- ADVANTAGES OF MECHANICALLY ATTACHED FASTENERS
- Installation in one step, view PROFIL® fastener animations
- Manual, In-die or robotic installation possible
- Overall weight reduction
- Minimum space requirements within the tool
- Minimum tolerances
- Simple installation in every work direction (no evacuation of slugs)
- Joining of high strength steel up to a tensile strength of Rm = 1500 MPa
- Suitable for a wide range of sheet metal thicknesses with only one nut type (t = 0.5mm – 5mm)
- Easy and simple tool maintenance
- All kinds of surface coatings of the sheet metal panels are feasible (no deformation by piercing or riveting)
- Self-piercing, clinching and rivet solutions available
- Solutions for a single or multistage installation available
- Applications in carbon fiber reinforced materials feasible
- Water tight joints in most cases
- Dependable solutions for heavy structural fastening applications
- TYPICAL MOUNTING APPLICATIONS
- Body Panels
- Body Seating
- Instrument Panels
- Controls
- Safety Systems
- Closures
