Aircraft structures such as wings, flaps, tails, etc., must be structurally sound for thousands of flights. Each aircraft must withstand temperature changes, weather fluctuations, and high air pressure from ascent to descent. This is where fasteners such as Composi-Lok and Visu-Lok are so critical to aerospace fasteners projects.  With high shear, tensile, fatigue, and self-locking […]

Critical aerospace applications need appropriate tooling to handle extreme conditions in the aerospace industry. The wrong tooling, on the other hand, can have detrimental effects and pose a serious safety risk to all parties involved.  Offering high-performance aerospace fastening, Eddie Bolt tools is one of the most important tools in the industry.  Eddie-bolt pins and […]

Used to carry various wires or rope materials, cable reeling drums or a cable drum is essential for transporting various components. This includes everything from electrical cables to fibre optic cables and wire products. As such, cable reeling has become integral to heavy-duty industries such as construction, entertainment, telecommunications, electrical, mining, and transportation.  This article […]

Aerospace and defence sectors require the best in manufacturing, and cold working fasteners and equipment are one of many applications that keep aircraft operational in the toughest conditions. Eliminating or reducing crack growth around the hole, the primary function of cold working fastener holes is to strengthen metallic components. Producing this residual compressive stress zone […]

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 […]
