Problem
Seized fasteners in aerospace, machinery, and other industrial sectors lead to significant downtime, increased scrap rates, and potential safety hazards during maintenance and remanufacturing processes. Traditional removal methods often involve high forces, heat, or chemicals, which can further damage components and endanger operators. The uncertainty of removing seized components can also disrupt maintenance schedules and increase costs.
Solution
Scintam Engineering provides portable and automated fastener removal tools utilizing electro-discharge machining (EDM) technology to safely and efficiently disassemble seized components. Their FastEDR system is a portable solution designed for rapid on-site maintenance in industries like aerospace, minimizing the risk of component damage and improving operator safety. For high-throughput remanufacturing applications, the ARTES system automates the fastener removal process, transforming scrap metal into valuable components. Scintam's solutions ensure predictable and repeatable processes, reducing downtime and enabling more accurate maintenance scheduling.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) providers in the aerospace industry, remanufacturing facilities, and industrial companies dealing with seized fasteners in machinery and equipment.
