Innovative Fastening for Modern Manufacturing: MultiMaterial-Welding™ & bigHead® Fasteners

Bossard Specific Fastening Technologies: Welding Technology, Embedding, and Surface Bonding Fasteners

Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation by creating lighter and more advanced products. Whether in vehicles, electronics, or industrial applications, reducing weight without compromising performance is a top priority. To achieve this, manufacturers are turning to modern materials such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, aluminum, and magnesium. However, assembling these lightweight materials can be challenging, requiring advanced fastening technologies.

MultiMaterial-Welding™ (MM-W™)

Bossard’s MultiMaterial-Welding™ (MM-W™) is a groundbreaking fastening technique that uses ultrasonic vibrations to install composite fasteners into honeycomb and sandwich materials. This innovative solution offers several key benefits:

  • Speed and Efficiency: Faster than conventional fastening methods, reducing production time.
  • Higher Mechanical Strength: Provides superior strength compared to traditional solutions.
  • No Gluing or Pre-Drilling: Eliminates the need for adhesive bonding or pre-drilling, streamlining the assembly process.
  • Enhanced Flexibility: Offers greater shape diversity and design adaptability.
  • Seamless Integration: Allows for easy incorporation into functional parts.

By adopting MM-W™, manufacturers can significantly enhance their production efficiency while maintaining high structural integrity in lightweight applications.

Embedding and Surface Bonding Fasteners

For lightweight applications, bigHead® fasteners are a reliable and versatile choice. These fasteners are designed to be embedded or surface-mounted using structural adhesives, offering flexibility and durability. Their wide range of applications includes:

  • Cabin panels and interior trims
  • Exterior cladding and bumpers
  • Light clusters and molded panels
  • Front-end modules and bump stops

bigHead® fasteners are available in various configurations, including:

  • Threaded studs, collars, and nuts
  • Pins, nails, and loops
  • Cable tyraps and mounting accessories

By using bigHead® fasteners, OEMs can streamline their assembly processes, reduce weight, and enhance the durability of their products.

Conclusion

Bossard’s MultiMaterial-Welding™ and bigHead® fasteners are transforming lightweight assembly by offering speed, strength, and versatility. These advanced fastening solutions help manufacturers create innovative, reliable, and efficient products without adding unnecessary weight.

Benefits of Speed Rivets

Image
Everyone wants the tool that is going to streamline their processes. Fortunately, Bossard’s semi-automatic fastening system utilized with Speed Rivets is one of those invaluable tools.  Speed Rivets are designed for a rapid installation, perfect for quickly fastening different materials and thicknesses. Electronic applications, vehicle construction, household appliances and metal cabinets are among the different applications that Speed Rivets are ideal for.  How It Works  Speed Rivets are pre-loaded on a mandrel, where they’ll be introduced into the nose of the riveting tool for continuous fastening up to 70 rivets per minute.  Tool actuation pulls the mandrel through the rivet, expanding it within the hole. This provides high clamping capability and secure joints. With controlled wear and tear of the disposable mandrel head used for the rivet expansion, rigorous clamping of all rivets is achieved.  The standard Speed rivet is capable of achieving high clampi...
