Cold forming is a complex technology. Ultimate-ly wire is brought into the desired form using large forces. The task is to achieve high deformation ratios using headers. HONSEL has constantly refined this production principle over the more than 90 years of the company history and can today offer high-preci-sion customised products that meet all the demands of the latest quality standards.
Today HONSEL is a sought-after supplier for so-phisticated solutions and products that can be pro-duced inexpensively in large series. The portfolio ranges from the simple cold formed part through individually finished special parts right up to the pro-cess-controlled system for automated riveting.
In-house processes such as partial annealing and hardening or injection moulding of plastic compo-nents are commonplace here.
5
The other sites of the HONSEL Group are also being continuously expanded. For example, the pro-duction capacity at the Chinese plant in Wuxi has been almost trebled in recent years. In the mean-time the HONSEL Group has some 300 employees worldwide whose primary interest lies in keeping the quality demands on our products at the highest level – to the benefit of the customer.
100 % monitoring is the order of the day.
HONSEL is investing intensively in the Frönden-berg site. The production capacities are being continuously expanded, and the company regularly invests in further machines. In the meantime HONSEL has 25 five and six- stage headers. The production area was increased in 2014 to 10,000 m2. Further increases in capacity are already planned.

Multi-stage headers are powerful machines that need to be controlled. The HONSEL staff play an important role here: they are able to regulate the forces that are applied in such headers during forming of the wire with fingertip con-trol. Looking to the future, HONSEL trains its own apprentices, thus constantly ensuring that the “old hands” can pass on the secrets of cold forming to the younger colleagues.
It takes just a few weeks from the receipt of a concrete enquiry through the production of a prototype before HONSEL can deliver a series product to the customer. The extremely short lead times for this sector can only be achieved by HONSEL having the individual pro-duction steps available in-house.
The in-house toolmaking shops works closely together with the internal design engineering department.
Short communication routes form the basis for short reaction times, both during planning and execution.
HONSEL technicians develop not only the actual production equipment, but also tailored solutions for feeding and automation, if necessary. From the semi-automatic setting operation through to the process-controlled all-inclusive auto-mation solution: HONSEL is a master in the craft of cold forming at all levels.

The HONSEL „HOCHFEST“ technology allows a significant increase in the load-bearing strength of the thread.
This ensures that in the event of mechanical over-loading, a bolt of strength class 12.9 (“HOCHFEST” steel) or 8.8 (“HOCHFEST” aluminium) fails far ear-lier than the HONSEL blind rivet nut.
This ensures greater safety in all applications where higher mechanical demands are necessary.

General installation instructions• Set the blind rivet nuts up to complete formation of the blind head• It must be easy to unscrew the mandrel after setting• Installation at right-angles to the part surface• Countersink blind rivet nuts with standard countersunk head with a slight protrusion• When using blind rivet nuts with small countersunk head, countersinking of
the bore is generally not necessary• With blind rivet nuts without additional twist lock, the part surfaces must be dry,
clean and grease-free• The specified part bores must be observed; oversized bores result in problems
with the torque and load-bearing strength
The axial tensile force is determined using the test device to DIN EN ISO 14589.By contrast with the blind rivet test, the nut is riveted into a steel washer. This is placed onto the insert bushing, then the two parts of the device are bolted together.
Bei der Prüfung gelten folgende Bedingungen:• Test device to DIN EN ISO 14589• Deformation rate approx. 10 mm/min.• Strength class of the bolt min. 8.8• Tensile direction against the blind head of the nut
The value shown is the minimum value measured under the given conditions at which failure of the blind rivet nut can occur. Failure is regarded as tearing out of the thread or breaking off of the blind end at the blind rivet nut. The values shown should be regarded as indicative values for the design of the joint.
In practice, different operating conditions generally prevail that can lead to a change in the failure mode and the forces. A load-bearing test is recommended for each concrete application.

