• Certification for worldwide use

  Posted in Fasteners manufacturers, Industry 4.0, Innovation on Jun 01, 2022

  FM approval for EJOT flat roof products

  19.05.2022, EJOT SE & Co. KG – Market Unit Construction

  A wide range of EJOT flat roof fasteners has been tested and approved for use by the American FM Approvals testing institute in combination with various types of roofing membranes. The necessary tests for this approval essentially correspond to the European approval ETA and confirm the safety, reliability and durability of the EJOT flat roof fasteners. The FM approval is a further step for the worldwide use of the products.

  The background: In Europe, fasteners are usually tested on the basis of an EEAS and thus approved for use with all roofing membranes. However, the American FM Approvals testing institute, which is connected to the global insurance company FM Global, tests the entire system consisting of fastener, substructure, insulation material and roof sheet in an individual test. A comprehensive series of tests with various fastener/roofing membrane combinations has now been approved by FM Approvals.

  An increasing number of investors and building owners in Europe are demanding the American quality certificate (FM Approvals Standard 4470). FM approval can be relevant for construction projects of internationally operating companies. These are already required in the tender in order to comply with FM Global's insurance standards.

  A list of all approved products is available from the central Roofnav database (www.roofnav.com).

• How to prevent premature fastener failures with heat treatment

  Posted in Fasteners manufacturers, Industry 4.0, Innovation, Manufacturing technology on May 18, 2022

  

  Quality control of safety-critical parts

  Heat treatment is very important for automotive safety fasteners. It’s a delicate process which could be monitored by the modern Industry 4.0 technologies but still requires a final 100% analysis of each part before the shipment, in order to fulfill the automotive supply chain requirements.

  Heat Treatment Control is surely a kind of NDT (Non Destructive Testing) inspection on which Dimac invested important R&D energies during the past 3 years, reaching nowadays outstanding performances in terms of sorting rate and inspection accuracy.

  Partnering with the most important NDT device manufacturers for the HT detection, Dimac has renewed all the machines of the range with state of the art NDT Stations capable to perform this crucial control with the highest accuracy and productivity rate.

  The eddy current station scans the part by mean of 24 different frequencies to detect any minimum variation of the material structure, as well as to detect plating and surface coating problems in order to prevent any premature fastener failures.

  This type of control is mandatory for safety-critical parts belonging to the Power Train or to the brake system, or any application where fasteners are subject to constant vibration or exposed to corrosion.

  The man-machine interface of the Dimac application for HT detection is really user-friendly. The setup is intuitive, thanks to the multi frequency testing process made simple by a wizard procedure which easily recognizes and sort out any fastener with deviations from the expected signal envelope.

  A clear saving of time and costs

  The brand new generation glass rotary table machine Dimac mcv6 is the model getting more benefits – together with the best seller model mcv5 – from the application of the HT NDT technology in terms of savings of time and costs. The innovative eddy current station allows to sort a wide range of complex parts by hardness classes with high output rates.

  The HT station of the Dimac mcv5 and mcv6 uses two state of the art eddy current coil-probes: a reference probe at the operator’s workplace and a testing probe which is positioned above the glass table. The system provides instant results while running, allowing to process up to 300 parts/minute.

  The setup procedure is based on a teach-in process and requires boundary OK and NOK samples available at the operator’s place.

  The setup sequence could be summarized as follows:

  • the operator puts one OK sample into the reference coil-probe;
  • the eddy current device detects the magnetic permeability of that OK sample;
  • the operator enables the wizard procedure to record the reference data from the reference-coil probe;
  • the batch of parts to be sorted can be put in the feeding system;
  • the operator runs the sorting of a first quantity of 20÷30 pieces to teach-in the response of the testing-coil, then the machine is stopped;
  • the eddy current device compares the OK part reference data with the signal generated by the passage of the 30 pieces below the testing coil;
  • the wizard procedure and its algorithm calculate the envelope of the taught-in signals and sets automatically the sorting threshold values;
  • nothing else to do for the operator, he just has to press the START CYCLE button and run the sorting machine;

  however, the system allows the operator to adjust the threshold and improve the accuracy of the setup in case of need.

