FisherCast Global’s automated IMA joining technology combines multi-step assembly and manufacturing into a low-cost, single step solution. Marketed under the Snap-Line brand, Dirak’s new handles require no screws for installation. Snap-Line handles hold securely in place, even in severe vibration environments. The Master L- and H-Series from Kabelschlepp GmbH are lightweight, silent cable and hose carriers with a variable carrier width. Angle joints serve as linking and guiding elements for movable parts and create corner joints. Spiralock Corporation has re-engineered the standard internal (female) thread form and added a unique 30° wedge ramp at the root of the thread. There are tapes which dissolve in water while others solve heat management problems in your car’s engine. When your life depends on a single rope, you want corresponding hardware that is up to the task. Impact riveting, where a solid or hollow rivet is formed with a single blow, is one of the oldest joining methods and often considered to be ‘low technology’ suitable for high volume assemblies Dirak, a leader in latch and hinge systems, designs its products using a
functional design feature – modularity. This feature enables Dirak’s
standardised mass-produced products to be used even for highly customised
applications. Recoil products from Alcoa Fastening Systems (AFS) are used to repair
damaged or create strong new screw threads and accommodate a variety of
applications in the electronics, power generation, transportation industries and the
automotive aftermarket. Powerful four-stroke outboard engines, which can have 200+ hp ratings, must
meet environmental gas and oil emission standards. Although explosive decompression (ED) is generally found in the oil
industry, it can occur wherever there is a rapid drop in gas pressure. ED
damage has been discovered in sealing applications ranging from paint guns
to fire extinguishers, stern glands to refrigeration systems. A budget-priced, heavy duty latch is the latest addition to the range of
quick-action fasteners from Protex. Anti-galling HeliCoil wire thread inserts were initially developed for the
semiconductor machinery builders to overcome ‘self welding’ problems when
mating stainless steel threads were subjected to highly corrosive cleaning
agents. A new laser system from Rofin-Baasel UK allows easy-tear scribed lines to be
made across a web, allowing packaging machine manufacturers to offer
equipment capable of producing easy-opening packaging. prev    next
