🔧 Introduction: Why Fasteners Deserve More Attention
Fasteners are often overlooked in the design process—but in high-precision industries, the right fastener can make or break your system. Whether it’s a medical device, drone assembly, electric vehicle component, or robotic actuator, performance begins with secure, precise connections.

⚠️ Industry Problems: When Fasteners Go Wrong
Real-World Failures That Cost Millions
A report from Global Manufacturing Insight (2024) revealed that 32% of mechanical failures in industrial machinery were caused by faulty or misaligned fasteners. The consequences include:
- Equipment downtime
- Costly repairs
- Safety recalls
- Project delays
| Failure Type | Root Cause | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Thread Stripping | Poor thread tolerance | Connection loosens under vibration |
| Rust & Corrosion | Inappropriate material/coating | Structural failure, contamination risk |
| Inconsistent Dimensions | Low-precision manufacturing | Poor fit, rejected batches |
| Slow Customization | No flexible CNC machining | Missed project deadlines |
✅ The Solution: Precision Fasteners That Fit Every Time
1. CNC Hardware for Dimensional Accuracy
Using CNC turning and milling, we achieve tight tolerances (as low as ±0.01mm) and consistent repeatability, even across batches of 100,000+ units.
- Machined threads (Metric/UNC/UNF/custom)
- Chamfered heads, undercuts, and tight shanks
- Controlled runout for rotating components
📐 Case Study: A European drone startup reduced assembly time by 20% after switching to our CNC-machined fasteners, thanks to perfect thread engagement and zero rework rate.
2. Custom Screws for Unique Assembly Needs
Designers are no longer limited to standard ISO/ANSI screws. We manufacture custom screws to meet exact application demands:
| Custom Options | Example |
|---|---|
| Head Types | Pan, flat, hex, button, oval, socket |
| Drive Styles | Torx, Phillips, hex, custom slots |
| Features | Vented holes, shoulder sections, security heads |
| Surface Textures | Knurled grip, polished, blasted |
Need M2.35×0.4 screws in titanium with a hex socket head? We can do that.
3. Stainless Steel Bolts for Harsh Environments
Our stainless steel bolts are made from 304, 316, or 410-grade steel. These offer:
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- High mechanical strength
- Compatibility with medical, marine, and food-grade applications
🛡 Finishes Available:
- Passivation
- Electropolishing
- Dacromet
- Black oxide
4. Non-Standard Fasteners: You Design It, We Build It
Sometimes, standard fasteners just won’t do. We produce non-standard fasteners to meet rare sizes, custom threads, and special functions.
We accept:
- 2D drawings (PDF, DXF)
- 3D models (STEP, IGS)
- Reverse engineering from samples
🛠 Minimum order: as low as 50 pcs
📊 Data Comparison: CNC Fasteners vs. Conventional Options
