Nuts and bolt aren't the only types of fasteners used in product assembly. Retaining rings, Speed Nuts and a variety of other specialized metal and plastic fasteners have been developed. These specialty fasteners can often save time in the assembly process, eliminate the need for additional fastening components, lower manufacturing costs and maximize holding power.
LEAK TESTING IS AN engineering challenge. On one hand, engineers must meet stricter leak rate standards. On the other, they have to make the leak testing process less costly and less dependent on operator skill. To meet this dilemma, engineers must understand all aspects of the leak testing process.
Assembly by Die Casting is used as the joining medium to assemble multiple small components up to 6 in. (150 mm) in diameter, and as the production method to form additional components directly on the assembly.
Structural adhesives are designed to bond metal to metal or to plastic, fiberglass or other substrates. Typical adhesives include two-component epoxies or modified acrylics.
Ultrasonic technology is providing Lasko Products with reliable, consistent bonding in the assembly of reservoir jugs for its humidifiers and other household appliances.
In appliance applications where access to a unit or disassembly for service may be required, specialized types of self-clinching fasteners have been developed.
