MultiPierce Bulk-Feed Design Info
Operation
Bulk Pierce Nuts are fed into a Multipierce or Multimatic Head
through plastic nut guide from a gravity or power feed device.
Constant pressure from the feeder, transmitted through the nuts,
keeps a nut under the plunger when in the "open" or "ready"
position. The press, when lowered, forces the plunger to drive
the nut into the part, supported by a die button. The die button
forms the part material into and around the Pierce Nut undercuts
and/or clinches the nut corners, securing the nut in position.
Die Design Information
Multipierce and Multimatic Bulk Feed Heads are designed into a
die in the same manner as Multipierce and Multimatic Reel-Feed
Heads; same access requirements exist. Refer to Multipierce
and Multimatic sections for Head mounting dimensions.
