In just 12 months, Intelligent Fixings’ innovative Peanut Connecting System has made strong connections globally.
The Peanut1 is the self-clamping single component connector, for use with CNC machines, production is quick and efficient, as only one machining process is required. The Peanut2 is the self-clamping invisible connector. It is ideal for boring and insertion machines. Both Peanuts create incredibly strong joints, pack flat when pre-inserted and can be reassembled many times.
Intelligent Fixings’ starter packs received ‘phenomenal’ feedback at the Interzum and Ligna events in Germany
The attraction of the system is its simplicity and product high-quality, at affordable prices. Excitingly, the company has now developed a new jig for use with handheld routers. It will enable smaller workshops and carpenters to use the simple Intelligent Fixings (IF) connecting system too. This will be available later this year.
After launching to the European market at Interzum and Ligna with phenomenal success, starter packs comprising of both the Peanut1 and Peanut2 components, a solid carbide bespoke Peanut cutter, a 25mm high performance drill bit and a 5mm solid carbide drill bit, have proved very popular for the early adopters to trial the system. With contacts from over 80 countries, the Peanuts have been dispatched to all four corners of the globe!
