Challenges The customer's low productivity assembly process was plagued by several issues: Inefficient Nameplate Attachment: The process of attaching nameplates was cumbersome and time-consuming. Low Efficiency Due to Anti-Galling Grease: The use of anti-galling grease on sta

  Choosing the right fastener for the job plays a crucial role in how the final product turns out. When an application involves joining materials that are too soft or too thin, directly accepting self-tapping screws or bolts will cause damage to the base material. In this situation, threaded inserts make joining those materials possible. Once this type of fastener is installed, the internal threads of the insert are available to support screws, bolts, and other fasteners with male threading. Threaded inserts aren’t just useful for workpieces made from soft or thin materials. These inserts are often used to replace existing threaded holes that have been stripped or are otherwise no longer suitable for securely holding threaded fasteners . Compared with self-tapping screws, screws and bolts with threaded inserts can handle higher axial and radial loads.   Threaded inserts were initially developed for the aerospace and aviation industries, where their main purpose was to secure dei

Located in Nanjing, China, our customer is a company that excels in the integration of research and development, manufacturing, and sales of power tools and smart outdoor garden equipment. Their dedication and expertise have earned them numerous honors and recognitions, including the titles of a national green factory and a national industrial design center. Opportunity To boost the capability of a well-known power tool, our engineering team engaged with our customer R&D department in Expert Assortment Analysis and Expert Teardown projects. Throughout this collaborative process, thread-forming screws and self-tapping screws have been extensively utilized on the product shell. Challenges In their day-to-day production processes of power tools at their Nanjing plant, our customer faces several challenges. Our engineers have identified the following key challenges: 1. Multiple types of products to manage 2. Complex assembly process in production 3. Fasteners have a ri

Failure Analysis – determines why a bolted joint fails, such as corrosion, change of friction conditions, or incorrect tightening torque . Fastening Optimization – helps you choose the right fastener for your application and provides specifications if desired. Friction Coefficient Testing / Torsion Testing – determines the friction coefficient, tightening torque, and clamp force of your bolted joint. Hardness Tests / Hardness Pr

  The development of our Assembly Technology Expert services improves the use of fasteners in prototypes, new or existing products, and current assembly processes. But they are also useful for having you focus on fasteners when you’re still designing it through the Expert Design method. What is Expert Design? When you create a new product, beating the competition while maintaining high quality and safety standards and minimizing the time to market is no small feat. Integrating fastening functions can be demanding, even though the function of a fastener is often seen as trivial. Based on 3D prototyping and CAD Big Data Analytics, our Expert Design method recommends ways to use materials and optimize assembly to increase the success of the final product. The benefits include a better in-place cost because you choose the best fastening option, lower production cost due to faster assembly processes, and a lower life-cycle cost because the incorporation of the correct fastening solutions

It may be surprising to learn that only 15 percent of the total cost of a fastener comes from itself. The remaining 85 percent stems from other activities like procurement, logistics, and assembly prep. So, if you’re looking to reduce costs by examining your fasteners, you need to reduce the number of different ones that you use. Helping you define what fasteners to rely on is the core of Expert Assortment Analysis . It assists you in determining head shapes, recess types, materials, property classes, plating's, and dimensions. When utilizing this method, there are many advantages: Cut unnecessary elements by looking for similarities and substituting when possible. Reduce the complexities of purchasing, warehousing, and assembly by defining the fastener assortment from which you can pick. Increase productivity, which improves profitability. You can choose from three service packages: Basic analyzes your entire production line to look at the as
