Bolt sizes range from M2 to M48+ with production speeds of 25-300 pieces/minute. Proprietary technical innovations include vertical 90-degree flip clamping technology, zero-gap sliding table operation, servo feeding systems, and warm/hot hydraulic forming with sub-5/100-second die contact time. The company holds 100+ patents including 27 invention patents, leads national science and technology major project execution, drafts national standards, and operates a provincial enterprise research institute with university partnerships including Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Shanghai University.

The company generates revenue through one-time capital equipment sales (no recurring licensing fees) via direct enterprise field sales for domestic markets and an in-house International Trade Department for exports. After-sales support is delivered through 10 service locations across China. Primary customers are fastener manufacturers (Ningbo's fastener cluster representing over 25% of national production), automotive suppliers (Dongfeng, aerospace fastener manufacturers like 3536厂 and 694厂), and power/energy equipment manufacturers.
