The XBT System – Simplified fastening to steel
This article has been supplied as a media statement and is not written by Creamer Media. It may be available only for a limited time on this website.
Company Announcement - Used for steel fixings for the following applications:
• Grating fastening systems
• Installation systems
• Fastening instrumentation
• Junction boxes and lighting
• Fastening cable/conduit connectors
• Fastening cable tray supports
• For grounding and bonding equipment
• External lighting protection systems
No rework.Stud welding or through-bolting, for example, may require reworking of to the protective surface coating. With X-BT, the stud is set into a small pre-drilled hole and the drill entry point is then completely sealed by the stud washer during setting.
Simple and fast.
A minimal amount of training is all that’s required for a user to be able to drive
up to 100 studs per hour.
High corrosion resistance.
X-BT studs are made of high grade A4 (316 SS equivalent) stainless steel, making
them the right choice for almost every corrosive environments.
High loading and pull-out values.
X-BT delivers performance comparable to methods such as stud welding.
Fasten to all steel shapes.
Unlike clamps, which are limited by the configuration of the base steel, the X-BT is
ideal for use on hollow sections, channel sections, wide flanges and angles.
Fasten to all steel grades.
In addition to fastening to standard construction steel, the X-BT can also be used
to fasten to high strength and thick steel.
Portable.
The fastening tool’s self-contained energy source eliminates the need for electrical
cords and heavy welding equipment.
No through-penetration.
The special process of drilling and driving results in secure fastening of the stud without through-penetration of the base material.