  The new concept cuts the time and costs of the 100% sorting process by making the operators’ tasks far more efficient, as well as by expediting the quality management job.

• Innovative anchoring intelligence fischer launches DuoXpand frame fixing

  Posted in Fasteners manufacturers, Industry 4.0, Innovation on Feb 02, 2022

  The fixing specialist fischer is launching its new DuoXpand frame fixing on the market. The ingenious combination of materials and design as well as various anchoring depths that suit the respective anchor substrate guarantee a secure and flexible application in solid and hollow construction materials. In addition to a hexagon head, the plug is also available with a countersunk head screw, making it suitable for various metal and timber applications.

  The fastening expert fischer is presenting the newcomer to its successful fischer DuoLine with the new DuoXpand frame fixing. The product family now consists of five intelligent plugs with an innovative combination of materials. With its latest addition, the DuoLine now covers multiple applications and construction materials. The ingenious combination of materials and design guarantees a particularly firm bite in all anchor substrates.

  The special lamella geometry gently expands in the respective construction material while the intelligent design guarantees even load distribution in solid building materials. In perforated brick, the lamellae expand along the stone fillet and form an undercut in the cavities. Thanks to its gentle force transmission even in porous construction materials, fractures are avoided and anchorages can be placed close to edges without issue. Made of high-quality nylon, the grey main body offers a strong hold while the red material component ensures flexibility and optimal expansion. The European Technical Assessment (ETA) for multiple use for non-structural systems certifies its secure hold in all building material classes. The expansion element with two anchoring depths increases flexibility with 50 mm in concrete, solid and hollow construction materials and 70 mm in all building material classes, from concrete to aerated concrete. Two additional anchoring depths of 140 and 160 mm expand the range of applications to hollow construction materials with large cavities.

  DuoXpand is available with a countersunk head screw and a conical shaped plug rim, variants which are particularly suitable for timber construction fastenings. The additional DuoXpand FUS versions with hexagon screws and moulded washers also allow a diverse range of metal construction applications, during which the wide plug rim avoids contact corrosion between the fixture and screw for a permanent, secure fixing. The respective version with a countersunk head or a hexagon screw can be used to carry out facade, ceiling and roof substructures made of wood and metal. The frame fixing’s wide range of applications also includes windows, gates and doors, wardrobes, kitchen cupboards, joists, beams, TV units, wall claddings, metal brackets and much more.

  The product is simple and easy to use: Simply position the fixture with the DuoXpand using the push-through installation method, tighten with the screw, and done. The object is now permanently and safely anchored. The pre-mounted safety screw is perfectly suited to the plug and saves time during installation. At market launch, the DuoXpand is available in countersunk head and hexagon screw variants in diameters of 8 and 10 and plug lengths of 80 to 120 mm (diameter 8) and 80 to 230 mm (diameter 10).

  

  Smart anchoring with bite: The DuoXpand guarantees gentle force transmission in hollow construction materials and even load distribution in solid building materials. Hexagon and countersunk head screw versions are suitable for multiple applications in metal and timber construction. Anchoring depths adapted to the construction material offer additional flexibility.

  

  The fifth member of fischer’s DuoLine family: fischer DuoXpand is an intelligent plug with an innovative combination of materials. Its grey nylon main body guarantees a firm hold, while the red material component flexibly activates the ideal expansion function for the respective building material.

  

  A clever shaft for a high retention force: With its intelligent design, the DuoXpand frame fixing gently expands in the lamellae along the stone fillet in perforated brick and forms an undercut in the cavities, guaranteeing even load distribution in solid building materials.

  

  Sophisticated from the plug rim to the expanding part: DuoXpand activates the most suitable function in solid and hollow construction materials, guaranteeing high retention forces and permanent safety.

