OPERATION<br />

Bulk Pierce Nuts are fed into a Multipierce or Multimatic Head<br />

through plastic nut guide from a gravity or power-feed device.<br />

Multipierce Bulk Feed Heads<br />

Constant pressure from the feeder, transmitted through the nuts,<br />

keeps a nut under the plunger when in the “open” or “ready”<br />

position. The press, when lowered, forces the plunger to drive the<br />

nut into the part, supported by a die button. The die button forms<br />

the part material into and around the Pierce Nut undercuts and/or<br />

clinches the nut corners, securing the nut in position.<br />

Multimatic Bulk Feed Heads<br />

Force transmitted through the nuts in the plastic nut guide places a<br />

nut under the nut plunger in the “ready” position and, as the press<br />

cycles, the nut is installed. The plunger prevents a new nut from<br />

being placed into “ready” position until a signal is received from the<br />

part probe, at which time air forces the Head to an “open” position.<br />

Until a signal is received from the part probe the Head will remain<br />

in the “closed” position, preventing nuts from being placed in the<br />

“ready” position. This prevents double hits and potential damage to<br />

the die.<br />

DIE DESIGN INFORMATION<br />

• Multipierce and Multimatic Bulk Feed Heads are designed into a<br />

die in the same manner as Multipierce and Multimatic Reel-Feed<br />

Heads; same access requirements exist.<br />

• Refer to Multipierce and Multimatic sections for Head mounting<br />

dimensions.
