Process Highlight: STAKING

Staking allows us to manufacture assemblies composed of varied materials, including plastic and metal, while eliminating the use of additional connecting hardware. Using this method, we create assemblies with increased efficiency, economy, bearing engagement and resistance. Our rotary table staking capabilities include nut and bolt and wireform staking.

Process Highlight: RIVITING

With riveting, we rapidly and permanently join two metal parts, using a rivet. This allows for assemblies of hardened heat treated or different alloy metals to produce finished components of varying dimensions and materials. A straight metal piece, with a previously formed head, is inserted tail-first through precisely punched holes in both parts. The tail end is then pounded or otherwise altered to form a second head, which allows the rivet to expand, completely filling the space and fastening the assembly at both ends. Our riveting capabilities include both spin (orbital) riveting and impact riveting.
