is as complete as possible, while avoiding clutter. More than ever, we aim to offer a solution for every AV mounting application.

Website SmartMetals

Optimization of SmartMetals’ product portfolio, means certain products will disappear. You will be informed as and when this occurs. This also affects the SmartMetals website. Once a product is discontinued, it will be removed from the website and a reference to the replacement product on the Vogel's website (www.vogels.com) will be displayed.

The upcoming period will see our organization in transition. Ultimately, all products will be visible on the Vogel's website and available from Vogel's. Of course we will inform you step-by-step with a newsletter.

In the meantime, both websites remain available, with links to each other where necessary.

Contact
If you have any questions due to uncertainties, or prefer personal advice, please do not hesitate to contact us.

With expert advice from SmartMetals and Vogel's employees and a complete, optimized range, you will get the best possible service. Together with you, we are on our way to serve the professional AV market even better. Better than ever!

Earlier this year we modified our rental floor stands with a new coupling mechanism for more stability.

The Light Series floor stands for fixed installation are now available from stock in black as well.

All models of our steel stack frames are now available in an aluminium version: at the same price!

The stack frames are lightweight, better manageable and easier to transport. Another plus of this stack frame is the detachable front part which makes the it perfectly suitable for backwards projection with ultra short throw lenses as well.

The aluminium stack frame is now also available for the Epson L Series and NEC PA Series.

This product range extends and completes the existing range of light weight and heavy duty ceiling mounting solutions. It consists of various models, colours for flat panels for fixed installation purposes.

The flat panel ceiling mounts are standard equipped with rotation and the VESA models are standard tiltable.

Through the cable duct cables can be run all the way up into the false ceiling. All models are telescopically adjustable in length and supplied including a ceiling finishing ring in the main colour of the ceiling mount.

The biggest benefit of this new range is the saving of precious installation time due to the telescopic adjustment of the tube for a price where others offer you a cuttable fixed length.

Available models:

-              Models for flat panel mounting excl. bracket

-              Models for flat panel mounting incl. VESA bracket

For more information check the 072.3xxx products on our website.

Just one model, with anti - collision model that replaces all of the above mentioned models means that there is no difference anymore for lower and upper grade. You will therefor always pick the right one.

We have composed an overview of the lift systems in a table, to show you the difference between the several solutions. Find the summary below.
For questions, or a possible demonstration for one of these products, do not hesitate to contact the SmartMetals Team via  +31 88 70 60 100 or info@smartmetals.nl
 

The demand is increasing, in tenders it is often even required: anti-collision on electrical lift systems, also called anti-pinch protection. Because, where people work with these systems, especially when it concerns children, optimal safety is vital. The damage can not be overlooked as a lift continues its movement while something is squashed.

SmartMetals therefore recently equipped a large part of her lift systems with integrated anti-collision, which causes a lift to stop and move back up again when it experiences resistance.

Besides the addition of anti-collision we have introduced a number of innovations to our lift systems:
 All lifts with the anti-collision feature standard have a larger stroke and faster height adjustment.
 All lifts are now supplied standard with a lift cabinet with a mounting utility for a NUC / Mini-PC / thin client (see figure on the side).
 The new lift cabinet also has an integrated rupture disc, which can be broken out to place an 76mm installation box (for possible application of an electrical outlet, plug, or control panel).
 Finally the back cover has been (article 063.7260) renewed: it standard has a lock now. Additionally, a grip to easily turn on or off the NUC / mini PC.

Projector frames are to project your projector, besides mounting in a truss. Frames exist where a full fine adjustment is integrated per projector; to allow a perfect fine adjustment to one another. Other frames have just limited or miss the adjustment. 

SmartMetals has, especially for this not easy accessible, limited or missing fine adjustment, developed a new projector rental mount. Rough and fine adjustments are faster obtained, and better accessible.

Other important features are:
- Frame can be fastened to the truss with just 1 or 2 trigger clamp (s)
- Direct installation to projector frame with VESA 100
- Or fastening via universal or frame-specific brackets for the other frames.

Extensive product information can be found on the individual product page:

002.4620              Bracket for Barco HDX & HDF series frames (max. 150 kg)
002.4621              Large universal bracket for frames mounted to 002.4600

Due to (touch) flatscreens becoming heavier and bigger, we have added two products to our assortment.
Important for the development of these products was functionality, stability and the possibility to a larger mounting surface. Also the combination with whiteboards on the sides (five surface system) is taken into account.

The new products are:
- For (touch) flat screens max. 160 kg, max. 98 inch
- Suitable for floor or wall mounting
- Double columned (with or without a wheelframe)
- Suited with a 600 mm motorized height adjustment

In May 2015 the warranty on our floor lifts is extended from three to a five years warranty. You hereby receive a 5 year warranty on the production-and manufacturing errors of these electrical components.

