Clinching & Self Piercing Rivets
CLINCHING
Join multi-layer carbon steel, aluminum, copper, and stainless steel sheets with combined thickness up to 0.787" (20mm). The advantages of clinching:
green technology; no welding fumes
no heat affected zone
low training requirements
easily join un-weldable or dissimilar material
easily join pre-coated material with no preparation
minimal maintenance
portable and easily customized
high cycle speeds
join 2 to 3 layers
easily inspected via go/no-go gauging
SELF-PIERCING RIVETS
Join multi-layer carbon steel, aluminum, copper, and stainless steel sheets with combined thickness up to 0.787" (20mm). The advantages of self-piercing rivets:
green technology; no welding fumes
all the same benefits as clinching
joint strength is comparable to spot weld
join up to 6 layers of material
high energy efficiency joint
one side of the layer stackup remains flat
