Stable, efficient and long-lasting tightening thanks to the certified quality of VIPA threaded joints

From statistical data it emerges that in the industrial and construction sectors, around 80% of all assembly operations require screwing. Around 30% of structure quality problems arise from incorrect screwing processes. So the question is: what is the perfect tightening torque for ensuring the stable, efficient and long-lasting installation of a threaded joint? In truth there is no single way to achieve perfect tightening, rather there are many, each depending on the joint’s field of application and intended use, both crucial conditions for tightening methods.

Efficiency, precision and speed for cutting edge logistics; the VIPA automated warehouse

The concept of warehouse automation is revolutionising contemporary industrial logistics. The automated warehouse first came about in the noughties and is a system in which most operative activities: picking, inventory management, are executed by machines and robotised systems. (more…)

Structural wood screws (also called “construction” screws) are gradually replacing the traditional lag screws for carpentry over the last few years.

The reason of their rise in the world of fasteners is related to the convenience they offer in any heavy duty structural application. (more…)

A washer for each task

Washers are multipurpose fasteners that due their versatility are largely employed in the manufacturing, assembling and various other industrial sectors along with screws, nuts and bolts.

Even though washers are manufactured in large variety of shapes and dimensions, they consist of a thin plate disc with a hole in the middle which assures the tightening of threaded fasteners. (more…)
