The role of the screw manufacturer in series production
In modern series production, a screw is not just a mechanical element but a functional part of the system. Joint stability directly affects the reliability of the end product, assembly speed, scrap on the line and long-term warranty costs.
For OEM and Tier 1 manufacturers, the screw supplier plays a strategic role, because it:
- affects the stability of automated assembly,
- affects tightening torque,
- affects the mechanical strength of the joint,
- affects process variability,
- affects delivery reliability.
In such an environment, the price of the screw is only one factor. The key criteria are:
- process capability,
- dimensional repeatability,
- geometric stability,
- control of variation,
- technical support with optimisation.
Interwolf positions itself as a production partner for projects where long-term batch stability and technical competence matter.
