A Sorting Bridge allows the user to separate mixed batches if items with equivalent dimensions but differing material types become mixed.
If the material of the sample matches the test piece, a sinusoidal waveform is produced. If the material of the sample does not match the test piece, the waveform is inconsistent.
Thomas Smith Fasteners are proud to sponsor our local running club – Astley & Tyldesley Road Runners, who are to host the Bent & Bongs 10k Trail Race on Sunday, April 1.
The race may take place on April Fool’s day, but the course is no joke! The race takes place on the trails around Astley, Tyldesley, Hindsford and Atherton and will start and finish at the Astley & Tyldesley Miner’s Welfare Club, the Gin Pit.
All abilities are welcome, and every runner who completes the course will be rewarded with a memento.
Entry details are located on the club’s website http://astleyrunners.blogspot.com. Alternatively, email the race organiser Gary Stevens at stevensgary@hotmail.com.
A Wigan Borough Council photographer visited our premises on Monday 9th January and took plenty of good manufacturing shots for a new eCommerce Framework brochure.
We are delighted to help the local economy.
As a relevant aside, we have plenty of pictures and videos of our products and facilities that will be uploaded to our site soon, so be sure to keep checking the site!
400+ delegates including Thomas Smith Fasteners were present at the NDA (Nuclear Decommissioning Authority) Supplier Event held on the 21st November 2011.
This event was the first ever collaborative supply chain event for existing and potential suppliers in the nuclear decommissioning sector. The supply chain spend by SLCs (Site Licensing Companies) in 2010/11 was £1.37bn.
We do carry huge stocks of nuts and bolts, far more than are listed on the shop – our range of imperial is the widest in the UK.
If any items you require are not listed, don’t hesitate to contact us, either online or via telephone on 01942 520 260. We’ll be happy to help, and it’s more than likely we’ll have the item you require in stock.
Further ranges will be added shortly – watch this space!
Congratulations to Ian Douglas, a consultant at Acrastyle Ltd, who won the tool box prize for guessing closest to the number of fasteners in the display container.
There were indeed many thousands, despite most guesses being much lower – one guess was only 455!
