The manufacturing industry is moving towards a higher degree of automation as a necessary means to reach product efficiency. Apart from the cost saving this is a necessity to ensure that future environmental aspects are also meet. This calls for multi-purpose fasteners that reduces process steps in installation and limits or eliminates welding and other hazardous and polluting operations.

There is a spur in usage of lightweight material in industrial production such as Magnesium, Composite materials, Aluminium, and Bohr steel. The total use of these materials is estimated to increase with 75% until 2026. But with the exciting new opportunities these materials bring there are also challenges regarding producibility and production efficiency. We can help with that!

We like our world.

So, helping to solve new production challenges to promote more sustainable end products is of course a major driving force.

And besides, the fasteners in our mechanical joining solutions offers a clean and simple process that in most cases improves the working environment of the production line. Which usually is a good contribution to our customers in their own internal sustainability ambitions.

Looking at the production conditions and the actual demands on the fastening joint, we find the optimal solution together with our customers.

The process works in a series of steps which include onsite assessment, workshops and testing at our lab. The end solution will strive to optimize;

– Fasteners
– Automation
– Supply

Materials used, forces required, corrosion resistance, friction, mating parts info. These are all examples of input needed to find a good fastener solution.

The fastener also needs to be designed for manufacturing, keeping the production steps in the fastener production low to reduce costs and guarantee an optimal solution.
