Description

Next-to-Wall or Panel
Times-2, positioned next to
traditional-framed walls or open-office furniture systems, increases both
capacity and access to stored information, Capacity will increase
from a minimum of 40% to a maximum of 200% growth. Faster retrieval
times are standard with Times-2. 50% of all documents are
immediately available to the operator. The other half a gentle
rotation away. To allow for full rotation of Times-2, a rotation
space must be designed into each floor plan. The rotation space can
be concealed with the addition of a wall closing strip. Rotation space
along the top can be canceled with the addition of an extended canopy top.
Back-to-Back
Tier-per-tier, Times-2, when placed in a
back-to-back configuration, delivers the maximum possible storage capacity
in the defined floor space. The secret is the elimination of entire aisle ways,
yet access in never compromised. The rotation space between
back-to-back units may be planned as either single or double-depth.
Appropriately sized wall-closing strips are available for each
dimension. Extended canopy tops are also available to conceal the
rotation space from above. In shorter heights, custom wood tops are
also an attractive option.
Room Divider
In addition to filing and storage capacity
gains, Times-2 delivers cost reduction and productivity benefits.
When used as a room divider Times-2 defines departmental space, eliminates
the cost of construction or furniture panels, and still provides increased
access to all stored materials. The dual foot pedal option must be
specified in this application. The double-depth design of Times-2
means that both sides of the unit are accessible simultaneously when used
as a room divider. When closed, access is denied to both sides.
Through the Wall or Panel
Imagine having access to stored documents in
another room without leaving the room you are in. Times-2 Speed
Files, when installed through a wall or furniture system, can do just
that. With a gentle push, the rotating interior turns and delivers
the documents from the other side. Times-2 is the filing system to
specify when two offices must share information. When installed
through-a-wall, between 10 to 13 inches projects into each room, depending
on letter or Legal/EDP/A4-size unites are used. A dual pedal option
must be specified when dual access is required.
Built-In Alcove
Floor plans are made more productive when
high-capacity Time-2 units are positioned or "built-in"
alcoves. The Alcove can be constructed of traditional stud/dry wall materials,
or, in open-space plans, the alcove can be created with today's soft wall
technology. This application allows the architect or engineer the freedom
to position Times-2 directly over structural beams or between columns and
still allow the designer to integrate high density and productive fast-retrieval
storage into any demanding environment. With custom finishes or
decorative laminate door options, Time-2 can match any surrounding decor
Work Top Unit
Laminated work tops, mounted to 3, 4, and in
some cases 5-tier Times-2 Speed Files, provide essential work surfaces for
a variety of sorting, collating, and paper flow purposes. Times-2
offers plastic laminated work tops (particle board core) for single and
multiple unit configurations. Times-2 will also supply all needed
dimensions for your custom millwork supplied for executive solid wood requirements,
wood veneered, or artificial surface worktops. Specify if wood top
should cover rotation space or be finished on all four sides.
Closed Back Units
Times-2 Speed Files can be specified with
closed backs for security purposes when single access is demanded.
Closed backs can be covered by fabric panels to integrate the units into
any office decor. Existing units can be retrofitted with closed
backs as well. Closed backs are priced as a option to starter and
add-on units. Closed backs are available in all heights and sizes.
Astragals
When sensitive materials require extraordinary security measures,
the Times-2 Astragal offers our highest level of protection. In this
application, the standard Times-2 post is replaced with an Astragal, or
locking post. Hinged, heavy-duty steel straps swing over the space
between the TImes-2 door and post to securely lock unit. The user
supplies the own lock. Astragals are available for new and existing
TImes-2 Speed Files.
