Industry constantly seeks to reduce manufacturing and logistics costs.
The use of thinner metal sheets helps to reduce material weight but present a new challenge to meet application requirements and avoid problems during the insertion of the screw. Generally, we consider thin metal sheet assemblies those where the sheet thickness is less than one third of the screw diameter. There are different solutions for the assembly of thin metal sheet.
The optimal screw to be used in each case will depend on hole configuration, mechanical requirements and installation parameters.
