Self Clinch Stud Press

The project required the insertion of studs inside a metal stamping part.

The metal part presented very loose tolerances and required the insertion of studs in multiple points, while ensuring low cost of the machine.

LG AUTOMATION delivered a semi-automatic concept with a single stud inserter.

The operator would place the metal stamping part in different nests to allow a guiding tube and a press to insert the stud in each position.

The station was able to insert the stud in multiple positions, being assisted by the operator. It integrated technologies such as:

  • TOX Persotechnik press.
  • SEKI stud feeders.
  • Allen Bradley PLC & HMI.
  • Keyence Safety Light Curtains.
