With a unique design, the new fastener model ‘A Profile Fastener’ from Norm Civata San ve Tic AS enables fast, low torque threading in assembly processes without causing deformation in wood or metal plates. The fastener has recently been granted a patent (TR2019/08453) by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office.
Manufactured to address the problems encountered when joining materials such as wood, metal, or profiles with gaps between them, this new solution ensures maximum safety through precise centring and fixation during installation. Problems such as deformation caused by conventional screws when connecting materials, axis misalignment and the need for hole preparation, can therefore be minimised.
Featuring a drill bit design, the screw can drill its own path without the need for pre-drilling, thus offering savings on costs and assembly time. The screw also prevents axis misalignment within the material, ensuring a stable and accurate connection. With a reusable design thanks to minimised damage during assembly, the fastener also enables chips generated during drilling to be expelled through channels on the screw.
