I
n these days during which we are overwhelmed of the effects of
Covid-19, I would like to share with you a more personal matter in
this issue.
I can say that the "Away" series on Netflix inspired me to write about
these. The series tells the story of five astronauts traveling to Mars.
First, the main water system on the spacecraft is malfunctioning and
the astronauts must repair it to survive, by removing 145 fasteners
from the water system and putting them back in place. Fixing parts
is difficult due to the gravity-free environment and requires extreme
attention. The loss of a single nut or bolt would render the water
system dysfunctional, and the astronauts would die of dehydration
on their seven-month spaceflight. It would be grave if the story of
humankind first set foot on Mars failed for such a reason. Fortunately,
turns out to be that wasn't the case ☺. However, every single one of
those tiny fasteners was vital in that position.
While watching, I thought that there are no compromises in quality
production and quality control standards, especially in fasteners
produced to be used in the aerospace and automotive industries.
Although I already knew this as someone who had been in the
aviation industry for 15 years in the past. During my years as a cabin
supervisor, there was a saying that was frequently reminded to us
about security, "The rules in aviation are written in blood". Indeed,
every rule has been established after an accident or breakdown.
Discipline and non-compromise in the application of the rules are
extremely important in technical matters as well as operational issues.
All aviators know what a loose bolt can cause in an airplane. An out of
place or dysfunctional bolt can make a plane “No Go”, which means
waste of time and extra cost.
Everything is interconnected like links in the chain, and if a few
mistakes come together, disaster scenarios can be inevitable. It is
important to follow all the established rules, starting from production
to end users. There should be a goal of setting international standards
and improving quality control mechanisms every day. Because we
don't have the luxury to say just "sorry" for unrecoverable incidents. YENİ DEVİR MATBAASI
Fasteners are with us in every aspect of our lives; in elevators,
planes, vehicles, household items, electronics, teeth and body. I think
that studies and R&D for this sector must be supported.
Fasteners are small, but the purposes they serve are huge.

ANALYSIS
FASTENER MARKET
In Italy, the development of Fastener Industry is
supported by local associations and fastener fairs
organized in the country. The intensive participation
of Italian producers and exporters in international
fairs keeps the sector alive and open to sectoral
developments As there are many manufacturers
still working inward many of them work in the world
through representatives also supports faster access,
international trade and globalization.
The most important reason why Italy is one of the
leading countries both in Europe and in the world
in the fasteners sector is that it has an improved
quality in fastener technologies such as machine,
die, wire and in customized fastener products. The
fact that there are many Italian companies selling
machines, dies and wire to the world is a sign of
this quality. There are also many Italian companies
in die design and software that are quite advanced.
Many of the second-hand machines used by the
newly-emerging countries in the fasteners sector
are Italian. Italy is also known for its quality in the
production of packaging machines, coatings and
heat treatment plants. The fact that 30-40 year old

Japanese Takasho Gigen

Develops 3-Point
Anti-loosening Bolts
T
akasho Gigen combines 3 nuts for a new 3-point anti-
loosening bolt. The company puts a custom-shape nut
between two nuts with their surface inclined inward to
generate a strong fastening force. The new bolt can be used on
steel towers and bridges and mass-produced at any time desired.
The company is planning to provide manufacturing license.
The key for generating a strong fastening force is the custom-
shape nut which has an 11-degree inward declined circular
surface containing notches. First, the stainless steel nuts and
threads have different starting positions, which generates
pressure to the side of the threads during the fastening process.
Second, the notches on the iron nut will bend the circular inclined
surface inward by 0.4 mm in diameter. The company makes use
of these two phenomena to generate a fastening force. Lastly, the
fastening force generated from surface width of the two stainless
steel nuts, together with the first two phenomena, form a 3-point
vibration resistance feature.

