DST: Assembly in just seconds at Haromac

Can a complete workbench be assembled in just 25 minutes? A case study with the Haromac tool factory shows that this can be done using the fasteners of DIRAK-SNAP-Technology (DST).
 

The Haromac tool factory, which produces stainless steel and sheet steel trowels, looks back on a company history spanning 120 years. The company is also celebrating its 25-year anniversary at the Hückeswagen location in the Bergisch Land area.

The manufacturer's specialty with masonry and tile-laying tools is in manufacturing products that allow customers to implement their own individual design. This also extends to the workbench product segment. Oliver Lück, Managing Director of the Haromac tool factory, explains: "The workbenches presented a new challenge for us. They had to provide good load-bearing capacity and be easy to assemble without any screws and with just a few tools."

This problem was very easy to solve thanks to DIRAK-SNAP-Technology: Using our DST fasteners, we can now assembly workbenches within 25 minutes using no tools – the fasteners simply click into the cutouts in the sheetmetal walls.

A DST fastener can support up to 120kg, so the workbenches can withstand heavy loads. The fasteners can also be disassembled again using simple means. The fasteners can thus be used to implement modular structures in which the drawers of workbenches can be flexibly refastened in different places.

Oliver Lück sums up: "DST fasteners meet our standards for fast assembly with no tools and good load-bearing capacity, and they are especially well suited for our workbenches."
