Not only is FAST Live the UK’s only dedicated fastening exhibition – the next event is fast approaching! It will be held at The National Conference Centre, Solihull, and now is the moment to register to be there.
FAST Live is your opportunity to meet with the true experts in fastening and bonding. Your time at the event won’t just save your project or production time and money – it can also open up new and rewarding opportunities that you may not otherwise have considered!
Seminars at FAST Live As ever, running alongside the exhibition will be a series of technical seminars delivered by fastening and materials experts, focussed on helping visitors solve design challenges in fastening, bonding lightweighting, materials selection and multi-materials joining. What’s more, the seminars are now CPD accredited, which means that delegates will be eligible for CPD points by attending the sessions. September’s seminars include: Bob Goss, senior technology specialist - technical customer services, Henkel This talk will describe the many different types of cyanoacrylates (CA’s) and discuss some surprising applications for them. The talk is aimed at design, development and production engineers who may be involved in the selection and recommendation of adhesives for industrial applications in a wide variety of industries. The seminar will include practical demonstrations and information on designing joints for adhesives as well as methods for dispensing adhesives in automated production lines. Thomas Wood, managing director, Adhesion Technologies As you may have read on page 32, Spida fixings replace traditional nuts, bolts, rivets and welding. No drilling required. Their unique shape construction and bond surface provides enhanced strength so that fewer fixings are required. Now for composites structures, Fiba Spida is like buying your fabric with these fixings built in. A significantly stronger method of mechanically joining metal, composite and other materials together with enhanced peel, shear, torsion, cleavage, tension and compressive loading capabilities. 5 things delegates will learn during this session:
