Helicoil Wire Inserts for Modern Manufacturing

 Helicoil Wire Inserts for Modern Manufacturing | LPS Bossard India

In the dynamic world of manufacturing and engineering, fasteners play a critical role in ensuring the strength and longevity of assembled components. However, issues like stripped threads, wear, and damage often compromise threaded connections. Helicoil inserts provide a reliable solution, reinforcing threads and restoring functionality across a wide range of applications.

What are Helicoil Inserts?

Helicoil inserts are precision-engineered coils of wire with a diamond-shaped cross-section, designed to be installed into tapped holes. Once in place, they form a durable internal thread that is often stronger than the parent material. This makes them particularly effective in softer metals such as aluminum, as well as plastics, composites, and even wood.

Helicoil in 3-D Printed Manufacturing

As additive manufacturing grows, post-processing becomes essential for functional parts. Threaded joints in 3-D printed components benefit greatly from helicoil inserts, ensuring repeat assembly and disassembly without thread degradation. They create clean, engineered threads that extend the life of printed components.

Helicoil and Composite Panels

Composite materials, especially honeycomb core and skinned panels, pose challenges for creating reliable mounting points. With core blocking, a solid block of material can be integrated into the panel, drilled, and fitted with a helicoil insert - providing a strong and stable threaded connection.

Suitable for High-Volume Production

Beyond repair and prototyping, helicoils support high-volume manufacturing. Power tools and strip-feed systems enable quick, repeatable installation, suitable for both hand-held and mounted operations. This ensures efficiency and precision in production environments.

From aerospace origins to modern applications, helicoil inserts have become indispensable in industries leveraging lightweight materials, composites, and 3-D printed parts. With a variety of types and coatings available, Bossard’s Assembly Technology Experts can help you find the right insert for your application.

Cable Entry Solutions: Grommets, Cable Glands, and Bushings Explained

Image
  Effective cable management is essential for ensuring safety, protecting wires, and enhancing the longevity of electrical installations. Cable entry solutions, including grommets, cable glands, and bushings , play a crucial role in safeguarding cables from damage, organizing them efficiently, and preventing potential hazards. Cable Grommets: Purpose and Types A cable grommet is a small but vital component used for cable management . It protects cables from abrasion, insulates electrical wiring, and prevents dust, dirt, and moisture from entering through cable holes. Additionally, grommets offer a neat and organized appearance while reducing the risk of electrical shock. Types of Grommets: Rubber Grommets: Made from thermoplastic rubber or EPDM, these provide excellent resistance to abrasion and protect cables in dynamic environments. Plastic Grommets: Typically made from nylon or PVC, they are lightweight and durable, suitable for less demanding applications. Grommets a...

Internal Logistics and the Importance of Last Mile Management

Image
How your enterprise manages its logistics determines its success and profitability. External logistics, or the flow of materials and final goods from production to the marketplace, is a well-understood concept that most people grasp.  Internal logistics also involves the flow of goods and materials. But as the name implies, said flow is managed internally to replenish work cells within the production center. Internal logistics deals with how goods and materials are stored, distributed and managed in-house, with accountability, trackability and, visibility key goals.  Material replenishment is the key to maintaining efficient production processes, especially those that take advantage of the milk run / water spider. Last Mile Management provides an elegant solution for internal logistics, providing a clear pathway for effective supply chain management .  How Bossard Optimizes the Last Mile  Bossard’s Last Mile Management incorporates many beneficial features that help...
