PROFIL fasteners are suitable for use in different materials.

The mechanical joining Technology allows an optimal material selection and solves quality problems.

• Optimal economic efficiency
• Compared to standard joining procedures, mechanical attachment costs about a third less because the number of intermediate steps such as temporary storage, transport within the plant, welding and quality assurance measures is greatly reduced. The investment costs are lower than those for thermal procedures. There are no costs for follow-up work.
• Process security
• High static and dynamic stability of the fastening
• Suitable for surface-coated metals and sandwich metals
• Suitable for many different kinds of metal materials, from aluminium to high strength steels (Rm = 1500 MPa tensile strength)
• Highly accurate positioning
• No functional impairment or damage to components, e.g. by weld spatters
• No effects on the environment or production of waste materials as a result of the process

For automatic manufacturing the fasteners are processed in the sorting and feeding unit, positioned correctly and fed into the piece head.
