AML500 Aluminium Modular Lattice Node - 1-Way to 6-Way
AML500 nodes are the 500 mm cubes that turn corners and branch an AML500 structure, so it can build in any direction. Each node is welded from 6061-T6 aluminium: machined corner blocks joined by 76.2 x 6.35 mm SHS edges, with every face X-braced in 50 x 4 mm CHS. Each connecting face has a machined spigot in each corner that takes a module end, bolted with an AP-AML500-JK-MN joint kit.
Nine nodes cover every arrangement. The end cap has one connecting face: it caps a tower or the end of an arm, or finishes an upright level with a node on the next one. The straight node has two opposite faces, so an upright carries on past a node level with the same cube and faces as the corner beside it. The 90° corner, T-piece and cross turn and branch in one plane, and the 3D corner, 3D T-piece, 5-way and cube (all six faces) branch in three directions. Each node can be turned to suit.
AML500 structures are engineered for each project.
