PEM® Self-Clinching Fasteners: High-Performance Fastening Solutions for Modern Sheet Metal Design

Image
  High-Performance Sheet Metal Fastening Solutions by Bossard In today’s precision-driven manufacturing landscape, PEM®Self-Clinching Fasteners are a proven solution for creating strong, reliable, and space-efficient joints in thin sheet metal assemblies. Engineered by PennEngineering, PEM fasteners are specifically designed for applications where conventional fastening methods such as tapping, welding, or loose hardware are ineffective or inefficient. PEM self-clinching fasteners work by permanently embedding into ductile materials like steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. During installation, the fastener is pressed into a correctly sized hole, allowing the surrounding sheet metal to cold-flow into the fastener’s undercut. This process creates a high-strength mechanical interlock, delivering excellent torque-out resistance, push-out strength, and vibration resistance—all critical requirements in demanding industrial environments. Available in a wide range of configuration...

Robotic Segment: Fastening Elements for High-Performance Robotic Manufacturing

  The Role of Advanced Fastening Elements in High-Performance Robotic Manufacturing The rapid evolution of industrial automation has positioned robotic manufacturing systems as the backbone of modern, high-efficiency production environments. From automotive assembly lines to electronics manufacturing and precision engineering, robots deliver speed, consistency, and accuracy at scale. However, behind every reliable robotic system lies a critical but often underestimated component— robotic segment fastening elements . Fastening elements play a vital role in maintaining the structural integrity, precision, and durability of robotic assemblies. Robotic applications are subject to constant dynamic loads, high vibration, repetitive motion, and thermal variations. Unlike conventional fasteners, robotic fastening solutions must be engineered to deliver vibration resistance, fatigue strength, and long-term stability over millions of operating cycles. Even minimal loosening or micro-m...

Fasteners for Industrial Robotics: Enabling Precision and Reliability with Bossard

Image
  Industrial robotics has become a key driver of automation in sectors such as automotive, electronics, logistics, metal processing, and heavy manufacturing. These robotic systems are designed to operate continuously, handle high loads, and perform tasks with extreme accuracy.
