In modern assembly lines cost saving and component optimisation are a decisive competitive factor. By omitting production steps such as drilling, thread cutting, cleaning as well as optimisation in the field of tooling, warehousing and shorter cycle times, the total costs of a screw joint can be reduced by up to 30% with the use of a threadforming screw. For that reason, ‘threadforming in light metal’ will become more and more important for the market, especially with challenging designs. (…)
