CLINCHING
Cold assembly by clinching. Radial and orbital clinching to join different thermoplastic materials or thermoplastic articles with components made of another kind of material, for example metal.
CLINCHING
Clinching is a cold-assembly technique used to insert into plastics inserts made of plastics or other materials, for example metal. The clinching device is made by a punch that deforms the rivet or any other insert in a uniform way.
There are two kinds of clinching, depending on the kind of deformation to obtain:
- orbital clinching
- radial clinching
Insertion by clinching can be applied to articles produced by means of injection moulding, extrusion moulding, compression moulding, thermoforming, blow moulding, suction 2D/3D (2k) and rotational moulding.
Among the articles clinched by the customized machines of GS Finishing Machines there are the following, listed as an example: battery boxes, automotive pedalboards, supports for the steering column, filter boxes, tanks, pipes, conveyor ducts, light cases and accessory components of any nature.
