Innovative systems for
seized fastener removal

Powered by electro-discharge machining (EDM) technology, our innovative FastEDR and ARTES systems safely and efficiently remove seized fasteners without the use of heat, force, or chemicals.

FastEDR is a portable tool that accelerates aerospace maintenance processes by enabling rapid disassembly, while virtually eliminating the risk of component damage.

ARTES is a high throughput, large-format EDM machine that simplifies remanufacturing by removing seized fasteners while unattended. It stands for ‘Automated Remanufacturing Towards Environmental Sustainability’ and transforms scrap metal into valuable components.

Our solutions increase business productivity and efficiency, providing certainty of scheduling through repeatable, measurable processes. This minimises downtime and consequent costs. They don’t require specialist expertise to operate, and have been designed to be operator-friendly and intuitive.

See how FastEDR works

Our portable fastener removal tool helps boost the speed of aerospace maintenance, by enabling rapid disassembly while virtually eliminating risk of component damage.

The benefits

Increased operator safety

Increased operator safety

Unpredictable maintenance operations carry significant risk to the workforce, procedures which minimise this take time and can be costly to implement. FastEDR technology provides a safer solution, where high forces, significant heat and toxic chemicals can be avoided.

Cut process times by up to 80%

Cut process times by up to 80%

Removal of seized components results in significant downtime across sectors. Scintam’s purpose built technology can reduce this downtime drastically, getting systems back online sooner. Compared to traditional methods FastEDR reduces repair process times by up to 80%.

Certainty during scheduling

Certainty during scheduling

Whether the application is one where seized components are inevitable, or if they are an occasional issue, uncertainty over whether they can be causes problems. By having FastEDR on hand, this uncertainty can be eliminated, making scheduling more accurate and reliable.

Damage rates 95% lower than competitors

Reduced damage rates

Scrap is reduced by ensuring the correct tool is always used, located and confirmation data is received by the operator. Our specialist tools are purpose built for the job, meaning problems such as misalignment and slippage only occur in the most extreme cases.

Predictable & repeatable

Predictable & repeatable

FastEDR uses physical engineering controls to ensure that the tools function correctly and consistently. Further closed loop software controls and data storage mean that quality is assured and can be audited at the push of a button. Our tools fit into your processes.

Portable and adaptable

Portable and adaptable

Adaptability is at the core of our tools, they can be easily moved to where they are needed, reconfigured to each scenario, and used with high levels of operator assurance. This makes our tools indispensable for both planned and unplanned maintenance operations.
