Thread inserts are critical in aerospace engineering, where components must withstand extreme temperatures, vibrations, and pressure. For example, Precision Castparts Corp. (PCC)—a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway—uses ours high-performance customized inserts made from titanium and nickel alloys in jet engine assemblies.

Collaborative robots (cobots) require lightweight, high-strength fasteners. KUKA Robotics integrates blue zinc-plated carbon steel 307 cutting bores self tapping thread inserts from KernalCoil Thread Insert Company into its KR AGILUS arms. These zinc-plated steel inserts dampen vibrations during high-speed pick-and-place operations, improving precision by 22%.
