Go/No Go Gauge measures
critical spacing between video wall displays to avoid costly repairs and
replacement
Fullerton,
CA (June 11, 2014) – Premier Mounts® announces the industry’s first video wall gap
measuring device with the GAPit Gauge. This invaluable
new inspection tool protects against costly damage when weight is transferred to
the sensitive ultra-thin bezels of displays in video wall installations. This
damage will result in image quality degradation, and costly repairs and
replacement if the recommended gap specification of .050” is not maintained
vertically and horizontally. Therefore it is recommended as a final step in the
installation process to use the GAPit to inspect and precisely measure the gap
between displays with a simple swipe, and adjust the gap if needed. Also,
routine inspections of the display gaps with the GAPit tool will help preserve
the lifespan of the displays.
“Installers
battle a variety of alignment challenges in video wall installations,” states
Rich Pierro, co-CEO, Premier Mounts. “The ultra-narrow bezel displays get
damaged from weight transfer into neighboring displays. This happens during installation and
alignment, from uncontrollable structural movements, and from thermal
expansion. When this happens, damage that
occurs to displays will affect the visual experience and lead to costly
maintenance or replacement. Our clients asked Premier Mounts for a reliable tool
that quickly measures the recommended gap, so we created the GAPit.”
Go/No Go Gauge Protects Display Clarity
As a
go/no-go gauge, the GAPit determines whether a gap is either acceptable or
unacceptable (rejected), and adjustments must be made. Allowing for a
recommended .050” specification between ultra-thin bezels, the GAPit gauge will
assist installers in maintaining the gap during installation and during
periodic inspections to maintain and prolong video wall display performance.
Designed with Accessibility in
Mind
The
GAPit is designed for ultimate convenience and protection in mind. An
integrated keychain hole and high-bright safety orange keeps it handy on your
tool belt or visible in your tool pouch. The key design also provides easy
handling for a simple swipe of the video display gap to measure for ultimate
display protection.
POM Material Provides Ultra-Thin Bezel
Protection with Strength
The GAPit
is made of Polyoxymethylene, also known as POM, which is an engineering
thermoplastic known for high stiffness, low friction and excellent stability. POM also has a low coefficient of friction, which makes it glide
very easily between the ultra-thin bezels without marring or damaging the
panels. It also holds a high abrasion resistance to protect from wear and tear.