Of course we trust that all products have a much longer lifespan than this period. This trust is derived from thoroughly testing the electrical products, the components being of high quality and have a  very low DPPM (defective parts per million) score.

SmartMetals is happy and proud to inform you to be offering you a 5 year warranty on our complete assortment.

The SmartMetals divisible stands have proven themselves as the ideal solution for flat screens in rental applications. Last year, we have introduced the Light Series for mounting the lighter displays up to 55 inch. This solution better fits the lighter weight of the displays and the corresponding price level.

From the rental market we received a demand for a floor solution with a longer column, to allow the flat screen being visible to a large audience during events. We are launching a floor stand which is 225cm in length, has a larger base plate and is suitable for flat screens of max. 55 inch, max. 30 kg. The stand requires an additional SmartMetals bracket with three-point coupling  and a platform is available as accessory.

Detailed product information can be found on the individual product pages:​

062.8000-225 Fully divisible stand (light series) 225 cm for display

SmartMetals looks back on a very successful first participation at the Prolight+Sound. 

In cooperation with Eyevis we were able to show our products in a live situation.  

The Eyevis 55" VideoWall monitors were flying in the truss, mounted to the Smart Rental Frame allowing a complete video wall being installed and deinstalled in a very short time.  

Also, the service friendly "push to open" VideoWall mount for permanent installation in the 2x2 setup received a lot of interest.  

A newcomer in our product range is our heavy ball joint for projectors and stack frames up to 150 kilograms. Developed specifically for the rental market, of which we received a lots of positive responses during Prolight+Sound.  

The greatest success, however, were the Light Series Floor stands for which several orders were placed during the exhibition. Compared to other suppliers with a similar product we offer a real difference in price and functionality, without compromising in quality and design.

With the trend of monitors ever increasing in size but also decreasing in weight SmartMetals has done new tipping calculations. The result is that we were able to adjust the maximum monitor size allowed per model floorstand upwards.

This mounting kit is to be combined with a SmartMetals angled tube set. It allows installation of a projector in portrait position.

The mounting kit is attached to the projector bracket and then clamped to the tube set by means of clamping brackets. Finally adjust the plate by turning the nuts and the projector is perfectly perpendicular to the tube.

SmartMetals has developed a range floor solutions for Touch displays which would be used in the table position; we call it the Tip & Touch stand. This specific version has been adjusted for wheel chair users; with a wider foot print, bigger castors and an option for a PC at the side. This wheeled stand has an electrical height adjustment from 844 - 1504mm (table height); which can be limited for a 55 inch to 920-1160 mm. The Tip & Touch stand is available with a motorized tip function of 90 degrees; which can be limited from 0 to 25 degrees. A bracket is integrated with VESA patterns 400 - 200, 400 - 400 and 600 - 400.Please note: Check if your display is suitable for horizontal use.Read more...

With the increased amount of white projectors, the demand for white projector mounts and accessories has also increased. Our range has been modified accordingly and the projector mounts and accessories are from now on only- but fully available in white.

Features Floor lift XL on wheels: 

Suitable for monitors max. 160kg

• Standard integrated mounting bracket to VESA 600x400

• Continuous and quiet electric height adjustment

• With space for storing a PC or other peripherals

For additional information please contact the SmartMetals team via

+31(0)183-352942 or send an email to info@SmartMetals.eu.

The question was asked more often: does SmartMetals have a projector-floor solution? From halfway 2014 she does: suitable for most projectors, tiltable and particularly stable.

With a size of 600x600 mm the projector platform is suitable for most projectors. With the tilting head, the projector can be tilted in an angle of -15 ° to + 15 °. Combine the support with a SmartMetals floor stand with back to back base plate (062.2200 or 062.2000) for stable projector-floor solution. Cables are easily led through the support and into the cable duct in the floor stand and hidden. If needed, you can fasten the projector on the platform with straps.
Are you looking for a solution to compactly store and easily and safely transport projector and / or floor stand and support in a compact way? Skylite has a custom flightcase for everything.

Our office will be closed for Christmas Holidays from Wednesday 24th of December until Tuesday 2nd of January

Due to the quick growth of SmartMetals, Dutch manufacturer of mounting solutions, expansion of her sales team has become a necessity. We are pleased to inform you the arrival of Sandra Rijken is a fact as of the 1st of October. About Sandra, she will join the sales team of SmartMetals, and is driven, accurate and has a passion for technics. She thanks nearly 16 years of experience with audio visual mounting solutions to her previous employer Audipack, making her a valuable addition to our sales team, for us, but certainly for you, our customer. Due to Sandra’s extensive experience on the international audio visual market and speaking fluently Dutch, German, French and English, we believe we can manage and boost our national and international growth more efficiently. 