Technical data
Sleeve + stud = blind rivet stud A blind rivet stud consists in principle of a sleeve (blind rivet nut without internal thread) and a stud that are joined to one another. HONSEL has been producing sleeves and blind rivet nuts for de-cades. With the increasing focus on the automotive sector, it quickly became clear that HONSEL can also use its existing know-how also for the manufacture of blind rivet studs.
Here too, just as with the blind rivet nuts, the diversity of possible variants and individual customer demands are the decisive criteria. Irrespective of which sleeve needs to be connected with which stud to make a blind rivet stud, HONSEL manufactures both components in-house and can thus deliver all possible variants quickly and flexibly.
Scratch protection possible.In the automotive industry, and particularly during final assembly, the surfaces of the components are very susceptible to scratches and other damage. If a blind rivet stud is not positioned and inserted exactly – as can easily happen during manual assembly – the surface of the component may be scratched. HONSEL has recognised this problem and developed a scratch preventative that can be ap-plied to the blind rivet stud. Easy riveting is thus still assured, but the component is protected from scratching.
Blind rivet studs are essentially used with the iden-tical setting principle as for the blind rivet nuts. The same tools can therefore be used. The mandrels of the setting tools must be replaced with threaded sleeves having the matching inside thread.
The sleeve inserted into the prepared bore is defor-med by the tool stroke and thus ensures a tight fit in the part. In order to increase the torsional resistance of the joint, knurled versions or sleeves with hexago-nal shaft are available.

ALFO® – The ClassicThe designation ALFO® stands for a range of products from the open HONSEL standard blind rivet that are available as flat head, countersunk head or large head rivets. It covers the versions and special types described in DIN EN ISO 15977 to 15984 as well as 16582 and 16584.
OPTO® – The All-rounderThanks to its design, the OPTO® multi-range blind rivet with specially embossed rivet shaft has a number of outstanding functional properties such as a large clamping range, excellent bore filling properties and positive locking of the mandrel inside the head.
CERTO® – The Leak-tightThanks to their cup-shaped rivet sleeves, CERTO® sealing blind rivets are the specialists when it comes to liquid-tight riveting. Thanks to this special design, the breakstem is also captive.The rivet forms a smooth, burr-free blind head and is suitable for automatic riveting.
FERO®-BULB – The StrongHONSEL FERO®-BULB blind rivets have been among the high-strength blind rivet types used in large quantities particularly in motor vehicle construction for many years. They guarantee very high shear breaking forces, a large blind head, are dust and splash water-proof and allow high tightening forces on parts.
FERO®-BOLT – The SecureFERO®-BOLT plane shaft breakage blind rivets are the high-quality connecting element for a vast array of industrial applications where particular attention is paid to the safety factor. Thanks to its design, the rivet is able to take on a load-bearing function.
Shear breaking force (test configuration)
The shear breaking force is the force that a rivet can withstand in radial direction before it fails due to fracture.
Depending on the riveting principle, the forces are determined with or without the breakstem overlapping the shear zone. The test device presented in DIN EN ISO 14589 is used for the static measurement (exception: FERO®-BOLT).

Technical explanations
The blind rivet is inserted with the mandrel into the setting tool and positioned in the rivet hole.
When the setting tool stroke is triggered, the mandrel is gripped by the clamping jaws and pulled.The mandrel head thereby forms the shaft end of the rivet sleeve.The process is completed when the mandrel head reaches the height of the part surface.
This position is signalled by a significant increase in force with which the mandrel breaks off at its predetermined breaking point.
The sheared mandrel is removed and the breakstem remains in the blind rivet sleeve.
The setting process always takes place in the following steps:
A matching riveting tool is required for processing of the blind rivet. This can be actuated by muscle force (hand-held tools) or external force (e.g. pneumatic or hydraulic settings tools or cordless riveters).
The rivet sleeve is the element that forms the joint.
It is formed by the mandrel and remains inseparably in the part. The sleeve version is selected according to the following criteria:
• the mechanical loads to be expected• the corrosion requirements• the form of the parts• the temperature loads and in some
cases also the appearance

The coil concept
Threaded inserts create high-strength joints in low-strength metallic materials and have been pro-ven in practice for decades.
HONSEL coils threaded inserts are available in a range of variants and are characterised by high wear resistance, low thread friction in close tolerances, high surface quality and outstanding corrosion and heat resistance.

