    The 3rd generation assembly process fastener, a game-changing innovation

    A bolt is a two-component threaded fastening system, comprising a nut and a screw. It is an easy-to-install dismountable system.

    Preparation of parts to be fitted together is easy as it only requires the parts to be drilled through with a low accuracy. The assembly is completed in a single step and only requires a basic equipment such as a pneumatic or electric screwdriver or a wrench.

    The cost of fasteners is low as they are common parts made in the billions.

    The costs associated with the setting of the bolt may represent up to 10 times the cost of the bolt itself.

    The 3rd generation assembly process fastener, a game-changing innovation

    The 2nd generation of fasteners emerged in the 1920s, became more widely used after 1945, and is still here today. It has involved engineered fasteners such as self-clinching nuts, cage nuts, blind rivet nuts, weld nuts and threaded inserts, helping prepare the metal sheet support by setting a threaded component prior to the assembly by itself, but still using nuts and bolts separately.

    This attachment phase requires specific setting equipment as well as adjustment and monitoring of the relevant process.

    The cost of engineered components is higher than standard bolts but they allow a significant overall time saving in the assembly and an easier repeatability of the process.
