Haeger 824 OneTouch 5e
Haeger 824 Window Touch
Haeger HP6-C
Amada ID40IV HP-NT
Haeger 824 OneTouch 5e
This PC-based machine has a Touch-Screen Operator Interface that allows for offline programming effectively reduces cost by saving set up time and providing reliable, repeatable results for self-clinching fastener insertion. The 4 bowl (Auto Feed) offers quick and easy automatic tool change-over between Metric and English fastener types ranging from M3 to 1⁄4-20 in one handling.
Haeger 824 Window Touch
This PC-based machine has a Touch-Screen Operator Interface that effectively reduces cost by saving set up time and providing reliable, repeatable results for self-clinching fastener insertion. The multi-shuttle (Auto Feed) offers quick and easy tool change-over between Metric and English fastener types ranging from M3 to 1⁄4-20 in one handling.
Haeger HP6-C
DAWSON also maintains two Haeger HP6-C 6 ton manual insertion presses. These presses are used for projects that require large sized fasteners or have five or more unique types, allowing for uninterrupted production runs.
DAWSON utilizes the latest in spot welding technology from Amada for resistance weld nuts and studs.
Common Solutions
Spin Riveting
Ideal when vibration resistance is required.
Rivet Nuts
Provide strong, load-bearing threads.
Rivets
Economical solution when parts are to be permanently fastened together – before or after finish.
Self Clinching Fasteners
Use for cosmetic appearance, better thread strength than tapped holes, or material that is too thin to tap.
Stud Welding
A proven process for attaching metal studs to a workpiece through the use of an electric arc. This process does not require any predrilling or punching of holes and does not mar the opposing side of the material.
