Sheet Metal Joining, often called “Clinching”, is a cost-saving alternative to spot-welding, threaded fastening and riveting. The reason for these cost savings is the ability to achieve joint strength requirements while eliminating the need for costly commodities such as weld tips and fasteners. The foundation of BTM’s Sheet Metal Joining Systems is the patented TogL-Loc Tooling System, which produces a clean, strong and consistent joint in most coated, non-coated and dissimilar materials. BTM also manufactures a complete line of standard products used in the manufacture of appliances. Standard products are utilized in work holding, clinching and piercing applications and include pneumatic power clamps, grippers, locators, air toggle presses and air/oil intensifying presses. These products can be integrated in a machine built by BTM, or by your local OEM. n Enter 510 b lco is an international engineering oriented company supplying innovative fan motors and ventilation solutions for the refrigeration and HVAC industry.
