Fastener Insertion Machines & Tooling

Fastener elements such as nuts, studs, rivets or screws can be pressed into almost any material. At TOX® PRESSOTECHNIK, we specialize in functional element insertion, offering enormous expertise to our customers.

Although there are many element types, our insertion process comes down to 4 basic elements:

• Self-clinching elements, which deform the component
• Self-piercing elements, which punch their own hole
• Press-in elements, which are inserted into an existing hole
• Riveting elements which clamp themselves into the pre-punched metal when being inserted

Below is a list of common fasteners that our machines press in:

• Pierce nuts
• Pierce studs
• Clinch nuts
• Clinch studs
• Weld nuts
• Weld studs

For all of these elements, TOX® PRESSOTECHNIK provides the complete process expertise and the best technological solutions.

In the past functional elements such as pierce & weld nuts, pierce & weld studs were often welded to a larger piece part. Inserting them by pressing offers various advantages:

• Fast and reproducible processes
• Energy-saving procedure
• Automatic feeding of the elements

All inserting technologies have one thing in common: they all need feeding and placing systems so the elements find their way from their package into the right place.
