A C-frame clinching press is the production workhorse of rivetless joining. The open C-shaped frame lets you reach into the middle of a panel rather than only along its edge, so the joint can be placed where the design needs it instead of where the machine allows. We build the frame around your component’s reach and clearance requirement, which is why throat depth is specified per order rather than sold from a fixed catalogue.

Typical applications

• Production lines replacing spot welding or riveting
• Deep-reach joints in the middle of large panels
• Multi-station assembly cells
• Applications comparable to TOX and toggle-press systems
• High-volume repetitive joining with consistent quality
