In-die Feeding System

Engineered to install self-clinching nuts, studs, and standoffs in assemblies during the stamping process, PEMSERTER portable In-Die Fastener Feeding System eliminates secondary operations typically required for fastener insertions. Users can realize increased assembly-line productivity, quality, and savings as stamping and fastener-installation can be performed simultaneously in the die. Developed by PennEngineering, the system is virtually “plug and play” by utilizing multi-pin twist lock connectors to interface with the die and stamping press. It can be configured for multiple or single insertions, generally matching the rate of the stamping press. For setup and operation, operators are guided by a touch-screen and online library of fault/help screens. Removable tooling can handle complex work pieces and offers considerable adaptability capable of reaching into areas generally considered inaccessible. Customized tooling can be engineered to meet particular application needs. The In-Die Fastener Feeding System consists of die tooling, fastener-feeding system, and die-sensing system. Customers are fully supported from die design through installation and in-house training.
