Facing Down Your Toughest Design Challenges

Every day you face challenges when designing your application. Some challenges you can work around, some can derail you if you’re not careful and others you haven’t even thought of yet. 

At Auto Bolt, we understand many of the challenges you face and can help you navigate through them. We’re used to guiding engineers through:

Assembly challenges. This is an area where customers can lose a lot of time due to inconsistency across parts. Sometimes a simple dimensional change needs to be made to the part. Sometimes you need to adjust the lead on the thread or thread length to get proper engagement. Sometimes it’s adjusting other features such as head dimensions, body, or length. We’ve been there, we can help. 

Corrosion challenges. Environment and temperature changes can wreak havoc on your application. We’re working diligently with our platers and our customers to prevent premature failure due to corrosion. 

Inconsistent clamp load challenges. You’ve been trying to get a certain clamp load for the fastener and your entire assembly must be tight. But you’re just not getting there. Maybe a simple coefficient of friction change might help. Maybe it’s a bigger issue. We’ve seen it all and we work with the leading industry plating chemical suppliers and platers shops.

Material challenges. You have a strength requirement and you want to assure the material is up to the task. We make material recommendations every day. 

Constraint challenges. Your assembly has certain parameters. Your fastener needs to fit, no ifs, ands or buts. We specialize in making the part fit the assembly in a specific way. 

Aesthetic challenges. The head marking has to be pristine and the parts have to look good right out of the box. We can talk you through the pros and cons required to overcome that challenge.

Delivery challenges. The order must deliver on time. Period. We understand. Period. 

At Auto Bolt, we know everyone has challenges. But the solutions to each challenge are unique to each customer. Whether you’re talking to our sales rep, quality team or engineers, we’ll listen to your needs and craft the proper solution to make sure your application is done right the first time.

Let us help you tackle your most difficult challenges.
