The advantages of a mosaic mimic system over other mimic systems is that it can be unlimited in size, is extremely sturdy and individual tiles can be changed after the mimic has been completed. Mimic Crafts explains further.
The system is composed of modular elements. The graphic display on tiles which are plugged into a grid construction form interlocking long and short sections. As both tiles and grid are made from polycarbonate (Makrolon), which is a stable heat-resistant material, they have matching expansion characteristics.
All artwork is computer-generated directly from approved CAD drawings. CAD information is kept on computer and extensions can thus be done exactly the same as the original thus keeping the high quality standard at all times. All symbols, lines etc, are engraved and the outline filled in black. This outline engraving improves the visibility, enhances quality and the engraving cannot be removed – even with excessive cleaning.
The grid is assembled from interlocking dovetail sections with staggered joints and provides a rigid and robust structure. The grid incorporates fixing holes for fitting of PCBs etc. while the clear rear surface of the grid frame is ideal for neat fixing of wiring and trunking. If the parts are cut or removed to fit instruments, the mosaic grid can be replaced in small modules (2x4 tiles).
Tiles are available in 24 x 24, 24 x 48 and 48 x 48 mm in light grey, black or transparent milky white (for rear LED illumination).
The surface is antiglare. Tiles can be removed from the front using a special tool.
Mimic Crafts, together with its sister company, Mimic Components, can offer a complete mimic system with a wide range of components that can be fitted and wired.
