Flangeform

Technical Advantages

● High strength attachment pointparticularly in thin and prefinishedsheet materials.

● Attachment may be made fromeither side because pull-out strength is comparable with push-through strength.

● Exceptional resistance to bendingmoment.

● Flangeform provides a square flushface on one side, without distortingthe component.

● No weld heat damage or fumes.

● Accurate and positive positioningassured.

● Visual inspection makes qualitycontrol simpler and hence moreeffective.

● Ideal for use in mild steel, aluminiumor prefinished material.

● Only one fastener type per sizerequired to cover the total range ofmaterial thicknesses.

● Ideally suited to multiple insertionand automated assembly inprogression tooling.

Accurate Positioning

Chosen in tight tolerance applicationssuch as automotive door closures,airbags, seating and as location pins.

Ideal For Thin Materials

Used directly into the component,eliminating welding onto separateplate, for example in car seat pans.

High Bending Moment

Highly successful as a leg levellingattachment in the appliance and office furniture industries. Also forautomotive tail-gate gas strutattachments.

High Strength

Provides the integrity needed indemanding situations such as airbags,car seating, seat tracks and seat beltattachments.

Mechanical Attachment

Eliminates weld damage and associated quality concerns.

Automatic Feeding Systems

Major cost saving opportunities arepossible by feeding directly intoprogression tooling and transfer dies.

Flangeform can be inserted in presses ranging from fly presses to transfer presses,

either manually placed or utilising fully automatic feeding systems. The simple

low cost mini-die tool guarantees consistent and accurate insertion.

The pre-pierced component and the Flangeformfastener are located over the mini-die.

As the punch moves downwards, the Flangeform fastener forms a flange in the

component. This process actually strengthens the attachment point, particularly

in thin material.

As the punch completes its blow, the collar on the Flangeform fastener is formed

around the flange so becoming an integral part of the component. The top of the

fastener is pressed flush into the component and the splines are bedded into the

component, guaranteeing exceptional torsion strength.

Flangeform

Flangeform Studs

Flangeform studs offer all the advantages of Flangeform nuts. However, usersparticularly favour the benefits of accurate positioning, assured perpendicularityand high bending moment strength.

Again, major cost savings can be achieved through automatic feeding into the dieor in stand alone second operations.

Flangeform studs are available in sizes M4 to M10 and unified equivalents ingrades 4.8, 8.8 and 9.8 and up to 75mm length.

Technical and Performance Data pages 6 & 7

SRS Studs

These studs are ideal when high pull out force is required. The studs have a largehead, and require a pre-pierced hole. The stud is placed through the hole and theshoulder is peened down forcing the component material into the head recess andfinally clinching the stud to the component. The result is exceptional pull throughstrength, assured perpendicularity and a high bending moment. Applicationsinclude airbag inflator attachment. SRS studs are designed around individualapplications and are available in sizes from M6 to M10.

Pulley Studs

Specially designed for the automotive window regulator industry, the Pulley Studencompasses cost savings along with technical advantages.

By attaching the pulley wheel at the same point of fixture to the module or door, a much more rigid and robust structure is created. This is particularly useful in thecase of convertible or soft-top vehicles.

The elimination of fixing brackets and the attachment fasteners, with their process costs, generates cost savings.

Closed End Nut

The closed end Flange Form nut was developed to meet the stringent water ingress specification

associated with certain automotive industry requirements, examples being roof rack and

floor pan attachments.

External splines provide excellent torque resistance.

SRS Stud is ideal when high pull-out force is required.

Flangeform

Ball Studs (Gas Strut Attachment)

The ball stud was the natural follow-on from the successful use of Flangeform nuts as the attachment or anchor for gas strut studs in tail gates and bonnetapplications.

Considerable cost savings are achieved by combining the Flangeform head with theball stud into a one-piece component.

The ball stud has a high bending moment and pull-out strength, surpassingautomotive requirements for gas strut attachments.

Both piece-price and process cost can be dramatically reduced by the ball stud,which can be automatically fed directly into the die during the stamping operation.

Flangeform Feed Systems

Major in-place cost reduction opportunities - of up to 50% - are available throughautomated feeding of Flangeform nuts and studs. A variety of options is availableutilising existing press equipment, from manually loaded components to fullintegration into tooling and robotic assembly.

