Eckold DFG 400/50 PH Stationary Clinching Unit
The Eckold DFG 400/50 PH stationary clinching unit is an innovative, proven machine for the joining of sheet metal and profiles. Work pieces are permanently joined by cold forming doing away with fixtures and auxiliary parts. The primary advantage of clinching is the fact that a positive joint can be formed directly from the sheet metal material. The technique is also suitable for the joining of work pieces of different materials and thicknesses.
Features of the DFG 400/50 PH
Affordable stationary solution
Large horizontal and vertical throat
Unparalleled joining results due to adjustable path restriction
High repeatability
Great for continuous load operation
Quiet operation
As there are many different requirements that joints must meet, Eckold offers tailor-made tools and machines, taking into account a customers specific applications. Eckold provides a huge variety of joining options and equipment, so that manufacturers can choose the best solution for their specific clinching tasks. Eckold clinching is a tried and tested method used worldwide in automated production plants with or without robots, Eckold also produces portable clinching tools for smaller operations.
Eckold clinching is taking over the market, as the technique is not only suitable for oiled or coated sheet metal and stainless steel work pieces, but can also join sheet metal elements of varying thickness without issue. Eckold even offers solutions for work pieces made in brittle aluminum alloys and for the joining of non-forming metals such as spring steel with forming materials. Clinching energy consumption is low, and there are no toxic emissions or high noise levels. Compared with conventional joining techniques, Eckold clinching allows for capital cost savings of up to 55 %, while operating costs are typically 25 % lower.
