Clinching Technology
We utilize automated Haeger® presses to install self-clinching nuts, studs, and standoffs that become a permanent part of the substrate.
Self-Clinching Nuts
Permanent high-strength internal threads (PEM style) for thin sheets where tapping is not feasible.
Standoffs & Spacers
Automated insertion of threaded pillars for PCB mounting and structural parallel plate alignment.
Threaded Studs
Flush-mount external threaded fasteners for grounding points and component mounting applications.
Design for
Self-Clinching
Proper hole sizing and edge distance are critical to prevent sheet deformation during high-pressure insertion.
Hole Tolerance
Clinching holes must be within +0.08mm / -0.00mm. We recommend laser cutting for perfect fitment.
Edge Distance
The center of the hole should be at least 2.5x the hole diameter from any edge to prevent bulging.
Material Hardness
The substrate must be softer than the fastener. Most Al and CRS grades are perfectly compatible.

The
Assembly Path
Our configurator identifies hole networks for self-clinching hardware and assigns the correct press tools automatically.
Fastener Mapping
Upload your CAD. Our system detects standard PEM® hole sizes and prompts you to select the corresponding hardware (Nuts, Studs, Standoffs).
Tagging & Pressure
Indicate which holes receive hardware. Our engine calculates the required insertion force based on material type and thickness.
Automated Pressing
Once confirmed, the design is queued for our automated Haeger® presses where pressure is strictly controlled for a permanent lock.