Flangeform feed systems are designed to work within both transfer presses andprogression dies. The heads can be mounted either from the top or alternatively beplaced on the bottom and fed upside down.

High reliability is the key requirement of feeding equipment. Flangeform systemshave a proven track record, working within automotive stamping facilities.

System can be dedicated or fully versatile and interchangeable, allowing equipmentto be moved from the manufacture of one component to another.

Alternatively, automatic feeding can be added to secondary-operation presses inwhich components are manually loaded and unloaded.

Flangeform feed systems are compatible with robotic manufacturing installations.

Flangeform

Flangeform Nut Feed

Nuts are delivered from a vibratory bowl distributor through quick releaseconnecting tubes to the feed head. The electronically controlled gate of thedistributor's outlet ensures continuity of supply. Feed heads are protected withsensors to ensure that there is always a fastener present before the press will cycle.

Flangeform Stud Feed

Studs enter a chamber prior to being placed within the rotating insertion bush.Again, electronic sensors ensure that there is a stud present.

As the press descends, the insertion bush rotates 90 degrees, positioning the studfor emplacement.

Throughout the process the stud is electronically monitored by a series of sensorsso ensuring that there will always be a fastener present.

As the press ascends, the insertion bush rotates back and another stud is loadedready for the next stroke.

Feed Systems within Robotic Cells

A popular method of automatic emplacement is within a robotic cell. The robotpresents the component under a stand-alone press which incorporates a feed headand manoeuvres it for the number of fasteners to be emplaced. Cells can includeboth a mixture of different size fasteners and a mixture of nuts and studs.

Why Use AVK? Industry is Changing

16

AVK

Here are a few reasons why industry is changing and how AVK is

"Improving the way we assemble the world".

The Reason

● Lightweight, thin gauge materials, pre-painted and materials to reduce weightare increasingly in use. Traditional fastener methods are often inappropriate

● Plastics are being used everywhere for their colour, corrosion resistance, weightand fabrication advantages. Bolting, screwing and insert moulding in plastics aredifficult and expensive

● Pre-Painted Sheet Metal can eliminate costly paint lines - but how do you fastento it? Typical weld nuts and studs cannot be applied to this material

● Hydroformed tubing is an emerging technology that uses internal water pressureto form steel tubes into complex high strength shapes. Tapping or threadforming screws do not work well in this ductile grade of steel

● Consumer assembly continues to be a way to shift labour and assembly costs tothe consumer. Designers must consider the consumer's ability to assemblewithout damaging the product by stripping threads.

The AVK Solution

● AVK's threaded inserts and studs can be installed in material as thin as 0.7mmand will provide strong, load bearing threads

● AVK's A-L SeriesTM products are designed for use in plastics and offer numerousbenefits. They can be installed post moulding to maximise moulding machinetime

● AVK's blind installed products are ideal for pre-painted materials. Neither the AVK product nor its installation tool will mark or damage the finish of pre-painted sheet metal

● AVK's threaded inserts and studs solve this problem. They do not damage thegalvanised finish. No re-work is required with AVK. No hazardous fumes either!

● AVK installs blind into hydroformed tubular shapes

● AVK's threads are difficult to strip. Use of AVK allows the designer freedom and reliability. Save on the transport of space by designing yourproduct for assembly by the consumer.

AVK

Spinwall Technology

How Hole Fill Works For You

As the AVK insert is installed, the knurled body expands 360° to create hole fill.This unique feature provides exceptional torque strength and vibration resistance.The installation tool then continues to install the insert, forming a backside flange,even in multiple or variable thickness materials without adjustment.

Design Benefits

● EXCEPTIONAL TORQUE STRENGTH is achieved as the insert's knurled bodyexpands, creating hole fill

● QUALITY INSTALLATIONS even in variable thickness materials are assured byAVK's spin/spin ARO Brand pneumatic tools

● VIRTUALLY FLUSH INSTALLATIONS are achieved without special hole preparationdue to the AVK's minimal head profile

● SUPERIOR THREAD STRENGTH is provided due to our internal rolled threadmanufacturing process

● THREADS GAUGE before and after installation due to the increased crosssectional thickness of the thread area. Thread dilation is prevented

● INVENTORY REDUCTION is possible because of the wide grip range capacity

● SUPERIOR CORROSION RESISTANCE is provided by our standard zinc/yellowdichromate finish (96 hours salt spray to white corrosion). For exceptionalcorrosion protection we offer a tin/zinc alloy finish.

