Why <strong>Eckold</strong><br />

clinching?<br />

<strong>Clinching</strong> costs<br />

at low cost.<br />

Cost comparisons of customers and independent bodies have shown that <strong>Eckold</strong><br />

clinching is significantly more cost-effective than other joining techniques.<br />

Depending on the joining task, the overall costs for the manufacture of a clinched<br />

component are approximately 55% of the costs for spot welding, for example.<br />

This takes account of both investment costs and operating costs.<br />

• Optional versions (R-DF, S-DF, H-DF and CONFIX) for the ideal joint to solve<br />

individual problems<br />

• Sheets of aluminium alloys or non-formable materials such as spring steels<br />

can be joined with a formable material by means of the CONFIX variation<br />

• Joining elements with the greatest holding forces<br />

• Compensates for fluctuations in sheet thickness<br />

• Joining of oil-impregnated sheets possible
