Tabs
Tab overview
Tabs are small amounts of metal that connect pieces to parent sheet metal and make handling and inventorying easier. A tab on an interior part simply slides into a notch on a chassis or box. This can help more precisely locate the part before riveting or welding.
Tab parameters
A tab has the following basic parameters:
- Width.
- Length.
