107 HELICOIL thread inserts are known to transfer forces from flank to flank into the holding thread to create high-strength joints in lowstrength materials such as aluminium, magnesium and fibre-reinforced plastics. What is new about the HELICOIL Smart: it has a tang that does not need to be broken. The installation mandrel bends it backward during spinning-off and then compresses it into the holding thread. There is no tang break or removal. This is the starting signal for the new generation of thread technology for high-strength joints. HELICOIL Automation Never losing economic efficiency and quality out of sight, the respective processing system was also developed further. By intertwining fastener know-how and competence in automation, efficient solutions have been created. Processing systems for the integration into automation systems as well as into complete systems are available. At Böllhoff, the focus is on the customer requirements. All HELICOIL automations — components as well as complete systems — feature a built-in control, drive and operating system with high flexibility and connectivity for linked system concepts. The advantages — an overview: 100 % process monitoring Economic, automated manufacture Low personnel occupation Quick retooling Saving potential through parallel processing of upstream and downstream installation steps Suited for large-scale production Customised solutions Process-relevant parameter monitoring: Installation depth control and monitoring Torque and compression monitoring during installation — also to detect non-conforming holding threads According to the customer requirements, pick-and-place or blow feed systems are used for the automatic feed of HELICOIL Smart thread inserts. Since it is a system of high economic efficiency, the fast-working blow feed system is particularly suited for large-scale productions. Depending on the type of system, several screwdriver systems can be supplied by one separation unit through the respective switches. The screwdriver systems and the parts separation (incl. hopper system) can also be placed separately at some distance toward each other so that the system layout is very flexible. Innovative industries need innovative partners As you are used to with Böllhoff, fastener and automation of the HELICOIL thread technology come from a single source. In cooperation with our customers, adapted concepts can be elaborated — as always living our “Passion for successful joining”. Joining technology From “1 to 1 million” — automation solution in the HELICOIL thread technology By Annette Löwen, Leader Marketing FAT Germany at Böllhoff Verbindungstechnik GmbH Böllhoff has just announced the quantum leap which they realised in the thread technology with the HELICOIL Smart. Now, another innovation from the joining technology expert already follows suit: the HELICOIL Smart Automation.
