A cross secion of applications

The applications of the High Torque Engineering are wide and varied and cross a multitude of industries. Where sheet metal and components need to be held together in many and varied conditions the system in most cases can be adapted to suit and deliver cost savings.

White goods and catering have many and varied issues that need to be addressed in order to remain competitive but still keep the quality of the product to the highest standards.

To the left challenges of a structural nature and vitreous enamel required a minor modification to the original thread. It must be remembered that the system is based on material thickness and diameter.

Stainless steel is used extensively in this area and is a high cost material that must be reduced in thickness where ever possible. High Torque screws can be manufactured in many materials and can be plated with a vast array of modern coatings.

Automotive

The automotive sector is demanding and has a fluid manufacturing base. The demands on automotive manufactures are wide and varied including the myriad of legislation that must be adhered to.

Issues of reducing inventory, weight, process and safety all have to be given significant attention. A vehicle that is lighter, stronger and has less impact on the environment are just some of the demands placed on automotive designers. The system is well placed to assist with this challenge primarily because it was designed from scratch to address today's and tomorrows demands. 

The modern nature of office furniture, storage and internal building structures demand a level of flexibility and turn round time that puts constant pressure on manufactures to save money.

The nature of this type of business is perfectly suited to the capabilities of the system primarily due to immediate impact on cost and easy implementation.

Far bottom left, domestic gas boilers are a challenging but straight forward application of the system and at varying levels deliver manufacturing cost saving.

Consumer and infrastructure electronics have electronic emissions to meet and tend to be manufactured in thin gauge in high volume.

The application to the left is a good example of the High Torque System and internal design engineers working together to produce a satisfactory cost down currently manufactured in China.

Electrics and electronics range from heavy duty step down transformers and 19” racking systems to the Marconi style telephone system. This group of applications require entirely different approaches to their conversions but all have arrived at planned destination.

Heavy duty stainless steel electrical boxes that had to pass a water/vapour ingression test (IP66) and in this case be in a very hostile salt water environment.

Domestic and industrial fuse and switching boxes come in many shapes and sizes but can be analysed using the system and give the cost savings required.

Inserts themselves have there own demands and can actually drive up cost or prevent the designer from working on different approaches because they require a minimum thickness to function.

The challenge in working with light fittings is the very thin nature of the gauge but again there are always opportunities for improvements with the right approach.
