AMG Intellifast to Provide Advanced Fastener Technology to Premium AEROTEC
The following is a press release provided to GlobalFastenerNews.com. Contact the individual company for additional information.
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AMG Advanced Metallurgical Group N.V. (“AMG”, EURONEXT AMSTERDAM: “AMG”) announces that its AMG Intellifast subsidiary has finalized a long-term supply agreement with Premium AEROTEC to supply advanced technology to measure load control pathways in the manufacture of airframe components.
Under this five-year agreement, AMG Intellifast will supply ultrasonic products to provide precise measurements of the clamp load of the fasteners that are critical to maintain and monitor the Airbus A380 wing flaps.
“We are very excited about the opportunity to provide our innovative metallurgical technology to the aerospace industry and Premium AEROTEC.” said Dr. Markus Holz, President of AMG Engineering, “It is our belief that this agreement, and future agreements, will serve the strategic interests of both companies.”
AMG Intellifast’s technology enables the fast and accurate measurement of the clamp load in bolted joints used in critical applications. Using ultrasonic measurement techniques, AMG Intellifast equips standard bolts with a permanent mounted ultrasonic transducer, which can provide accurate clamp load measurement during assembly and in the field. This provides precise information about the bolted joint condition and enables the use of a reduced tightening, lighter materials, and smaller fasteners, all of which are important factors in aerospace applications.
