Manufacturing technology is adapting to the new challenges in automotive engineering!
Components must:
  • become lighter (weight saving) 
  • get bigger (giga casting) 
  • have new connection technologies – gluing, riveting or a combination of these (see picture) 
  • Footprint & sustainability
More and more new manufacturing methods or assembly processes are being combined.
Components that are mounted using structural adhesive in combination with Flow Drill screws – right down to simple riveted connections.

All standard and connecting elements can be assembled with the highly automated assembly systems from AR.

Examples of fasteners:

Blind Rivet Nut

Blind Rivet

Threaded bolt

Screws

Flow Drill Screws FLS

Examples of assembly systems:
  • General riveting machines
  • Clinch connections
  • Punch riveting systems
  • Assembly of threaded inserts (coil)
  • Gluing systems
  • Nut Bars
