Plain studs provide precise component location during the automated assembly of new generation motor vehicles.
Profil's NBR plain studs have been developed to provide precise component location during the automated assembly of new generation motor vehicles.
The heavy duty, 14mm diameter by 40mm long steel studs use the benefits of the firm's pierce fastening technology to provide high strength, water-tight fixings in plain and coated structural panels, with an absolute positional accuracy of +/-0.2mm.
They are designed for automatic insertion in pressed components as part of their production process.
They are suitable for materials from 0.6 to 4.0mm thick and let vehicle manufacturers take advantage of modular assembly techniques.
"The assured accuracy and consistent placement of our products in every component is ideal for robot-based or machine vision based automated assembly methods," said Profil's Sales Manager, Adrian Ellis.
"Furthermore, their load carrying capabilities and corrosion resistance all contribute to the exceptional cost and quality benefits pierce fastening offers over welded or traditional threaded components".
The NBR stud is suitable for any high volume, sheet metal based manufacturing operation.
There are already trial installations at a number of major motor manufacturers.
