Increased production rates from fastener press
The mid-range Pemserter Tech2t automatic press for installing self-clinching fasteners offers increased production rates and improved insertion quality
PEM self-clinching studs (aluminium or stainless steel) and standoffs (stainless steel) are available in a wide range of unified and metric thread sizes and lengths.
Sheet preparation requires only a blind milled hole to the recommended minimum depth.
Reliable installation can be performed utilizing any standard press, including Pemserter precision presses, which are engineered specifically for installing self-clinching fasteners.
On installation, the head of the fastener is locked securely in the milled blind hole and is able to handle substantial loads.
The concealed-head feature of these fasteners allows the side of the sheet opposite installation to remain smooth.
