Assembly Efficiency

Improving assembly efficiency has been a cornerstone of the products we have developed, starting with TORX® Drive System  which increased the amount of torque that could be applied to a screw with little to no endload and increased the drive tool life for end-users. The evolution of the TORX® Drive System led us to the TORX PLUS®Drive System which increased the ability to transfer torque by 20% and increased drive tool life by 2 to 10 times. The latest evolution of the Famous Torx® Drive system is the TORX PARALOBETM Drive System which increased the ability to transfer torque by 20% over TORX PLUS® and increased drive tool life by 100%. For these Drive Systems we have created stick fit driver bit designs to aid in assembly. Additionally the AUTOSERT® feature was developed for TORX PLUS® and TORX PARALOBETM Drive Systems which allows for higher rpm engagement of the drive tool, reducing assembly time and increasing productivity.

The Strux®  family of clinch studs and nuts allow stamping suppliers to provide a fastener staked into their product reducing the handling and assembly cost.

See our Products  section for more information on how each of our products makes assembly more efficient.
