A sheet metal clinching machine forms a mechanical interlock directly out of the parent material, so the sheets are joined with no added fastener at all. Because the process is entirely cold, there is no heat-affected zone, no distortion on thin gauge, no spatter to dress off and no damage to zinc, paint or powder coating. For fabricators this usually means a part goes straight from the press to assembly with no rework station in between.

Typical applications

• Sheet metal fabrication and job-work shops
• Pre-galvanised and colour-coated sheet assemblies
• Thin-gauge panels where spot welding causes distortion
• White goods and appliance bodies
• Roofing, cladding and profile sheet assemblies
