Application and Function
Suitable for: Insertion in metal sheets with tensile strength less than 600N/mm². It can be used in galvanized, painted metal sheets
Sheet metal bottom: Embossing on sheet metal around the thread
Pilot hole preparation: Pre-punched pilot hole according to AUTORIV specifications, for thin sheets additional embossing
Die: Use of an die with embossing collar
Installation: Embossing die moves and shapes the material into the collar undercut
Outer diameter - pull through force: Large head diameter, also suitable for aluminum applications, good pull through force
Under-head serration - torque: Narrow lengthwise under-head ribs for high torque absorption
Collar - push-out force: Collar with undercut to provide push out forces
Highlights
- 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, possible with suitable AUTORIV thread end
- Ensuring optimal pressing: No "Not-OK 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
