Plastics riveting kit suits low volumes
An
Alcoa Fastening Systems product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team
May 14, 2007
A plastics riveting kit has a hand tool and rivets precisely moulded in nylon to fasten plastics to plastics, metal or fibreglass for low volume production usage.
Alcoa Fastening Systems (AFS) who engineer high-quality, high-performance fastening systems has launched the Marson PR-75K plastics riveting kit in the UK, aimed predominantly at the automotive aftermarket.
The CE approved PR-75K includes a PR-75 hand tool and 80 Klik-Lok rivets in four different sizes.
Precision moulded from nylon and used to fasten plastics to plastics, metal or fibreglass, the three legs on the blind side of the rivet compress during installation to securely lock the components in place and prevent pull-out.
The full range of Klik-Lok rivets varying in diameter from 3.9mm to 6.6mm, are available through AFS distributors.
Highlighting the convenience and versatility of the PR-75K Dean Bradley, AFS sales manager for UK, Ireland and South Africa, said: "Although standard air tooling may be used carry out installation in high production runs, this portable kit is perfect for low volume use.
In addition, the PR-75 hand tool has one of the smallest access area envelopes of its kind, especially useful for difficult-to-reach installations.
Currently used to secure interior trim and dashboards, Klik-Lok rivets already have a proven track record in the US automotive industry and hold General Motors and Ford part numbers.
Their light weight also offers a variety of alternative applications including portable buildings, caravans and the general MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) market.".
