Insertion of functional elements

NUTS, BOLTS, STUDS AND MUCH MORE

The element determines the joining process

Do you want to securely insert fasteners such as nuts, bolts or screws into the specified material? Our joining systems and tools process all kinds of functional elements – from rivet bolts to press-in nuts. Simply define the element – we will supply the equipment for joining functional elements.

We offer standard processes for inserting functional elements or develop customised solutions for your application. The element itself determines the appropriate process.