• EISENWARENMESSE – INTERNATIONAL HARDWARE FAIR COLOGNE moved to September 2022

  Posted in Fairs and exhibitions, Fastener distribution, Fastener suppliers, Fasteners manufacturers on Jan 24, 2022

  One-time postponement to the fall will ensure maximum participation from exhibitors and visitors including vital Asian sales and manufacturing markets “As the world’s leading trade fair for the hardware industry, our aim is to provide a comprehensive overview of the global market and bring together suppliers and buyers from all over the world. With this in mind, we together with the associations and exhibitors have decided to hold the EISENWARENMESSE – INTERNATIONAL HARDWARE FAIR COLOGNE from 25 to 28 September 2022, instead of the originally scheduled dates of 6 to 9 March 2022,” announced Chief Operating Officer of Koelnmesse, Oliver Frese, in Cologne today.

  Since the pandemic situation continues to develop dynamically worldwide and strict travel restrictions are expected in March, especially for important Asian overseas markets, this scenario is a win-win for everyone: Exhibitors can plan for September with a longer lead time and look forward to the usual international audience, including from Asia. Visitors can look forward to a renowned group of participants and an attractive event programme shaped by a high number of exhibiting companies.

  “With the Anuga Food Fair and International Dental Show (IDS) in the fall, we proved that trade fairs with Koelnmesse’s hygiene and safety concept are once again possible at an international level and can be carried out safely for everyone. Furthermore, our customers were very pleased with the business activities at these events,” pointed out Oliver Frese. “However, certain industry-specific conditions must be in place in order to fully leverage the power of personal exchange at an international trade show. In the case of EISENWARENMESSE – INTERNATIONAL HARDWARE FAIR COLOGNE, this power will be significantly greater in September thanks to the participation of the Asian market.”

  The Asian manufacturing and sales market plays an important role in the hardware industry. Many Asian countries have again identified Germany and large parts of Europe as a risk area due to the generally high incidence figures, and travelling from these countries will be difficult well until spring. Based on the experience from 2021 and as the global vaccination campaign progresses, the situation should look completely different in September 2022.

  The decision to postpone the EISENWARENMESSE – INTERNATIONAL HARDWARE FAIR COLOGNE was therefore made independently of the situation of other spring trade fairs in Koelnmesse’s portfolio, which have considerably different exhibitor and visitor structures in some cases.

  Full support from the industry

  “The industry needs a strong EISENWARENMESSE – INTERNATIONAL HARDWARE FAIR to build long-term success,” commented Wolfgang J. Kirchhoff, Chairman of the Advisory Board and Managing Director of Witte Tools. “If the conditions for this are better in September than in March, then postponing the date is the only logical and correct decision for the industry and the trade fair.”

  "The German tool industry is strongly export-oriented. We therefore need an internationally widely attended INTERNATIONAL HARDWARE FAIR and we are confident that we will achieve this goal with the postponement,” said Managing Director of the German association of tool manufacturers (FWI) Stefan Horst regarding the postponement.

  "First things first: we can continue to look forward to an INTERNATIONAL HARDWARE FAIR in 2022 and thus to an important instrument to prepare for the future in these turbulent times together as an industry. The postponement will enable all exhibiting companies to devote their full attention to the preparations for the fair after what is expected to be a hard winter," said Norbert Lindemann, Managing Director of Herstellerverband Haus & Garten e.V. (German Association of Home & Garden Manufacturers).

  “Trade fairs are the lifeline of our international business activities and play an immense role in helping the pandemic-battered global economy get back on its feet. The EISENWARENMESSE – INTERNATIONAL HARDWARE FAIR is one of the events that we always recommend our members attend. The fact that we will have to wait to see each other in Cologne again in no way diminishes the anticipation,” says John Herbert, General Secretary of the European DIY Retail Association/Global Home Improvement Network (EDRA/GHIN) on behalf of the international DIY markets.

