What are knobs?
Knobs are mechanical components which allow efficient tightening and loosening of screws. Their best feature is that they are usable without tools.
Advantages of Using Knobs
Higher Work Efficiency Without Tools
The use of knobs increases work efficiency, since tools such as the wrenches and spanners used on screws are no longer required. Efficient in places where screws are frequently handled, such as equipment changeover.
Knob Application Examples
Position Adjustment with Frequent Mounting/Removing

Length Adjustment
Screws can be cut to your desired length in 1mm increments.
Screw Combination
We can fix the female-threaded knob and screw with pins after we adhere them with anaerobic adhesive.
Cleanroom Services
We can wash and pack your products in a cleanroom. This is suggested for products used in FPD production devices, semiconductor manufacturing devices, medical equipment, food and beverage machinery and even products that will be used in cleanrooms.
Special Products
Come to us for production of non-standard knobs as well, including special shapes and colors.
