In the world of railway engineering, where every millimeter counts and quality admits no failure, traditional welding processes had become a bottleneck. Our client, a leader in the sector, faced a major challenge: how to guarantee perfect welding of stainless steel austenitic sides without sacrificing production times or accepting unacceptable thermal deformations. Excellence is Not […]

In the field of structural engineering and industrial manufacturing, choosing weldable studs is a crucial technical decision when designing a project. Our 40 years of experience show that selecting the right welding studs directly impacts the durability, safety, and functionality of structures. At Bearcat, we understand that every project has its own specific needs. That’s […]

In the world of thin sheet metal fabrication, fastening is often a challenge. The most innovative projects demand solutions that go beyond the standard screw. At Bearcat.es, we know these challenges, which is why our BEARFIX® line includes a wide range of Special Inserts, components designed to integrate very specific functions into your designs. If […]

Bearcat had the privilege of participating in MetalBarcelona 25 on October 1st and 2nd, as part of Advanced Manufacturing Barcelona, the leading event in metal manufacturing, machining, and processing in Catalonia. We sincerely thank all the professionals, clients, and collaborators who visited our stand. It was a pleasure to share with you our most advanced […]

The choice of rivet head goes far beyond personal preference. It determines how the joint is sealed, its strength, and even the final appearance. In this post, we’ll explain the most common types of rivet heads and when to use each one. 1. Dome Head (TT) – The All-Terrain Option Appearance: low and rounded profile. […]

Over the years in our workshop, we’ve seen how many projects become complicated because they try to be solved with generic equipment. The reality is that in stud welding, when facing long production runs, complex geometries, or specific regulations, you need more than just buying a machine. Our process begins with an on-site study where […]

In vehicle manufacturing processes, the reliability of each component determines the efficiency of the entire production line. At Bearcat, we develop specialized engineering solutions for robotic interface systems and production tooling, critical elements in automotive manufacturing. Interface Panels for Robotic Processes RIPS (Robot Interface Plate for Process) and HIPS (Hand Interface Plate for Process) panels […]

At Bearcat, we have been developing fastening solutions for the most demanding industrial sectors for over 40 years. From our facilities in Barberà del Vallès (Barcelona), we work every day to offer technologies that combine precision, speed, and reliability. One of them is capacitor discharge welding, a technique that has transformed the way metal elements […]

Stud welding seems simple… until something goes wrong. What should be a strong joint becomes a weak spot, an unexpected expense, or even a safety risk. After years of observing projects in workshops and construction sites, we’ve identified the five most common mistakes. These are errors you won’t find in manuals — they come from […]

Benefits, Myths, and Prevention Against Metal Fumes Drinking milk during welding work is a common practice in many workshops, especially among stud welders. This habit, passed down from generation to generation, has sparked curiosity and debate: does milk really protect against toxic metal fumes? Is it a myth, or does it have scientific backing? In […]