  March event is not a blueprint

  Planned for a long time and ready to go – top-class informative special exhibitions and theme platforms such as the eCommerce area featuring innovative, disruptive solutions and strategies for retailers in the areas of payment, shop systems, ERP, hosting, search engine optimisation and multichannel. The digital extension EISENWARENMESSE @home will be available in September also. “Nevertheless, we do not want to just take the plans for March and use them for September: The world simply changes too quickly,” said Matthias Becker, Director of EISENWARENMESSE – INTERNATIONAL HARDWARE FAIR COLOGNE. “We will look at the current hot topics in the industry and adapt the plans accordingly.” Koelnmesse – industry trade fairs for the hardware sector: As a top international trade fair organiser, Koelnmesse is the global market leader in organising events for the hardware/ironware segment. It hosts the leading international event EISENWARENMESSE – International Hardware Fair Cologne at its trade fair grounds in Cologne, where Asia-Pacific Sourcing also showcases products, innovations and trends for homes and gardens from the Far East. In addition to the events at its Cologne headquarters, Koelnmesse is expanding its portfolio internationally in key markets: China International Hardware Show (CIHS) in Shanghai and Hardware Forum Italy in Milan are bespoke events and leading regional trade fairs. They create the foundation for sustainable, international business for their participants and bring together supply and demand within the sector with a carefully targeted approach.

• BUMAX provides reliable stainless steel fastener solution for Swiss high-performance A-Cat catamaran rudder

  Posted in Fasteners manufacturers, Industry 4.0, Innovation on Dec 20, 2021

  Swiss ship builder Scheurer Bootswerft AG has opted for screws from Swedish specialist fastener maker BUMAX to fix its high-performance catamaran rudders where standard fasteners would simply fail.

  ---

  

  High-strength BUMAX 109 screws are being used to fasten the A-Cat catamaran rudders constructed by Scheurer Bootswerft. An A-Cat catamaran has two rudders, and each Scheurer Bootswerft rudder is secured with two BUMAX 109 screws.

  BUMAX 109 fasteners have a high molybdenum content which, coupled with unique BUMAX manufacturing processes and sourcing of the highest quality European raw material, makes it the strongest A4 fastener on the market. It offers high corrosion resistance and strength in demanding applications.

  The BUMAX 109 is used for water jets, sub-sea equipment, pumps, valves, wind turbines, high-pressure equipment, nuclear plants, submarines, particle accelerators and many other applications where commodity A4 fasteners are inadequate. They provide greater safety and will last significantly longer than standard fasteners. “We originally used standard stainless steel A4 screws to fasten the rudders, but as the rudders come under very high tension when turning through the water at speed, we found that these screws were bending and eventually breaking,” said Aron Steinmann, CEO at Scheurer Bootswerft. “Even a small bend in these fasteners can alter the angle of the rudder, which reduces performance. Importantly, the high-strength BUMAX screws can cope with this high tension to keep the rudder at the correct angle while maintaining corrosion resistance in saltwater environments.”

  Scheurer Bootswerft has also found that BUMAX fasteners can cope with sudden impacts, for example when the rudder hits debris in the water.

  “The screws fastening the rudder are a simple but essential part of the catamaran as their failure can be the difference between winning or losing a race,” said Steinmann. “They simply cannot be allowed to fail.”

  BUMAX is a Swedish manufacturer of premium stainless steel fasteners located in the Swedish “steel belt”. BUMAX is known as the strongest stainless steel bolt in the world – providing optimal safety and reliability to fasteners in the most demanding of applications.

  Scheurer Bootswerft AG is a specialist ship builder based in Nidau, northwest Switzerland. The company has built A-Cat catamaran for regatta around the world for around 40 years. The A-Cat sailing class, often abbreviated to A-Cat, is a development class sailing catamaran for singlehanded racing.

• FISCHER: All-in-one systems for multifunctional façades

  Posted in Fastener distribution, Industry 4.0 on Jul 07, 2021

  The fischer façade systems business unit of the fischer Group of Companies offers innovative and high-quality all-in-one solutions for the secure and aesthetic installation of rear-ventilated façades. The company also offers a wide range of services, as the fischer specialists support plan-ners and façade builders with consultation and calculation services from the briefing and installation stage across all construction phases until the project’s successful comple-tion.

  Building envelopes must meet ever growing requirements. Rear-ventilated façades meanwhile have to fulfil increasingly complex requirements in terms of sustainability, safety, protec-tion, air conditioning and a distinguished appearance. fischer fa-çade systems guarantee a positive ecological balance through high energy savings and a consistent circular flow economy, a long service life plus the advantage of creative freedom.

