Customized developments are our strength

Some projects cannot be realized with standard solutions. Thus, custom design fasteners with suitable automation are required. However, most system suppliers only sell standard products. Fastener manufacturers also often only have standard fasteners in their product range.

Finding a vendor who is also capable of developing customized fasteners is not easy. You will also not find another system supplier who does both developing special design fasteners and corresponding automation.

autoriv fasteners automation standard solution special solution advantages overview

Thanks to our many years of experience as a toolmaker and our large development capacity, custom developments are our strength and a unique selling point on the market. Our special solutions come from our modular system, which has been built up over decades and proven in series production.

Your benefits

  • Many years of experience as a toolmaker and know-how in both fasteners and their automation distinguishes us from other system suppliers
  • Guaranteed process-reliable automation
  • Standard and special solutions based on our tested and proven modular systems
  • Short development and delivery times with low costs and high availability

Automation of special design fasteners

If your specific requirements cannot be met with our standard application, we will be happy to provide you with a suitable custom solution. We are able to realize all conceivable requirements if standards are not sufficient for this. Our proven modular system is the foundation for this.

We are happy to make adjustments to our standard fasteners for you. A variety of parameters, related to the field of application, geometry, characteristics and surface of the fastener, are optimized according to your requirements.

Application example

Rivet nut and spacer bushing in a transfer tool

Sheet metal part, rivet nut and spacer bushing - Assembly in transfer tool

Our customer's task was to develop a combination of a rivet nut and spacer bushing. These two fasteners should be automatically assembled in just one single stage in the transfer tool. This setting process takes place in a a single die station, which is at a 90-degree angle to the stamping direction. This is done in a very small working area.

We have developed the fasteners required for this, rivet nut and spacer bushing. We have run through a series of necessary application tests to validate the process.

The fasteners were developed with the consideration of being able to set them process-safely in the transfer tool. Thus, the development of fasteners took place simultaneously with the development of the automation technology.

With our profound know-how in the critical areas, a project of this complexity could be realized effectively and successfully.

Application example

Special rivet and bushing in a progressive die

Sheet metal component, special rivet and sliding bushing - Assembly in progressive die

The task was to assemble our special design fasteners, a special rivet and a glide bearing bushing with a wall thickness of 0.5 mm, automatically by flanging with calibration of the inside diameter in a progressive die.

Initially, the assembly of this component should have been done completely outside the press in a subsequent operation as orbital riveting. Due to a detail modification in the riveting area, we were able to bypass the orbital riveting process and assemble both fasteners under the press. This eliminated various subsequent work steps, which resulted in significant cost savings for our customer.

For this application, we were also the only supplier who could realize a project of this complexity effectively and successfully.