 SmartMetals was asked to deliver a nice solution for the installation of 2 screens in a hospital; positioned landscape besides one another mounted to the ceiling. For this project SmartMetals combined several assortment products to create a custom made solution.

SmartMetals chose to use the light series ceiling mount of 2 metre (072.8200) to install the solution to the ceiling. The light series are especially suitable for mounting light displays up to 30 kg. The column can easily be shortened in length, cables can be nicely concealed in the cable duct of 35 x 25 mm which can be closed by means of a cable cover ( the cable cover can also be shortened in length so that it can be opened and closed underneath the suspended ceiling. A framework of two horizontal aluminium profiles is created to mount the screens. The edges of the profiles are nicely finished with a set of connection brackets which also strengthen the aluminium construction and prevent twisting. The framework is mounted to the light series ceiling mount by means of mounting bars and wall mounts (172.0080). After that the screens (2x Samsung ME46C 13,1 Kg) can be mounted and aligned to the aluminium profiles with the economy mounting arms.

Are you wondering whether we could easily combine assortment product for a new composition, or are you looking for a custom made solution please feel free to contact the SmartMetals team. We are happy to help you finding the best SmartMetals solutions for your projects. 

When mounting a row of displays or a matrix configuration (in comparison to installing a single display), you automatically deal with a larger mounting surface. Here you have more chances of the wall/support to which you mount the VideoWall not being completely flat. Therefore it is important the VideoWall mounting system allows precise adjustment in height, depth, width and offers tilt function. SmartMetals offers a complete range of solutions with aluminium profiles; these aluminium profiles are adjusted in length for your VideoWall of choice for a straightforward horizontal alignment. The various choices in mounting arms offer you possibilities to adjust in height, with an additional tilt function (172.0200) and for example a service position (172.0100) for a quick access to the cables or to replace a monitor.

SmartMetals offers you the complete package by which installers have the choice between three different mounting arms and a broad range of wall or floor parts for large and small VideoWalls. Besides the choice between different mounting arms SmartMetals now launched six variants of VideoWall solutions for mounting on the floor, to a floor-wall pillar or freestanding. Any VideoWall has her own maximum height and width in maximum number of displays; depending on the inch size, display weight and the height upon which the first display is installed. 

For example: VW1 is a free-standing VideoWall floor solution suitable for 2x2, 3x2, 3x3 en 4x2 configurations.

All six VideoWall models can be found in our product catalogue which is available for download on the support page of our website

To send you a price quotation we require you to specify the VideoWall configuration, the height bottom first display, brand and model of display and the preference in mounting arm.
The SmartMetals Team is looking forward to helping you finding the right VideoWall solution for your purpose. Please do not hesitate to contact us via e-mail +31(0)183 352942  or via info@smartmetals.eu

At the beginning of this year, SmartMetals introduced the light series stands for fixed installation and rental. This range being especially developed for mounting lightweight monitors. The solid and reliable floor supports from SmartMetals were already suitable for these monitors; but to better fit the current monitor weight and price level this light range has been developed.

For permanent installation the range consists of ceiling solutions, stands and trolleys including a bracket with most VESA mounting patterns integrated. A stand platform for a laptop or camera is available as accessory.

For rental companies SmartMetals took up divisible stands in her assortment. Due to the stand being divided in 4 parts: the base plate, the column in two parts of 95cm and the stand head, the stand and the screen can be transported compact in a flightcase. The stand is to be combined with a SmartMetals bracket with three point coupling. A stand platform can be added as accessory.

The complete light series and accessories are yet available from stock.

Examples Light series:
Stand with flat base plate & VESA 400 bracket 062.8244
Stand with trolley floor frame & VESA 400 bracket 062.8744
Stand platform 386 x 308 mm 063.8100

In 2013 SmartMetals launched a modular VideoWall system for wall, floor and truss installations; called the Smart Rental Frame. 
This year SmartMetals improved the brackets. They now allow vertical alignment of the screens when mounted to the wall. The adjustment feature is accessible through the top of the bracket frame by means of a screwdriver. The brackets of the Smart Rental Frame are  custom-made for your monitor, offer a horizontal and vertical fine adjustment for the monitors, plus they provide the possibility to change between a portrait and landscape screen position. This new VideoWall solution is suitable for most ultra-narrow-bezel displays on the market. Thereby the Smart Rental Frame is lightweight and compact what makes it easy to transport. 

