How Haeger machines increase productivity and quality in metal manufacturing
Automated installation of mechanical fasteners can reduce production costs, ensure consistent results and increase capacity. With Haeger insertion machines and PEM® self-clinching fasteners, metalworking companies can establish an efficient, controlled installation process tailored to their components and production requirements.
When the installation process limits production
Installing mechanical fasteners has a direct impact on production time, quality and costs. If the process involves many manual operations or frequent tool changes, it can limit capacity and make it more difficult to achieve consistent results.
A Haeger insertion machine automates the installation process and provides better control over the workflow. This makes the machines relevant to metalworking companies looking to streamline the installation of PEM® self-clinching fasteners and other mechanical components.
Automated installation with a high level of process control
Haeger machines are designed for installing mechanical fasteners and can be configured to suit the components used in production. Depending on the model, the machine can, among other things, handle multiple fastener types, change tools automatically and feed components directly into the installation process.
The built-in safety and quality systems help deliver consistent, reliable results. Automation also makes it possible to reduce production and operating costs. In one specific customer solution, a short payback period for the investment was documented, while productivity tripled.
Choose the machine to suit your production
The right insertion machine depends on factors such as the number of different components to be handled, the need for automated feeding, the required insertion force and the size of the workpieces.
The Haeger range includes both flexible machines for varied production and more automated solutions with integrated tool management.
- Haeger 824™ OneTouch® 5e: Features an integrated tooling station with space for four different tool types, as well as automatic retraction, indexing and positioning.
- Haeger 824™ OneTouch® 5e LITE: Combines flexibility and productivity, with features including fastener recognition and detection of studs and standoffs from two stations.
- Haeger 824™ WindowTouch® 5e: A versatile solution for a wide variety of components, with simple tool setup, quick programming and a focus on operator ergonomics.
- Haeger 824™ MSP 5e: A fully hydraulic, energy-efficient machine with 72 kN insertion force and a 610 mm throat depth. It can handle up to four different components and can be upgraded with automatic feeding and tool protection.
- Haeger 618™ MSP 5e: A smaller model with 54 kN insertion force and a 450 mm throat depth. It offers the same basic features and optional extras as the 824™ MSP 5e.
- PEMSERTER® Series 4®: A pneumatic insertion machine for PEM® self-clinching fasteners with adjustable insertion force from 1.8 to 53.4 kN.
Lower costs and greater production capacity
An automated installation process can deliver tangible improvements across production. Faster, more consistent installation reduces the cost per workpiece and makes it possible to increase capacity without compromising quality.
At the same time, shorter production times and faster delivery can strengthen the company’s competitiveness. A service and repair agreement can also help ensure reliable operation through scheduled maintenance and access to technical assistance if the machine needs repair.