RIV609: Doubles
Productivity
Efficiency becomes automatic with
RIV609, the automatic system for blind
rivets, which transforms the loading of the
rivet into a time-saving operation.
T
he reduction in blind rivets loading time is an essential goal for industrial
applications.
This is why Rivit developed and patented an automatic system, which loads
the rivet directly on the head of the riveting tool.
The use of this system eliminates the contact between the operator’s hand and
the body of the fastener in the loading phase, assuring more productivity and
higher safety.
RIV609 usually comes with RIV503, and can be customized for any tool with
mandrel suction.
RIV609 is a patented automatic feeder for standard blind rivets, available in 2
models:
- Ø 3.2 mm, with 18mm max. length
- Ø 4.0/4.8mm, with 18mm max. length (head non bigger than d. 9.8mm)
Now just consider the below comparison:

Znal reduces waste due to the cap design, which is firmly
attached to multiple points on the screw body, including
under the bearing surface as well as onto the hex head of
the body of the screw.
Znal is also stronger than most commercial fasteners
due to the cap's composition of Zamak 5 or Zinc Alloy 5
with a higher copper content , which is stronger than the
standard Zamak 3 used in other products' caps.
The indented cap seats properly with all major brands of

igh strength, vibration resistant, and eco-friendly, the
NeoBolt® non-breakstem lockbolt fastening system
is designed for use in heavy-duty structural appli-
cations. This unique two-piece fastener design features
locking grooves for strength and vibration resistance.
Unlike traditional lockbolt fasteners, there is no pin break
so there is reduced noise, no metal waste, no installation
shock, no risk of pintails being dropped into the application
or work area, and no corrosion at a pin-break surface. With
no shock loads, tool life is extended and operator fatigue
is reduced. Additionally, the Helical “fit- up” feature allows
rapid pre-assembly of collar on pin.
NeoBolt® creates a maintenance-free hold, with no
torque or re-torque required.
Assembly applications where NeoBolt® fasteners are
found include railway, truck & trailer, commercial vehicles,
solar & wind energy, bridge building, mining equipment,
screening equipment, fencing and security screens, con-
struction, overland infrastructure, and power and utility
services.
Available in many diameters and lengths, NeoBolt®
lockbolts can be placed with a range of installation tools
featuring fastener-specific nose assemblies.

Japan's modernization began with one

screw
In 1860, a young influential member of the Edo
Shogunate, Uenosuke Oguri, visited U.S. and astonished
to see a shipyard in Washington building battleships one
after another using machines.
Thinking that Japan should have such modern industrial
facilities, Oguri brought back one screw. Then he stamped
out opposition in the financially bankrupt Edo Shogunate,
bravely reformed the government and constructed a
shipyard in Yokosuka, which required huge amount of
money.
The shipyard which later built battleships that broke the
force of the Baltic Fleet was one of foundations of Japan's
several industries in and after the Meiji Era.

D
aishin (Kanagawa), thread rolling die plate
manufacturer, has acquired a tool manufacturing
license for Delta PT and PT of EJOT.
The company manufactures highly accurate die plates
from standard products to special products with its own
technology. It is an EJOT product that has a high market
share especially in the automotive field in Europe and other
regions, so the fastener manufacturer that manufactures
it must obtain a license recognized as having certain
technology with EJOT, and manufactures its tools. A license
is required for this as well.
Delta PT and PT are special tapping screws for resin
that have a great feature in the thread part and have high
fastening performance. Dedicated die plate manufacturing
requires high technology, and there are few tool
manufacturers in the world who have obtained a license.

The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA)
has published its annual Pocket Guide that provides an overview
of the EU auto industry, including the latest sector-specific data
on employment, vehicle production and sales, road safety, R&D,
the environment and trade flows.
According to the 2020-2021 edition of the Automotive

Industry Pocket Guide:
• The automotive ecosystem provides work to 14.6 million
Europeans, representing 6.7% of total employment in
the European Union.
• With 2.7 million people working on the manufacturing
of vehicles at 226 factories in the EU, the auto industry
accounts for 8.5% of total manufacturing jobs in the
region.
• Almost 18 million vehicles were ‘made in Europe’ in
2019, representing 20% of global vehicle production.
• 5.6 million of these vehicles were exported around the
world, generating a trade surplus of €74 billion for the
EU last year.
• The auto industry is by far the biggest spender on R&D
in the EU, investing an impressive €60.9 billion annually
(+6.1% on the previous year), or 29% of the region’s
total spending.
• Europe also leads the world when it comes to self-driving

