Con más de ochenta años de historia, Barton Cold-Form es un incondicional de la industria de la fijación del Reino Unido y uno de los principales fabricantes europeos de cierres críticos a medida y forja en frío especial. Ahora una compañía Optimas, Barton suministra más de 25 millones de sujetadores por mes a fabricantes y proveedores de nivel 1 en 21 países. Con una reputación de calidad, and regular investment in its manufacturing capabilities, it’s the obvious choice when appointing manufacturing licenses: just ask REMINC and Phillips Screw Company.
Como su nombre lo indica, Barton Cold-Form se especializa en técnicas de fabricación forjadas en frío, que dan como resultado sujetadores precisos y de alta calidad que se pueden fabricar a granel con prácticamente cero desperdicio de material. La instalación de 5.100 m2, con sede en Midlands, tiene 32 máquinas de rumbo, 14 rodantes y 35 máquinas de operación secundaria y está acreditada por ISO / TS 16949ISO 9001 e ISO14001.

Andrew Nuttall, Managing Director of Barton Cold-Form, comments: “Quality and reliability is the key to our customers’ success. We’re constantly working towards the ideal of a zero-defect objective. Additionally, we’ve built up a local supply and logistics network which allows to react quickly and meet delivery deadlines on all orders from around the globe. This means we have a reputation that makes it possible for us to form partnerships with well-known brands to fabricar their products under license.”

As a REMINC licensed manufacturer, Barton is approved to fabricar fasteners featuring the TAPTITE® and REMFORM® thread designs. Both TAPTITE® and REMFORM® screws are self-threading designs: the former a thread tapping screw for metals and the latter a roll-forming design for plastics. The TAPTITE® design features a patented ‘TRILOBULAR®’ shape that reduces friction during thread forming and provides resistance to vibrational loosening. The REMFORM® screws include an asymmetrical thread which is engineered to resist pullout caused by tensile load.

Phillips Screw Company has licensed Barton to fabricar MORTORQ Super® and External MORTORQ Super® drive systems (among others), which provide even greater torque delivery to fasteners than the traditional Phillips design. The unique, curved ‘wings’ provide full contact of the driver to the recess walls which results in lower loading per mm2 when torque is applied. Beyond offering higher torque transfer, the design also results in a shallower recess depth. This in turn means a shallower head is required which enables manufacturers to save weight per fastener – leading to significant efficiency gains in aerospace, automotive and other high-end industries.

Ambas licencias permiten a Barton proporcionar a sus clientes soluciones de fijación de próxima generación que garantizan ventajas medibles: rendimiento mejorado, tiempos de instalación reducidos, ahorro de peso y ahorro de costos, por ejemplo. Los ingenieros de diseño de Barton trabajarán para identificar la mejor solución y garantizar que los fabricantes trabajen a partir de una cartera de productos que se ha desarrollado según sus requisitos.
