Distinguishable
Characteristics of PennEngineering's
In-Die Installation System
I.
True Positional Tolerance
Typically, this is +/- .05
where competition is as high as +/- .15.
The close relationship between
the hole and the fastener being
installed provides accuracy.
II.
Perpendicularity of Studs/Pins
While this is dependent upon
the type and thickness of material, size
and length of the fastener
and installation methodology, typically our
parts are within 1°
of perpendicularity to the mounting surface.
III. Fasteners are Always Captured
Our fasteners are never in
a loose state within the die so there is zero
risk for tool damage. Every
tool is application specific to account for all
possible variables involving
safety and productivity.
IV.
Positional Capability
With the ability to install
top-down, bottom-up and on compound angles,
there are few areas that are
inaccessible. By working with the component
designer, the tooling designer,
the die maker and the stamping supplier,
optimization of all variables
is possible. This represents a cohesive
design effort.
V.
Reduced Tooling Costs
Die designers can benefit
from minimized maching requirements by
working with our Pro-Die team.
Preferred installation is in the final
sequence where variation is
limited.
VI.
Flush Fasteners
No need to design a coined
area on the opposite side of the installation
area, as PEM® fasteners
are flush on the working side. This is one less
variable to contend with.
The fastener supplier is also the system
supplier.
VII. Removable Tools/Portability of the Delivery System
You can pull the install tools
from the die without pulling the die, the bowl
can be moved to another press
and tracks can be On/Off as applications
dictate.