3rd Exhibition for Fastener

and Fixing Technology to take
place from 10 – 11 November
2021 at Fiera Milano City in
Italy
M
ack Brooks Exhibitions has announced the
postponement of Fastener Fair Italy, which
was scheduled to be held at Fiera Milano City
from 11 – 12 November 2020. The event will now be
scheduled to take place 10 – 11 November 2021.
This decision was taken after extensive conversations
with exhibitors and partners over recent weeks and
months who have expressed their preference not to
hold the show in November of this year, in light of the
ongoing Covid-19 crisis.
Speaking about the announcement, Nicola Ha-
mann, Managing Director of Mack Brooks Exhibitions,
said: “We are all aware that this year has been a
challenging one for both the exhibitions and fasten-
er and fixing industries. Many events have had to
be postponed to next year due to the Covid-19 pan-
demic and ongoing travel restrictions, with many of
our participants unable to attend the event this year.
We therefore, in close coordination with all partners
involved, have decided to reschedule Fastener Fair
Italy to November 2021 and are pleased that we have
maintained our usual November dates.”
The Fastener Fair Italy Team will communicate
closely with customers and partners over the coming
weeks and months and thank their exhibitors, part-
ners, suppliers and visitors for their support during
this challenging time.
Fastener Fair Italy is part of a series of targeted
trade events for the fastener and fixing industry,
including Fastener Fair Turkey, Fastener Fair India,
Fastener Fair France, Fastener Fair Mexico and Fas-
tener Fair USA. Fastener Fair Stuttgart, Germany, is
the global flagship exhibition of the Fastener Fair
brand.

requirements and demands placed upon the quality of
surface finishing continue to rise,” reported Mathias
Schnabel, sales manager and authorised signatory at
Benseler Entgratungen GmbH & Co. KG, after their last
trade fair presentation in October 2019.
Taking Advantage of the Right Setting

“The challenges faced by companies from virtually
all manufacturing industries also have an impact
on surface finishing processes such as deburring,
rounding, the production of precision surfaces
and cleaning. Beyond this, these process steps are
becoming more and more important in the growing
market for component conditioning,” explains Hartmut
Herdin, managing director of trade fair promoters
fairXperts GmbH & Co. KG. Key requirements in
this regard include ongoing quality improvement,
increased efficiency, optimisation, automation and
the digitalisation of processes, as well as solutions
for parts and components manufactured using new
and modified production technologies, for example
additively manufactured workpieces and work pieces
made of hybrid materials.
As a specialised trade fair, DeburringEXPO portrays
these issues precisely, offers a complete overview of
current and new solutions and showcases current
trends in the various industry sectors. Its clear focus
makes the leading trade fair for deburring technologies
and precision surface finishing an ideal setting for
presenting corresponding solutions, as well as for
establishing and expanding networks and detecting
upcoming technologies at an early stage. Prominent
companies from the industry sector, including
numerous market and technology leaders, see things
in the same way and have already made firm bookings
for their trade fair booths more than a year before the
event opens. “Stoba Sondermaschinen GmbH has
of course decided to participate at DeburringEXPO
again in 2021, because we see the trade fair as an
important factor for the presentation and marketing
of our edge and surface finishing processes such as
electrochemical metal and laser machining. A certain
amount of risk is currently involved in the organisation
of, and participation in trade fairs. But as a matter
of fact, trade fairs constitute a living portrayal of the
economic situation and are capable of revealing
techno-economic trends in a concentrated form.
They make it possible for visitors and exhibitors to
take part in current developments. Trade fairs also
provide a suitable opportunity for gaining a better
understanding of how the various industry sectors
are realigning themselves. We, as well as the entire
group of companies, are working intensively on gaining
a foothold in new markets. DeburringEXPO is also
ideally suited for this purpose,” says Hans-Joachim
Konetzni from sales at Stoba Sondermaschinen GmbH
in summarising the company’s arguments for its early
decision.