  Creative freedom and functionality

  The visible or concealed fischer fastenings are suitable for all standard cladding materials for rear-ventilated façades and fulfil every aesthetic requirement. The modern façade technology also provides a healthy indoor climate, as rear-ventilated rooms constantly dissipate the moisture from the structure and living spaces. The fischer façade systems provide additional benefits such as simple, easy and fast installation, low maintenance requirements, a long service life, effective protection against weather conditions and high energy efficiency. In addition to a permanent and secure hold and efficient thermal insulation, the functional and technical advantages also include the option to install a fireproof barrier and non-flammable insulating material, integrated lightning protection through a conductive substruc-ture as well as improved soundproofing.

  A wide range of substructure solutions

  Fischer’s all-in-one system of compatible products with tested and approved individual components includes a comprehensive range of substructure solutions. With the acquisition of BWM Fassadensysteme GmbH from Leinfelden-Echterdingen in 2018, the portfolio of the fischer Group of Companies expanded considerably. fischer now offers various substructures to fasten rear-ventilated façades from a single source. The solutions range from visible fastenings for lightweight panels using rivets or drilling screws to hook solutions for façade cassettes as well as aesthetically appealing concealed fastenings with the fischer Zykon panel anchors FZP II. The comprehensive range for alu-minium supporting structures features systems that enable ex-tensive prefabrication, simple application and fast installation. These also include substructure solutions that have been spe-cially tailored to the problem areas of rear-ventilated structures, such as variable systems and systems with thermal isolation to the benefit of improved energy efficiency and sustainability. The ATK 601 stand-off anchor construction fulfils high requirements for fully pre-insulated façades or for the renovation of ETICS systems with rear-ventilated façades and ZeLa brackets. Both supporting structures have been declared “certified passive house components” by the independent Passivhaus Institute certification body. The certificate contains all parameters (punc-tual thermal transmission coefficients) and documents the unique position of the supporting structures compared to conventional wall constructions available on the market. The ATK 601 and the ZeLa bracket provide added benefits with their high planning reliability and broad range of applications.

  The right solution for any fastening application

  The façade panels can be visibly fastened using rivets or drilling screws, while ceramic tiles can be fastened with brackets. An-gled metal cassettes can be attached to the façade with bolt suspensions. The fischer undercut anchors provide a form-fit fastening without expansion pressure in the conical undercut drill hole and are concealed when viewed from the building’s exterior. The undercut anchor system is completed by the well-engineered and compatible drilling and installation technology as well as additional accessories. Thanks to its broad range of undercut anchors, fischer is able to attach almost any type of cladding material to the façade. It is therefore possible to use façade panels made out of natural stone from a thickness of 20 mm, single-pane and laminated safety glass from a glass thick-ness of 8 mm, as well as ceramic tiles, fibre cement and HPL plates from a thickness of 8 mm. Individual panels or even all panels can subsequently be exchanged with ease through the use of hook-on profiles. Even reveal panels can be fastened easily and with a high degree of flexibility. The varied panel thicknesses can be compensated through the use of stand-off anchor types. This method also allows the realisation of an ele-ment façade as well as factory prefabrication. The long-established technology of the fischer undercut an-chors enables the bending stress of the panel to be reduced by up to 50 per cent compared to standard edge fixings (mandrel, kerf cut and/or plug mandrel fixings or bracket solutions) through the statically adjustable position of the anchor in the 1/5 point on the reverse of the panel. This achieves lower slab bending moments and higher load-bearing capacities and allows more freedom during planning and execution, while better use can be made of the respective technical material properties. The opti-mised static system and increased breakout forces allow larger-sized panels of the same thickness to be used in comparison to edge fastenings. Thinner and therefore lighter panels can also be used, which are economical to purchase and transport, thereby making installation easier. The fischer façade systems business unit works in close prox-imity to markets and customers, subsidiaries and local partners across the globe. SystemTec and BWM façade systems offer compatible solutions and all-in-one systems for a market seg-ment of the future.

  Fischer all-in-one systems for rear-ventilated façades include compat-ible products with tested and approved individual components and a comprehensive range of substructure solutions.
