At EuroBlech 2024, Sherex Fastening Solutions® and Haeger®, both part of the PennEngineering® family, demonstrated a Sherex® rivet nut installation using a Haeger® insertion machine. This demonstration highlights the growing synergy between the PennEngineering® brands, offering customers an integrated solution for fastener installation that reduces overall installation costs.
Demonstrating how Haeger® insertion machines can install a broad range of PEM® fasteners, now including Sherex® rivet nuts, this expanded capability is a major advantage for manufacturers seeking to streamline processes and minimise machine downtime.
“This marks a significant milestone for PennEngineering®,” states Mary Ann Fleming, president of PennEngineering® Europe. “By adding the expertise of rivet nut installation on Haeger® machines, we will offer customers greater flexibility, enabling them to select the optimal fasteners for their applications while keeping installation costs low.”
For Haeger®, the ability to install rivet nuts will further enhance the versatility of its fastener insertion systems. Customers already using Haeger® machines will be able to broaden the range of fasteners they install, reducing the need for additional equipment and tools. This upgrade will also provide more precise installation control, improving production efficiency.
“Haeger® machines offer unmatched accuracy in force and distance control,” explains Mary Ann. “Combined with advanced programming and tooling capabilities, this will enable customers to install rivet nuts with greater precision than traditional hand tools, leading to a superior finished product.”
With this new development, PennEngineering® will continue its mission of driving innovation, offering fastener solutions and advanced installation technologies that improve operational efficiency for manufacturers around the globe.
