This product was developed with the concepts of "reasonable," "performance," and "global" to suppress metal contamination that occurs during the transportation and assembly of various metal parts, including screws, bolts, and nuts. TAFF-C refers to products that have been treated with our developed contamination suppression function, known as 'TOP coat,' applied to screws, bolts, and metal parts. TAFF-C products have the following features: 1) The flexibility of the resin-based top coat absorbs impacts caused by interference between products, thereby suppressing metal contamination generated by 'secondary factors' during manufacturing, packaging, transportation, and assembly work. 2) Since it undergoes the same processing as regular plating, there is no increase in labor costs, making it a reasonable product. 3) No large-scale capital investment is required, and the work is standardized, enabling 'global production.' 'TAFF' is the brand name of our functional screws, derived from the initials of Techno Associe Functional Fasteners.

In these challenging times of rising electricity prices and inflation, we recommend the trending TAF-TPI for those looking to reduce costs! Born in an era of replacing metal with resin, the TAF-TPI is a utility fastener compatible with various plastics. The TAF-TPI features a screw thread angle of 28°, designed with the screw-in capability for resin in mind. By making the thread angle sharp, it efficiently transmits the tightening force when screwing in, achieving smooth screw-in performance and many other benefits. Additionally, its design incorporates a deep thread valley shape that allows the resin pushed out by the threads to flow into the thread valley side in large quantities, reducing stress on the resin boss. It also increases friction between the resin and the screw surface, creating a high grip strength. Furthermore, we have a special secret just for Ipros members! ★ The gentle three major supports of the TP1 screw… 1) Support that is friendly to engineers, such as in the design of the counterpart resin boss. 2) Support that is friendly to workers, such as in setting tightening conditions. 3) The best support for screw loosening and axial force fluctuations due to temperature changes.

Cost reduction and loosening prevention, a two-in-one solution with the screw lockless <TAFF-TF4> In addition to the popular iron, stainless steel has also joined the TF4 family, further enhancing the product lineup! ★TAFF-TF4 is compatible with small screws and features a screw thread with a 30° angle. By making the screw thread sharp at a 30° angle, it reduces torque cross when tightening the screw, increases axial force, and exhibits a high loosening prevention effect. Furthermore, the TF4 family offers great benefits: 1) Secondary processing, such as applying a loosening prevention agent to the screw, is unnecessary, allowing for cost reduction! 2) When tightening the screw, there is point contact with the nut, resulting in less contamination! 3) In automatic screw tightening, the screws align neatly, preventing chocolate stops, and more good things! (A secret just for you) *Experts in screws will provide a free diagnosis of loosening.

Are you struggling with "which tapping screws for resin are suitable?" among the many options available? Techno Associate offers satisfactory screw proposals to solve your concerns. We would like to introduce our resin self-tapping screw <TAFF-TP1>, which can be fastened to high-performance resin materials such as engineering plastics and super engineering plastics. Features of TAFF-TP1 include: <During screw tightening> The tip of the screw thread is designed with an acute angle to suppress the dispersion of tightening stress during insertion, allowing for a "smooth" tightening operation. <After screw tightening> The pockets of the screw valleys are enlarged, allowing more resin to flow into the valleys during insertion, which increases the friction on the screw surface and enhances the "looseness prevention" of the screw. <Design support> In addition to providing screws, we also offer "technical support for self-tapping fastening," including the design of resin BOSS shapes and fastening conditions. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We are struggling with "chocolate stops" on the automatic machine line. We want to make traditional manual processing easier. Is it the screws? Is it the screwdriver? Which one should we improve? Are you troubled by the automation of screw fastening, becoming perplexed and confused? This message is for those who are filled with such concerns. Techno Associates' <TAFF-A> will solve your problems!! 'TAFF-A' is designed to respond to the trend of automation in society, enhancing the suitability of screw fastening in automatic machines through a combination of materials and functional screw designs. To accommodate various automatic screw fastening needs, we offer Hexlobe (hexagonal) and Inner (cross) types for inner applications, and External types for outer applications. 【Benefits of using TAFF-A】 〇 Elimination of manual processing tasks 〇 Significant reduction in chocolate stops on the manufacturing line 〇 Increased fastening strength during screw tightening 〇 Prevention of diagonal screw tightening *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

"Countermeasures for loosening screws" = "Application of thread locking agent" is what you are thinking, right? TAFF-TF4 features a design with asymmetrical sharp thread angles, which lowers the torque cross during fastening, generates "high axial force," and achieves "loosening suppression effects with just the screw." The characteristics of TAFF-TF4 include: <Cost Reduction> By not applying a thread locking agent, it allows for "cost reduction." <Minimal Contamination> When tightening the screw, there is less friction on the screw surface, resulting in "less contamination during fastening." <Shortened Delivery Time> By eliminating secondary processing, it enables "shorter manufacturing lead times" and contributes to inventory reduction. <Materials> In addition to iron TAFF-TF4, it can also accommodate stainless steel screws. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
