Dräxlmaier is among the top automotive suppliers in Europe. Its customers include Porsche, Audi, Volkswagen, Daimler and BMW.

At the company’s factory in Sachsenheim, Germany, workers assemble 800-volt battery packs for electric vehicles. Each pack requires hundreds of screws, which are installed both manually and robotically. Every screw connection is classified as “category A” according to the German manufacturing standard VDI/VDE 2862 sheet 1, which governs threaded fasteners and the tools for installing them. “Category A” joints require the highest safety standards.
