Application and function
Suitable for: Sheet metal with a tensile strength of less than 600N/mm²; can be used in galvanized, painted sheet metal
Sheet metal bottom: Flat without indentation, optimal fastening characteristics (clamping with a large surface area)
Pilot hole preparation: Pre-punched pilot hole according to AUTORIV specifications
Die: Use of a flat die (optimal downtimes)
Functionality: Torque absorbers move and shape the material into the collar undercut
Outer diameter - pull through force: Small outer diameter as standard for use in limited installation space. Outer diameter can be configured for specific application
Under-head serration - torque: Under-head knurls for high torque absorption
Collar - push out force: Collar with undercut to provide push out forces
Highlights
- Lighter C-frame on the robot
- Larger projections / overhangs possible
- Shorter cycle times
- Pressing into undercuts or profiles is easier to handle than with other fasteners
Lower risk of warping of workpieces, especially with many setting positions
- Lower risk of warping of work pieces
- Flat sheet metal bottom with largest surface possible for the preload through tightening
- No diversity, less stock requirement
- No risk of mix-up (Incorrect fasteners in incorrect application)
- (Re-)use of existing automation / tooling, thus reduction of investment
Greater compensation possible with custom design
- Ensuring optimal pressing: No "NOK pressings" with risk of subsequent complaints and quality costs
- No frequent re-teaching of the robot necessary
- Ensuring high availability and output, thus cost reduction
Setting in limited installation spaces is possible
