The electronics industry has always been driven by innovation. Whether a company is involved in creating consumer electronics, medical devices, small toys, miniaturized robots, circuits board assemblies, or electrical components, they all invest heavily in the research and development of new products. With constant pressure on company engineering teams to create new, and improve existing products, more quickly and more cheaply, many electronics companies are using analytics to gain insights into improving their manufacturing processes.

In addition, a growing number of companies in the electronics industry are outsourcing the manufacturing of their parts or even their products, so they can concentrate instead on developing strategies to remain competitive in the global marketplace.
Another factor of cost-control, often overlooked in manufacturing cost-analysis, is the importance of specifying the correct fasteners in the conceptual and research phases of product design. Not using the best type or size of fastener can have a major impact on production costs and the ultimate success of the product in the marketplace.
The cost of making small electronic screw changes during the production cycle can be significant. However, making the right fastener decisions, such as specifying custom-designed small screws for electronics, early in the product’s design phase, can lower production and assembly costs by reducing the component’s per-piece price or eliminating manual operations.
To assure that you can offer new products of maximum quality at the lowest cost, take advantage of the input of top design engineers, like the experts at US Micro Screw, to customize fasteners to your specific needs during design and development. The right fasteners can prevent costly failures and delays in production, and increase your ability to offer high-quality products at the lowest cost.
When considering a redesign, such as switching to a more durable material for a frequently impacted small component, you’ll want to consult a micro screw specialist to customize fastener compatible with the new material. If this element of the redesign is overlooked, the consequences could be very costly – with products being returned for repairs, lower customer satisfaction, higher warranty costs, or even a recall of the product.
We have the knowledge and expertise to offer materials and finish options for your specific product needs. The team at US Micro Screw works diligently to provide unparalleled solutions to meet the electronics industry need for micro fasteners by creating custom machine screws with the highest level of integrity for their product or assembly.
