Benefit |
| Flush finish on the opposite side to crimping |
Refer to data sheets |
Space gain in assembly |
| Blind installation possible |
FLUSHFIX® design allows crimping even when access to the opposite side of the workpiece is impossible |
Quick easy-fit thread function on a tube, hollow body or profile workpiece |
| High-resistance assembly guaranteed |
Refer to data sheet |
Guaranteed of perfect assembly |
| Correct location of thread and drilling is guaranteed for installation |
Cone-shaped design which guarantees natural self-centring |
Guarantee of perfect assembly from both functional and aesthetic perspectives |
| Guarantee of thread presence after installation |
The thread is essential to insert installation
Its presence is systematically checked during the crimping operation |
An end to scrapping finished workpieces because of missing or damaged threads |
| Can be used on painted workpieces |
FLUSHFIX® crimping does not damage painted workpieces during installation |
Simplification of the process: can be used on pre-painted workpieces |
| Simple installation process |
No welding station or robot - just a simple crimping tool |
The solution immediately covers its own costs |
| Flexibility in installation |
Installation is possible either in the workshop or on-site |
Organisational flexibility |
| High-speed installation rate |
Insert positioning + crimping operation = 3 seconds, that is 1,200 parts per hour, depending on the application |
Improved reactivity
Assembly cost savings |
| Elimination of retapping to remove weld spots |
No welding operation, just a crimping operation |
Elimination of the retapping phase |
| Elimination of retapping to remove excess paint |
Can be used on pre-painted workpieces |
Elimination of the retapping phase
No anticorrosion deterioration, because no thread retapping is necessary |
| Aesthetic solution |
No visible welds |
Aesthetically perfect, without the additional cost of polishing the weld |
| Compatible with all metals (aluminium, steel, etc.) |
Because the insert is installed without heating the material, the process is similar whatever the tube material |
Process savings - whatever the workpiece material |
