Company History
The first Joinlox designs were inspired by the way clams and other seashells attach themselves to rock ledges using anchors at the end of hundreds of small filaments, called byssus threads. These threads, although thin and flexible, have a high tensile strength and can produce a very strong hold when their strength is added together.
This principle was then applied to Joinlox, developing a technology that involves two interlocked edges that quickly mesh together like the teeth of a zipper. A ‘key’ is placed between the interlocking teeth and hammered or levered into place, wedging the parts together. An engineering company did computer modeling stress tests on Joinlox joins and determined that despite the fact that they use less material they could be several times stronger than a bolted flange. The result is a new joining system that is simple, inexpensive, is suitable for a wide variety of materials and strong enough to cover a range of industrial applications. In June 2007 Joinlox was registered, and lodged provisional patents around the world.
Since then the company has developed numerous variations and applications for the unique technology, lodged a number of new patents and delivered innovative joining solutions to some of the worlds largest manufacturers and industry-leading organisations.
Fully reversible, reusable and proven to be stronger than many traditional forms of joints, the Joinlox technology is revolutionising every industry sector.
