| Advantage |
Proof |
Benefit |
| Impossible to lose the screw |
Screw is attached to the retainer, which is itself attached to the workpiece after installation |
No risk of losing the screw in a sensitive environment (electrical, power supply, etc.) |
| High-resistance assembly guaranteed |
See values in technical data sheets |
Guarantee of perfect assembly |
| No special preparation of the workpiece is necessary |
Rough holes, non-chamfered and non-deburred |
No costs related to the preparation of the workpiece |
| Guarantee of positioning and coaxiality of the screw after installation |
The shank of the retainer self-centres the component on installation
The retainer receiving the screw allows clearance, which facilitates final assembly |
Perfect assembly is assured, in terms of both functional and aesthetic aspects |
| Simplification of the production flow and process |
Can be used on painted workpieces
No polishing on a stainless steel workpiece |
Simplification of the process: pre-painted workpieces can be used |
| Elimination of retapping to remove excess paint |
No need to paint after installation |
Savings |
| Aesthetic solution |
No visible welds nor burning of the material |
Completely aesthetic yet without polishing costs or assembly deterioration (burns and deformations) |
| Can be used on all metals |
The screw is installed without any heating of the material |
Process savings - whatever the workpiece material |
| Rapidity and ease of setting captive screws |
CAPTIFIX™ solutions are installed to workpieces using a simple press.
In its IMC version, CAPTIFIX™ enables manual snap-on assembly, without tools. |
Maximum reduction in assembly costs. |
| Assembly of a panel fitted with several anchorage points on its frame, facilitated by the use of IMC-type captive components. |
In the IMC version, the CAPTIFIX™ allow significant freedom in positioning when installed to a workpiece equipped with lights, allowing absolute coaxiality between the fastener and the threaded elements of the frame. These captive elements can also be integrated to cylindrical holes, with a diameter allowing for clearance. |
Fastener position, in relation to the threaded elements of the frame during the assembly phase, is 100% guaranteed.
Faster assembly time for sheet metal work. |
