Technical guide book will save design and assembly time

A new technology handbook published by FDB Panel Fittings illustrates how the D-Snap fixing and assembly system for the sheet metal and panel building industries can save time and money without using tools for construction of enclosures and mounting of hardware such as handles and hinges.

Snap technology provides an alternative to traditional fastening methods. It is currently used in the assembly process of industrial enclosures and has the potential for use in many other areas, such as household appliances, industrial machinery, HVAC equipment, automotive and furniture industries. Snap technology can be installed as a single piece which speeds up the manufacturing process, saving time and money when assembling enclosures and switch cabinets. The system also eliminates the need for the costly storage of panel parts as the number of fasteners used in the assembly process is noticeably lower, especially as snap fasteners are delivered as pre-assembled components and are immediately ready for installation.
