Metal crack repair LOCK-N-STITCH and screw hole repair Full Torque
Alternative welding technology LNS method (Lock-N-Stitch) completely solves the problems of permanent female thread repair material 'Full-Torque' screw holes.
The LNS method eliminates thermal distortion and secondary cutting, making machining unnecessary, which allows for reduced construction time and cost savings.
■□■A Completely New Metal Crack Repair That Is Not Welding■□■ ~Permanent Complete Repair~ The LOCK-N-STITCH 'LNS' method, which is not welding, uses special screws and reinforcement locks, employing mechanical stitch metal joining technology that prevents thermal distortion and secondary cuts, eliminates the need for machining, and allows for easy on-site construction, enabling a completely new crack repair that shortens construction time and reduces costs. Additionally, the permanent screw hole repair 'Full-Torque' is not a temporary fix like conventional products, but allows for a permanent repair, extending the life of the equipment. The permanent female thread repair insert 'Full-Torque Thread Insert' perfectly resolves worn or damaged bolt holes with a single application.

basic information
The LOCK-N-STITCH 'LNS' method's special screw, CASTMASTER (C series pin), features a unique screw thread shape known as a "spiral hook," which has a different angle compared to conventional screws. It pulls the crack areas together, creating a permanent fastening. Additionally, the reinforcement LOCK is used to increase strength across the crack, and all LNS Locks function to pull the crack areas together, possessing the capability to prevent crack propagation. The permanent female thread repair material 'Full-Torque' utilizes a patented upward-facing screw thread structure to draw in the surrounding base material, reinforcing it. Furthermore, the force that draws in the surrounding base material through product insertion allows for construction up to the corner edges. Unlike temporary repairs typical of conventional products, it enables permanent repairs, extending the lifespan of equipment. Sizes range from φ6 to φ64, but custom sizes and pitches are available. Larger sizes can also be installed on-site. Perfectly resolves worn or damaged bolt holes!

Applications/Examples of results
The Full-Torque insert has many issues with existing methods, especially when bolt holes in aluminum or cast products are damaged. Currently, ordinary Heli-Coil type products available on the market cannot apply full torque, which makes it impossible to maintain the fastening strength of existing bolts and does not solve leakage problems. The Full-Torque insert manufactured by LNSJAPAN can be used regardless of temperature, pressure, or vibration, and it perfectly resolves leakage issues caused by damaged bolt holes. This performance has already been certified in the American market and is supplied to global engine manufacturers such as Caterpillar and Cummins, and it is also applied in engine repairs for Ford. Additionally, it has been applied to tire manufacturers like Cooper Tire and Nexen Tire, contributing to the extension of equipment life and achieving cost reductions. Furthermore, it has been applied in companies like POSCO and in steelmaking and marine engines, receiving great acclaim and continuously expanding its application fields. The Full-Torque insert solves all problems and concerns related to bolt holes.

| FFT,FFB,FST,FSB | The FFT type is generally well-used and is an easy-to-install insert. The FFB type is commonly applied to head bolt holes and bearing bolt holes in gas and diesel engines. The FST type adds additional force around the hole to withstand lateral loads at the shoulder. The FSB type requires that the bolt holes connected to the water jacket maintain a seal to prevent leakage of (coolant, lubricating oil). |

Company information
<We provide nationwide support> LNS JAPAN Co., Ltd. is an engineering company that performs maintenance and repairs on cracks and damages in equipment and metal structures across various industries (such as petroleum, chemicals, power generation facilities, ships, heavy equipment, automobiles, steelmaking, etc.) using the METAL STITCHING method. Currently, most of the critical equipment used across industries is facing a tough situation regarding new capital investment due to the global economic downturn. In Japan's industries, welding technology, which is widely used for metal repairs, has recently led to significant damage to many pieces of equipment and critical assets due to a shortage of skilled craftsmen and inexperienced welding repairs, with many cases worsening. Our company is the only certified company in Japan and is committed to continuous technological development in collaboration with our parent company, LOCK-N-STITCH INC, which continues to leap and grow as a global enterprise. We promise to ensure that our repairs do not cause deformation or secondary cracks due to heat, which have been issues with traditional welding repairs, while also shortening construction periods and reducing costs, thereby extending the life of equipment and ensuring high quality and prompt maintenance. For repairs where fire is not desired or where time is limited, please contact LNS JAPAN.
