Benefit |
| Blind installation possible |
CLUFIX-STUD™ design allows crimping even where the workpiece is only accessible from one side |
Quick easy-fit screwing function on a tube, hollow body or profile workpiece |
| High-resistance assembly guaranteed |
Refer to data sheets |
Guarantee of perfect assembly |
| Control of the perpendicularity of the stud/workpiece installation interface |
Installation carried out through axial traction, guaranteeing that perpendicularity to the workpiece is correct |
Perfect assembly guaranteed in terms of both functional and geometrical aspects |
| Guarantee of screw thread presence and compliance with requirements after installation |
Screw thread compliance is essential to the correct installation
Its presence is therefore systematically checked during the crimping operation |
An end to scrapping finished workpieces because of missing or damaged threads |
| Can be used on painted workpieces |
CLUFIX-STUD™ crimping does not damage painted metal sheet during installation |
Simplification of the process: can be used on pre-painted workpieces |
| Simple installation process |
No welding station or robot - just a simple crimping tool |
1) The solution immediately covers its own costs
2) No special skills required |
| Flexibility in installation |
Assembly is possible either in the workshop or on-site |
Organisational flexibility |
| High-speed installation rate |
Insert positioning + crimping operation = 3 seconds, that is 1,200 parts per hour, depending on the application |
Improved reactivity
Assembly cost savings |
| Fastener does not require protection |
No welding operation, just crimping
=> no weld spots
Can be installed after the workpiece has been painted |
Elimination of reworking phases |
| Aesthetic solution |
No visible welding seam or weld spots |
Completely aesthetic, yet without polishing costs or assembly deterioration (burns and deformations) => no scrap |
| Can be used on all materials (metals, composites, etc.) |
No heating of the material during installation |
No additional costs - whatever the material used |
