Functional sequence of the clinch studs
All tool components are retrieved from a standard modular system. In this way, project-related punching heads and dies can be matched within very short time. There are different systems for feeding the nuts. The best possible solution can be configured for every part or every customer.
The simple but intelligent design of all system components ensures reliable function at all stages of the process. This system is used in innumerable volume production applications in the automotive, household appliances and electrical industries. In some applications, the automatic punches install up to 600 nuts a minute or up to 30 nuts in one stroke in large parts processed on press lines.
