Kato is known for Coil Threaded Inserts. Specifically, helically coiled wire inserts. These are offered in two installation formats: Tanged (where the drive point is removed after insertion & the part must be inserted in correct orientation ) and TANGLESS - where the drive point is built into the threaded coil and the part is uni directional for ease of installation) Both formats are fully Mil approved. The primary use for the inserts is to install threads into aluminum blocks that can be used over and over. If you would like to see a demonstration on Helically installed threads placed into an aluminum block and a then a steel bolt installed and the head broken off with the body of the fastener being removed by finger tips and the hole/threads maintaining full functionality with no damage, please contact me.

This is not all Kato is involved in. The KATO global manufacturing networks provides customer access to a wide range of products and capabilities; high performance hinges, ( similar to those you would find in a laptop, medical or industrial device where you need a door, lid, or other component to maintain a specific orientation upon opening.) insert molding, micro shafts, recording media, precision spring engineering, specialty engineered components, round out the full Kato offering. If you are interested in the full KATO Tanged and Tangless product offering and a FANTASTIC source for FAQ and Solutions for coiled thread installation and use,this is the best link I have found !