SmartMetals obtained a TÜV certification on the Smart Rental Frame offering more security and safety for working with these products.
With wall installation, the bracket frames fitted with a screen specific bracket, are screwed to the wall. Through special draw latches they are fastened to neighbouring frames. When installing on the floor the floor frames are levelled on their location, coupling frames are fastened to these frames with camlocks, after which the bracket frames incl. screen specific brackets are connected with draw latches. When planning to fly the VideoWall in the truss, the floor frames are replaced by stabilizer frames and at the top of the coupling and bracket frames special fly sets are attached. These fly sets include a dept adjustment to level the VideoWall in the truss. The screen specific brackets include four keyholes in which the display (fitted with 4 coupling bolts) is hung.
These innovations result in an impressive VideoWall which is now even easier and more precise to install then before.

Narrow bezel or seamless displays are more and more implemented in the retail market to for example: build single displays into a wall (to let it stream with their shop concept) or as a VideoWall feature.

Within the SmartMetals assortment one may find several divisible stands for flat screens. These fully divisible stands are especially suitable for rental purposes, as they can be assembled without tools and shipped compact in a flightcase. The hoist system is an accessory that rental companies use to attach Plasma- and LCD from a flightcase on a stand, after which they can be hoisted up to the preferred height.

On the ISE SmartMetals has introduced the 70 inch Smart Screen Hoister. This is a fully divisible stand with double column for screens up to 70 inch, of maximum 120 kg. Furthermore SmartMetals has integrated an electrical hoist system to enable users to hoist up their screens to their preferred height with this stand too. A universal rental mount with rotation function (to rotate the screen from landscape to portrait) is available as accessory.
 

Over the past year SmartMetals has invested in the development of strong and durable mounting systems for heavy Touch screens. Just recently we released products 062.7200 (silver-grey) and 062.7205 (black), motorized trolleys for Touch screens up to 70 inch max. 135kg. What makes this product so unique is its screen flexibility and installation ease, within just three steps the product is installed and ready for use.

These wheeled stands have continuous and silent height adjustment and an integrated screen bracket containing most VESA patterns, making it suitable for almost every display. The embedded VESA bracket has another special feature, it can be used as support for a Desktop PC at the back. The stand has handles on the side what makes the unit very easy to move  around and therefore useful in multiple rooms to demonstrate a product or give a presentation. The applicability of this SmartMetals product is endless.
Accessories available for this stand are a lockable lid for the PC support, a keyboard platform and a laptop platform with swivel arm. 

The delivery times of our whiteboard sets have unfortunately become significantly longer than you expect from us: count on 13 to 17 working days after order, ex works Meerkerk, from now on.

In the new product catalogue SmartMetals introduces a range of new products among which covers and enclosures for flat screens up to 52 inch. A flat screen cover or enclosure protects your valuable monitor against its environment, allows the cabling to be nicely concealed and hides unwanted branding on the monitor. 

A flat screen cover is especially suitable for wall mounting, the bottom and top end are fitted with ventilation holes. Additional room can be reserved for a PC or media player. 

For the enclosures, both the front- and back plate are removable for service or maintenance. The back side of the enclosure is flat, of which the top and bottom are fitted with ventilation holes. Within the housing we have reserved space for a PC or mediaplayer. 

The assortment is delivered in standard colour and finish. The tube sets are silver-grey and the front- and back plate are white powder coated. We can powder coat all parts in a colour of your preference. By adding a logo or text to a cover or enclosure the customer can receive a custom product. We can also offer branding in the form of contour cut stickers or full colour prints.

Digital signage is a market for which a certain solution-flexibility is requested; a client wishes to be able to use any screen brand and model, and prefers the possibility to implement their own identity and wishes in the design. 2011 was a year in which SmartMetals has given special attention to the development of display enclosures and totems to lay the foundation for her Digital Signage solutions.

Early 2012 we have introduced a range Digital Signage solutions on the ISE, of which flatscreen totems for screens in portrait, landscape and table position, and also enclosures for screens installed to the ceiling.

For example the SmartMetals flat screen totem is especially suitable for information purposes like in large shopping malls or at airports and train stations. Standard SmartMetals offers three variants of totems for screens in: landscape-, portrait- and in table position. These Totems are delivered in the colour combination white and aluminium. By offering the customer the possibility to choose their own hardware,  he or she can offer the best possible solution; when taking into account a chosen monitor or touch screen, a media player and software. 

Sometimes a standard product does not meet the specific demands and wishes of a project. SmartMetals therefore offers the possibility to develop custom products, who perfectly meet these specific wishes of the customer. One can think of a back-to-back solution, integrating a webcam or a flatscreen kiosk including a point-of-sale at the back. This is a huge surplus for retail users, by whom all well used space increases profit. By adding a logo or trademark to a totem you create your own identity and competitive advantage.
