The full case study and information about clinching is explained in this article.

Clinch machines are used to connect thin sheet metal in an environmentally friendly way. The mechanical connection that forms in the plates acts as a good alternative to screws, self-tapping, dolls or rivets. Read more about how clinching works here.

Application of DOCO

The photo below gives a good picture of the clinch machine, used here at DOCO. The company uses clinching technology to mechanically connect metal profiles of track sets together. In this way, a rail set can be supplied pre-assembled, making the installation a lot easier. In this way, DOCO supplies pre-assembled track sets for garages for every residential situation. You can find some of these pre-assembled track sets on the website of DOCO.

Why clinching?

The main motives for using a clinch machine, in addition to efficiency, are benefits for personnel, environment and budget. Clinch machines have a low energy consumption. This energy-efficient use helps companies to implement a sustainable strategy. Another way why clinching machines have relatively low running costs is because of the low maintenance costs.

In addition to helping to reduce costs, the joints are also made without causing damage to the surfaces of plates, no smoke, sparks and very little noise are released in the process, and no consumables are required when joining of workpieces. Switching to clinching offers many possibilities for process and cost optimization.

Range of clinch machines

To enable clinching for almost any situation, BIBUS has a wide range of clinching machines available. The machines can be roughly divided into two categories: stationary, modular clinching machines and mobile clinching machines. The machine that DOCO is using is a mobile clinch machine, from the IP series, which is easy and efficient to use due to its flexibility.
