Joining sheet metal - Import export

The future is lightweight – with Flexweld®. Flexweld®, the unique joining process, offers countless benefits, with one of the biggest advantages being the considerable weight ­reduction in the age of lightweight construction. Moreover, no additional machinery is required to incorporate it into an existing car body assembly line. significant weight saving, which provides long-term reduction in CO2 emissions joins lightweight materials to high-strength metals can be incorporated into existing assembly lines since it is possible to use the same production and welding equipment no additional qualification for workers needed complete system including full feeder and processing technology mixed production possible by adapting the spot weld gun software

With PIAS® pierce-clinch nuts (square) and RIVTEX® (ROUND) a non-detachable metal fastening can be created at optimum cost. The pierce-clinching technology is suitable for steel and aluminium sheets, causes very little cost for inspection and control, and allows several pierce-clinch screws to be processed in a single stroke. PIAS® and RIVTEX® pierce-clinch nuts offer the following advantages over welded nuts: corrosion-resistant no weld spatter on the thread no thermal weakening at the fastening position self-piercing higher torque requirements high process reliability in fully-automated processing flush-mounted processing processing can be manual, semi or fully automated self-locking thread possible
