Mechanical joining techniques
For the mechanical joining of your products, with or without joining materials, we offer various solutions that allow production to be fully automated and maintain the high level of quality.
Self Piercing Rivets
Joining different material types, such as joining sheet metal and aluminium parts, requires an optimal process for an optimal and cost-reducing production process. We have experience with die-cutting from all major suppliers such as Böllhoff, Emhart, Henrob and Eckhold. In addition, we offer the option of increasing the strength of the mechanical connection by applying additional adhesive to the materials. Our modular ADAPTIX concept offers the ideal solution for combining the mechanical and adhesive joining processes in one cell.
Flowdrill Screws
Flowdrill screwing difers from normal bolt or screw connectons in the ability of the screw to pierce itself through the materials. This means there is no need to create a hole in the material before startng the joining process. We spin the screw to create heat on the surface of the materials that need to be joined, which will melt into each other and create an opening for the screw. Once the screw is in place, the materials cool down and stay tghtly connected. As fowdrill screws can be single sidedly applied and disassembled for service purposes, this joining technique can be advantageous in various applications.
Clinching
To plastically create a mechanical connection between sheets, we use special tools and a method that does not use heat, called clinching. This joining technique is efficient and cheap to join sheet metals, while our technique ensures that you can always meet the high quality requirements of the product. Partly due to the fact that this technique ensures that the coating of the materials is not affected during the production process.
Combining joining techniques
By combining multiple joining techniques such as mechanical joining and welding or gluing, you can easily reduce logistics operations and make the entire production process faster and cheaper. Without compromising on quality. We can integrate multiple joining techniques in a total solution, so you don’t need multiple machines to set up the production process either. Are you interested in one of our solutions or do you have an important question regarding a non-obvious solution? Then contact us without any obligation to discuss the possibilities.
