In the aerospace industry, aerospace and defence testing and approval is critical to the durability and efficiency of fastening and tooling products. Supporting the development of new products for any given market offers maximum value to customers who rely on durability in extreme temperatures, such as deploying military on missions or building an aircraft strong […]

First developed in the US more than 35 years ago, The Click Bond fastening system has revolutionised the aerospace industry and opened doors to various applications, tasks, and methods. Click Bond offers unmatched performance and precision, and its state-of-the-art tools have proved critical for land, sea, and air applications. These innovative adhesive bonds benefit areas […]

Cable tie mounts are an innovative product for a range of applications, providing proper cable management to aviation, electrical, industrial, mining, transport, motorsport, and marine industries. A cable tie mount is a convenient tool, time and time again used by professionals in these critical sectors who rely on them. This article will explore the uses […]

In the highly specialised field of defence manufacturing, tools must be reliable, accurate, and strong enough to handle all environments. One of the most important types of equipment used in this industry is countersink tools.  Countersink tools support the creation of conical holes with a drill press machine, a cone-shaped edge near the surface of […]

The honeycomb insert is a critical component of aircraft design in the aircraft industry. Constructed using aluminium sheets, these are bonded together to create a hexagonal structure resembling a beehive. With their unique geometric design, these hexagonal cells create a high strength-to-weight ratio, forming a grid and distributing weight across the aircraft without making it […]

The motorsport industry demands precision, safety, and high performance. Critical components like fasteners keep these aerodynamic vehicles intact in high-stakes environments.  Motorsport fasteners are important for keeping all parts together even at high speeds, extreme pressures exerted by the vehicle’s structure, constant vibrations that can loosen ordinary fasteners, and intense temperatures generated by high-speed racing. […]

Commercial aircraft are complex machines that need a combination of intricate systems, including cable management systems, to function safely and efficiently. From safety to maintenance, technical operation and performance, cabling plays a vital role in various aviation industry sectors.  Depending on the model, size and scale, an average airliner can contain up to 600 km […]

In the defence and military industries, communication is critical to successful missions, securing equipment, and safety. Military communications are secretive, so precautions must be taken to block attacks on outgoing and incoming communication. Now more than ever, the military is susceptible to sabotage. Handheld devices, radar jamming, electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attacks, and more drive the […]

Choosing between bonding or welding can make a major difference to the quality and durability of your future design. If you’re a metal fabricator in the navy industry, a strict set of specifications must be met, including structural integrity, safety, and structural degradation.  Manufacturing processes also depend on the structure’s geometry, loading conditions, corrosion, and […]
