Wire thread inserts save on
manufacturing costs
Using helical wire thread inserts on the production lines has saved Automotive manufacturers thousands of Pounds, save weight and add strength.
WTI Fasteners have saved Automotive manufacturers thousands of Pounds recently by using helical wire thread inserts on the production lines Many manufacturers incorporate Wire Thread Inserts into their designs to exploit weak/light weight materials to save weight and gain strength, additionally they are used to repair worn or damaged/stripped threads
When used this results in the thread being the original size but far superior than the original design as they are heat and corrosion resistant, very hard wearing and ultra strong as bolts can be broken without damaging the female threads.
New easy to use 1/4in hex inserting tools available to try for yourself, Bolt breaking demonstrations, power tooling, inserts, taps and thread repair kits will all be demonstrated on the stand at the March Midlands manufacturing exhibition and at the Fastener fair in May 2003.
