This demonstration highlighted the growing synergy between both PennEngineering companies.
The demonstration shows how Haeger insertion machines can install a broad range of PEM fasteners, and now Sherex rivet nuts. This expanded capability is an advancement for manufacturers seeking to streamline processes and minimise machine downtime.
“This marks a significant milestone for PennEngineering,” according to Mary Ann Fleming, president, PennEngineering Europe. “By adding the expertise of rivet nut installation on Haeger machines, we will offer customers greater flexibility, enabling them to select the optimal fasteners for their applications while keeping installation costs low.”
For Haeger, the ability to install rivet nuts will further enhance the versatility of its fastener insertion systems. Customers already using Haeger machines will be able to broaden the range of fasteners they install, reducing the need for additional equipment and tools. This upgrade will also provide more precise installation control, improving production efficiency.
"Haeger machines offer unmatched accuracy in force and distance control," Fleming explained. "Combined with advanced programming and tooling capabilities, this will allow customers to install rivet nuts with greater precision than traditional hand tools, leading to a superior finished product."