A-STM Series Stud Profile

The A-S Series Stud profile offers a unique design advantage in

that, once installed, a threaded stud is left protruding from the

workpiece. Component parts can be located on the stud until final

assembly is accomplished with a mating nut. The A-S Series is an

ideal alternative to clinch or weld studs. The A-S Series is designed

to be used with metric PC8 non thread locking type nuts.

The A-S Series Stud is installed using AVK's ARO brand pneumatic tools. Thesetools can be located at any position on your assembly line. The A-S Series Stud canbe installed either before or after coating.

Design Benefits

● PROTRUDING STUD allows component parts to be located on the stud until final assembly is accomplished with a mating nut

● EXCEPTIONAL TORQUE STRENGTH is achieved as the stud's knurled bodyexpands, filling the hole

● QUALITY INSTALLATIONS even in variable thickness materials are assured byAVK's spin / spin ARO brand pneumatic tools

● ELIMINATE PAINT MASKING procedure as required with weld or clinch studs. The A-S Series Stud can be installed after painting

● SUPERIOR CORROSION RESISTANCE is provided by our standard zinc/yellowdichromate finish (96 hours salt spray to white corrosion). Alternative finishes are available

● AVAILABLE in steel 1010/1008 shell - Steel 1038 stem.

Pneumatic Tools Profile

AVK

AVK uses the ARO brand pneumatic tool for its ergonomic design

and outstanding dependability. The rocker style forward and reverse

trigger is easy and comfortable to use. AVK’s Quick-Change Thread

Adaption Kit assembly allows for easy removal of the tool’s nose

assembly without the need for wrenches.

How The AVK Tool Works

● The operator quarter turns an AVK threaded insert onto the tool mandrel andplaces it into the hole in the parent material

● The top trigger is depressed and the tool mandrel spins into the insert

● The head of the threaded insert is gripped by the knurling at the nose-piece,preventing it from spinning as the threaded area of the insert "walks" up the mandrel

● As this occurs, the AVK Insert expands within the hole wall, providing hole filland then forms a secondary flange against the backside of the parent material

● The tool continues to torque the insert's threads, causing the knurling to biteinto the backside of the parent material

● The tool then stalls when it reaches its predetermined stall torque. This occurseven if the parent material varies in thickness. The tool needs no adjustment toinstall AVK's products in variable thickness materials

● The operator then presses the lower, reverse trigger and the mandrel spins out ofthe installed part

● The knurled nose assembly eliminates any torque "kick" during installation

● Preventative maintenance is quick and easy with AVK's patented quick-changethread adaption kit. No tools are required to access these parts.

System Zero

System Zero is a tamper resistant, external drive range of screws,

available in steel and stainless steel in sizes from M3 to M8 machine

and No.2 to No.14 self tapping.

The unique head-style requires a dedicated driver for installation and subsequent,authorised removal. In combination with the driver the head design gives hightorque transmission, which in turn generates high clamp loads.

These features make System Zero the number one choice where security is an issue.

System Zero Benefits

● Fit and forget

● Virtually 100% security without associated removal tool

● High torque acceptance without 'cam-out'

● Non-slip external drive.

System Zero Is Specified By Engineers and Designers For Its Unique Blend Of Features

● Effective tamper-resistant design

● Robust performance

● External drive

● High clamp load

● Exceptional drive capabilities

● Range of thread styles available.

Internal drive screws have a weakness of 'cam out' as increased torque is applied,resulting in slippage, potential damage to the components to be fastened andvariable clamp load.

System Zero's unique external drive greatly reduces the chance of slippage andresulting damage, while achieving a high clamp load.

Because it is robust, it is ideal for the high performance requirements associatedwith security.

When System Zero screws are recessed in a component, it is virtually impossible toremove them without an associated driver.

System Zero screws are available in a variety of thread styles.
