SMALLEST SCREWS IN LARGE QUANTITIES

For one of our customers we produce over 50 different types of screws every year. The smallest screw has a head diameter of 0.4 mm and a total length of 0.6 mm. The production of such small precision parts is extremely demanding.

Each of the up to 20 production steps has its own challenges. For example, just packing the small screws into bags of 100 pieces is more complex than one might think. Even slight vibrations or a strong draught influence the accuracy of the counting scales, which leads to inadmissible quantity deviations during packing. In addition, the bags are gassed so that the screws do not corrode, i.e. the bags must be absolutely airtight.
