An ever increasing diversity of models and variants, new designs and materials as well as decreasing development times and product cycles lead to new and manifold tasks when connecting the most different materials. To meet these high requirements to the connection technology, fastening elements and processing systems must be perfectly designed and harmonized.
Böllhoff, as a specialist for fastening and assembly technology, and FRIMO, as specialist for tooling and machinery, have jointly developed an integrated new process - the so called OneShot process.
The self-punching fastening system is based on innovative tooling and newly developed fastening elements. The punching of the hole, the removing of the waste and the inserting of the fastening element as well as the beading take place in just one step. This process is suitable for thin structure components made of fiber-reinforced plastics such as e.g. GMT, CFK, SMC and PP long fiber.
The advantages at one glance:
- Simple and safe production process in only one step
- Suitable for large series production due to high process-reliability
- Locating the hole afterwards is no longer necessary
- Clearance free fit between fastening element and component
- High level of ejection - anti rotation safety
- Clean cutting of anisotropic fiber structures
- Minimized access length on the backside