• Exhaust manifolds
• Repeat tightenings (oil sumps, etc.)
HONSEL coils are made from high-quality chrome-nickel steel (X5CrNi18-10). This material grade is the precondition for threads with high load-bearing strength, wear resistance and a low and constant thread friction torque. By contrast with conventional threads, a higher and constant preload force can be achieved with the same tightening torque even with repeat tigh-tenings. Furthermore, better use can be made of the yield strength of high-strength screws. Furthermore, the surface roughness is up to 85 % lower by comparison with conventionally cut threads.
With conventional screw fittings, the main load is exerted on the first three th-reads. HONSEL coils solve this problem. The main load is distributed uniform-ly over the whole length of the bolt and thus leads to significantly more stable screw joints – particularly with screws subject to dynamic loads.

Sleeves or studs that are perfectly suited to plastic sheathing due to their very low tolerances are commonplace in the HONSEL production. The ability to combine metal forming and plastic sheathing in-house is a typical HONSEL feature. In this case the sheathed knurling system has been developed such that particularly high tightening forces can be achieved.
HONSEL combines many years of experience in cold forming with a complex manufacturing depth. Special machining operations, knurlings and special types of finishing allow the right solutions to be found for many customised development projects.
Even asymmetric geometries with the highest forming rates are chal-lenges that HONSEL successfully masters at all times to the benefit of the customer.
Furthermore, in-house developed feeder systems offer economically attractive finishing possibilities for the further processing.
33
Finite Elements Simulation
All HONSEL products are parts developed individually for the customer that are produced in large quantities during the course of cold forming. But time and again, projects come along where HONSEL can contribute the whole band-width of possible in-house production methods. Even at the development sta-ge, HONSEL engineers can assess the general feasibility of products thanks to their decades of experience in cold forming.
The subsequent design work in which all relevant methods such as finite elements simulations are used generally leads to the production of prototy-pes. Thanks to the in-house development department and toolmaking shop, HONSEL can supply pre-series products here in a minimum of time, on the basis of which the further planning processes can be coordinated with the customer.
During the subsequent series production, too, it is a HONSEL benefit that relevant processing steps such as partial annealing and hardening, cutting and plastic sheathing or individual parts can be carried out in-house.
This results in the short reaction times for which HONSEL is renowned.

As a specialist for cold forming, HONSEL manufactures customised solid parts with close tolerances in a wide range of geometries. The specialised manufacturing depth and the 100 % quality control of the produced parts are the hallmarks of the company.
HONSEL bolts, installed in millions of clutch systems worldwide, are a first-class example of this.
37
Barrel finishingDuring the hardening process, scale forms on the outside of the stud because the glowing hot metal reacts with the oxygen in the air. These thin residues from the oxidation process can be barrel finished so that the stud has a glossy surface again.
At the same time, barrel finishing reduces the friction coefficient (COF) of the studs – a precondition for longer service lives of the finished products.
As with all other process steps, HONSEL attaches great impor-tance here again to being able to carry out barrel finishing in-house.
Tolerance optimisedThe automotive industry accepts only minimal tolerances. Sup-pliers have to constantly ensure that every product supplied al-ways meets these stringent specifications. Less than 0.07 mm – that is the concentricity tolerance that HONSEL can guarantee the automotive customer.
And HONSEL is less tolerant also when it comes to the length: A coil may deviate in length by only +/- 0.05 mm. HONSEL customers appreciate this precision.
Hardened to the pointThe cold forming process alone changes the starting material in such a way that it be-comes harder on its own. But this is generally not enough. The stud is exerted to huge forces when it is installed in the clutch of a motor vehicle. For this reason they have to be hardened so that they become more resistant. But they don’t have to be hardened all over, because if a stud is too hard, it will break during assembly. Partial hardening is the solution. Predefined partial areas are hardened to a precisely defined material depth to a defined degree of hardness.HONSEL has mastered the art of “hardening to the point” so well because this process takes place in-house.
Eddy current testingThe eddy current test is a non-destructive testing method for detection of cracks and pores near the surface and of defects in electrically or magnetically conductive surfaces. During the test, the surface of the test specimen is scanned contact-free using a probe. The prove generates a magnetic field which induces eddy currents in the surface of the object to be tested. These eddy currents in turn generate electromagnetic fields which are detected by the receiver part of the probe.

