The central component of the SPOT CLINCH® joining system is the tooling, or “tool kit”.
These are available for round clinch joints with nominal diameters of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 mm and rectangular point joints with nominal widths of 3, 4, 4.3, 5 and 6 mm.
Non standard dimensions are generally available from diameters of 1.0 to 10 mm.
A multiple tool holder can be used to integrate tool sets into corresponding SPOT CLINCH® portable units, modular work heads or a press.
Design of the segmented die body
The SPOT CLINCH® die comprises a basic die body and individual die segments, which are held in position by a steel spring.
A surrounding cage permanently secures the separate sections to the die body preventing them from falling out.
The die cavity can be formed by 2, 3 or 4 segments with die designs being selected depending on the application requirements.
Punch Strippers
The stripper has two essential functions: keeping the sheet metal flat while clinching and pushing the sheet metal out of the punch during the return of the motion of the tooling.
A number of standard strippers are available, given that accessibility conditions may vary for each application.
Special executions may be supplied if necessary.
