Clinching, a cost effective solution

The clinching process is a method of assembling sheet metal without welding or fasteners. With this joining technique, metal parts are deformed locally without the use of any consumables.

Multiple materials, with different individual thicknesses can be assembled at the same time based on this cost effective, fast and clean process: steel and stainless steel, aluminium and/or non-ferrous materials. Coated and painted sheet metals can also be joined together without altering the surface finish.

Our RIVCLINCH® clinching machines are very simple to use and can be easily included in the production processes. Only 6 bar/87psi is required to use our portable, standalone or modular clinching equipment.

Compared to traditional joining methods such as spot welding, riveting, screwing or gluing, clinching presents different characteristics including low production costs, little preparatory work, safety and environmentally friendly, reproducibility and durability.
