The number of vehicle failures due to electronic components is increasing every year. Electronic components are involved in nearly half of all emergency assistance calls received by the German motorists’ association ADAC. Often coming from screws, microscopic contamination particles on interconnects regularly cause failures in control units. To solve this problem, Arnold Umformtechnik has developed the Cleancon concept.

The RIVTEX system solution from Arnold Umformtechnik and Arnold & Shinjo is a high-quality alternative to conventional welding. It cuts parts assembly costs whilst assuring every quality requirement.

The “innovation factory” is housed in the company’s historic original building. Experienced ‘old hands’ work side by side with bright new talent on research and development projects for the new joining systems of tomorrow and the day after.

Remform screws from Arnold Umformtechnik GmbH & Co. reduce the overall assembly cost of plastic parts as they do not require nuts or inserts. They furthermore ensure the highest levels of assembly security, due to a specific design that creates a large difference between the forming torque and the stripping torque. The main application of REMFORM for plastic parts assembly is the automotive industry.

Taptite 2000^® generation of thread forming screws combines efficiency advantages with process reliability. A total cost saving of up to 88% can be achieved in threaded fastener assembly.

Arnold provides two new reliable and cost-effective assembly methods to answer to the continuously evolving use of plastics. Remform screws is a solution for detachable plastic parts joints whereas Arnorld Tripress (ATP) are dedicated to permanent joints for ductile light metals or plastics.

Arnold Umformtechnik, a manufacturer of intelligent joining solutions and a development partner for the automotive and electrical industries, developed Flowform^® screws in response to the increasingly complex requirements for sheet metal joining. These trilobal (triangular) screws utilise the technology of flow-hole forming in the fabrication process. Flowform is a cost optimised solution that offers higher process reliability for threaded fastener joints and considerable advantages over alternative sheet metal joining methods: ease of loosening, accessibility, positioning, reassembly with threaded fasteners, freedom from fabrication residues.
