Advantages for a solid connection: TOX-Clinching

  • TOX Round Joint: 30 to 60% cost savings as compared to spot welding.
  • The TOX Joint achieves up to 70% of the static strength of a spot weld.
  • The dynamic strength of TOX Clinching Joint is higher than in spot welding.
  • The process can be automatically monitored and documented.
  • Simple, non-destructive quality control is possible - for each Joint!
  • The materials are strain hardened at the connecting joint and are therefore stronger compared to spot welding, which has significant stresses around the weld nugget, the TOX Clinching Joint does not show any metallurgical residual effects.
  • TOX ClinchRivet: Comparable strength to selfpiercing rivets but without cutting the sheet metal layers.
  • Optimal corrosion resistance with galvanized and prepainted materials, since the protective layer flows with the material.
  • Perfect joints are produced even with narrow flanges and small mounting spaces.
  • Outstanding conductivity for electric components.
  • Cold forming process is perfect for hybrid connections (gluing & clinching).
  • The TOX Round Joint can carry shear and pull stress loads, independent of the load orientation.
