High Flyers look to GBK for fixing solution

GBK has developed, with a long term customer, 2 new fastening solutions for the cabin & bed areas of national airline carriers for their first & business class cabins.

Specialist fixings had to be designed, using micro moulding techniques to ensure fin forms were accurately replicated from the CAD models designed to ensure optimum hold was achieved.

Additionally to this, one of the fixings had a special spigot moulded on the head of the fastener to provide an assembly aid when positioning the part in the application. As the head forms of both items are particularly thin for such a wide moulded area this was of concern, but was overcome & the resultant part is fully approved and in use.
