Hardware insertion on a PEMSERTER press.

A PEMSERTER Series 2000 press sets self-clinching nuts, studs and standoffs into sheet before it goes to the powder line, so the hardware in your assembly arrives threaded, square and flush. Tell us the fastener part numbers on the print and we stock them for the run. For a chassis or enclosure that will be assembled a thousand times downstream, this is the step that decides how well it goes together.

Hardware insertion in detail

Hardware is set on the flat, before forming where the press can reach it and always before the powder coat so the thread stays clean. The PEMSERTER press holds the insertion force to the fastener specification, which is the difference between a nut that stays put and one that spins in the panel.

For a chassis or enclosure that is going to be assembled a thousand times downstream, this is the step that determines how well the assembly goes together. Tell us the fastener part numbers on the print and we stock them for the run.
