Case study of Quarter-Turn Fasteners

Standardized quick release fasteners cut fixture costs by 70% and eliminared fixture maintenance!

Cosel Co., Ltd. manufactures "switching power supplies" that are indispensable for electronic products and they use IMAO's Quarter Turn Fasteners on assembly fixtures. They set the electronic substrate on the base plate and put the resin case. Set the clamping plate on the base plate, clamp, pour silicone rubber, and then do heat hardened treatment. They use Quarter Turn Fasteners when fixing the resin case with the clamping plate.

They used to use self-produced clamps, so a lot of cost and production time was required. In addition, they often stopped the production line for repairing the damaged clamps due to the loosening screws caused by heat hardening distention. A total of 80 fixtures are used per the assemble product in their production line, so they decided to use Quarter Turn Fasteners to achieve cost reduction and maintenance-free of the fixtures.

Furthermore, the tool-less and quick clamping Quarter Turn Fasteners were perfect for the workability since they produce approx. 200 products per day. By using Quarter Turn Fasteners, they succeeded in not only reducing the fixture cost by 70% but also have been using more than 2 years without any maintenance that previously needed once a week.

Cosel who has achieved great success by standardizing the clamps will positively keep using IMAO's One-Touch Fasteners for the ones needing quick clamping.
