At EuroBlech 2024, Sherex Fastening Solutions® and Haeger®, both part of the PennEngineering® family, will debut a demonstration of a Sherex® rivet nut installation using a Haeger® insertion machine. This demonstration highlights the growing synergy between brands within the PennEngineering® portfolio, offering customers an integrated solution for fastener installation and reducing overall installation costs.
The demos, scheduled for October 22 - 25 at the sheet metal working technology exhibition, will demonstrate how Haeger® insertion machines can install a broad range of PEM fasteners, and now Sherex® rivet nuts. This expanded capability is a major advancement for manufacturers seeking to streamline processes and minimize machine downtime.
“This marks a significant milestone for PennEngineering®,” said Mary Ann Fleming, President, 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," Fleming explained. "Combined with advanced programming and tooling capabilities, this will allow 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 industry-leading fastener solutions and advanced installation technologies that improve operational efficiency for manufacturers around the globe.
