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
The PEM R'Angle product line includes both self-tapping and steel threaded types, which install permanently in metal sheets as thin as 1mm.
Self-tapping Type RAA aluminium clinch fasteners are designed for use in aluminium sheets, requiring only a thread-forming screw in sizes 4-40, 6-32 or 8-32 or M3 or M4 to complete final assembly.
Threaded Type RAS steel clinch fasteners in sizes 4-40, 6-32 and 8-32 or M3 and M4 can be installed either in aluminium or steel sheets and accept standard machine screws.
Their benefits for an assembly include more predictable designs and tighter design control, improved shielding characteristics, material and assembly cost savings, reduction of loose hardware, unmarred panel surfaces, and elimination of welding.