Captive screws have become an integral part of modern fastening technology. System suppliers are able to deliver pre-assembled units just in time to the production lines of the OEMs. This creates huge savings potential in terms of logistics, assembly and quality costs. With its new products from the HPF-line HONSEL has created a portfolio that meets the high standards of automotive production. Key element to this development is the consolidation of all production steps inhouse as well as over 90 years of experience in working with automotive customer.

Knurling and groove of the fastener are matched to one another in such a way that the deformation is limited to the immediate vicinity of the fastening element. A completely flush finish is obtai-ned on the one side, and a high thread stability is achieved by special heat treatment over a compact area.
Insertion is possible with the greatest precision. The surfaces on both sides of the part are not damaged. Install only using a press with continuous pres-sure – never by impact loading!
Self-clinching fasteners with inside and outside thread are particularly suitable for use in thin sheet metal above 0.5 mm. The thickness of parts as a whole can thus be reduced, with the benefits of lower weight and material saving. After setting, self-clinching fasteners are permanently joined to the base material. A screw can therefore later be removed again without the risk of the connecting element being displaced from its position.
HONSEL self-clinching fasteners help to make production processes more efficient and more reliable.
Rivet nuts are riveted into the part. The shaft is thereby inserted through a prepunched hole in the part and riveted over on the opposite side. The base material is not deformed. These threaded connecting elements are characterised by a toothed shaft that cuts into the sheet metal surface.
Benefits: • High torsional resistance and torque loading capacity
HONSEL self-clinching studs are fasteners that have a knurling under the head which ensures that the material is pressed into the rivet ring on insertion into the sheet metal and thus secures the fastening element. Made from hardened steel, they are suitable for use in sheet metal with hardnesses up to HRB 80
Benefits:• High resistance to torque loads• No damage to coated surfaces – ideally suited to steel sheets• Always perpendicular to the sheet• Head flush with sheet after installation
HONSEL self-clinching studs stand-offs can be used as spacers. The hexagonal head is simply pressed into the sheet metal so that the material is upset in the groove.
It is pressed in on the head side completely flush. A wide variety of open or closed versions is availa-ble. For applications with higher loads, versions with larger heads and higher pulling forces can be produced.

• Connecting facilities for measurement transdu-cers with different output signals from DMS to incremental and piezo-measurement transducers without additional amplifiers.
• The resolution of the distance measurement has been improved from 0.1 mm to 0.01 mm. The re-solution therefore complies with the VDA require-ment for 10 times resolution when recording with regard to the evaluation.
• The facility for monitoring maximum force and two additional control windows has been sup-plemented by two freely parametrisable control windows, even to the extent of envelope curve monitoring. It is possible to evaluate up to 10 evaluation elements in one measuring program.
• Up to 108 measuring programs can be stored in the monitoring. Up to 20 master programs are available for the monitoring.
• Parametrisation and programming take place via the firmware installed in the controller – no additi-onal program is required.
• Operation and remote maintenance are possible using VPN tunnels via a VNC viewer, meaning that the operator can see what is being carried out via the remote maintenance. With the remo-te maintenance you can see which actions are being carried out by the operator. A large monitor can be attached via the VNC viewer.
DMSD has stood for process monitoring in fastening technology for more than 25 years. HONSEL re-ceived its first patent for process monitoring in blind rivet processing back in 1990. DMSD has been con-tinuously improved and optimised since this time. All HONSEL standard tool components such as RivSys BZ & VNG, automated solutions, work stations and hand tools for rivet nuts, blind rivets and coils can be connected to the DMSD 2G.
The new second generation DMSD 2 process monitoring is a consistent further development, since industrial requirements have been increasing constantly for the last few years.
New measurement transducers which require a fas-ter sampling rate, parallel and faster data processing and new networking options are the characteristics of the newly designed DMSD 2G.
