Hardware Insertion (PEM®)

We press self-clinching PEM® nuts, studs, and standoffs directly into sheet-metal parts, so components arrive at assembly ready to go. No secondary hardware step, no loose parts to chase. Two insertion machines run the hardware: a 618 for flexible short-run work, and a fully automated, self-feeding 1025 that feeds and sets fasteners at production speed for volume runs.

The fully automated, self-feeding 1025 feeds and presents fasteners at production speed, so the operator sets hundreds of insertions an hour without stopping to load hardware, while the 618 handles short runs and odd geometries. Hardware goes in right after forming, so parts arrive at welding and assembly with every nut, stud, and standoff already set.
