FASTENER PRESSES EXTEND NORTHERN PRECISION’S SINGLE-SOURCE EXPERTISE

Northern Precision (http://www.npfasteners.com/index.htm), the independent market-leading supplier of fasteners as well as special-purpose turned and cold formed parts, has reinforced its capabilities as a single-source fastening specialist by also offering advice to customers on self-clinching fastener presses.

By adding applications expertise concerning both the Haeger 618-Plus insertion machine and the LCM Prima inserter to its one-stop fastener supply repertoire, Northern Precision now offers users in companies of all sizes a complete ‘supply and fit’ solution based around the recommendation of these cost-effective machines as well as the supply of 5,000 in-stock standard line items, and special-purpose turned and cold formed parts.

Rated at up to eight tons, the Haeger 618-Plus has a 457 mm throat depth and an adjustable stroke length of 0 to 200 mm. The machine can insert at 1,200/hour (at 25 mm stroke) and has an adjustable 10 to 215 mm vertical upstroke and features a variable dwell timer for use with hard materials.

With a six ton rating, the complementary LCM Prima machine – which will be on permanent display and available for demonstration at Northern Precision’s Doncaster site - can be fitted with accessories that allow fasteners to be easily inserted into either box- or C-type workpieces, and will accommodate materials of 3 mm thick.
