Individual Solutions for our Customers........................................................................................................................................................
TOX® PRESSOTECHNIK designs process flows more
economically – with special systems, intelligent assembly
systems and fully automatic feeds with integrated
additional functions. We possess long-standing experience and comprehensive know-how in the development and design of these systems.
We look to create highly efficient systems to match ourcustomer’s designated work flow. We are committed
to finding the best solution for optimizing the
manufacturing processes according to our customer's
requirements.
For this reason, our machines are the product of close
cooperation between our customers and our project
managers. Our service team will also be on handquickly and reliably at all times following delivery.

Identify demand
An extensive consultation forms the basis of eachconcept for us – for special machines as well as
production systems. We use much experience anda high level of expertise to identify the framework
conditions, determine the required components,and sketch out a first system layout. In our lab wecan perform sampling runs with original materials,
components and elements in parallel.

Development process
The specific system concept is forwarded to ourdesign department, which creates the machinelayout and generates detailed drawings for
production. The components are manufactured
or procured according to plan and the system isassembled. Then, the control components are
installed and configured.

Commissioning
Once completed, the machine is „test-driven“.
When all customer requirements are met,machine validation occurs – customers areencouraged to take part. Following delivery,
set-up and connection of the system, on site
commissioning is supported by our qualified
personnel.

After-sales service
The operating personnel receive extensive
training either on our premises or on site using
the delivered system. Often, we also support
initial production and provide advice andassistance. When everything is running smoothly,
all that is required are minimal, routin maintenancetasks.

TOX® Clinching Technology........................................................................................................................................................

TOX® Clinching describes a simple, robust joining
process which works without additional elements orheat – like riveting without a rivet. The positive-locking
clinching point is produced when a punch presses the
sheets into a specially contoured die. The economical
and reliable cold forming process is used throughout
the sheet metal processing industry.

Advantages
 Up to 60 percent more cost effective than spot
welding Allows point sizes from 2 to 26 mm
 High dynamic strength Resistant against corrosion

Semi-hollow punch rivet (SPR)
If different materials need to be joined, the semi-hollow
punch rivets are ideal joining elements. The first layer
is punched, and the rivet creates an undercut in thesecond layer. Due to their diverse application capability,
these rivets are mainly used in automotive lightweight
construction.

Solid punch rivet (FPR)
Riveting with solid punch rivets – punching andjoining in one step. For a positive-locking connection,
the rivet cuts through both sheet layers, then deforms
the dieside material for a fatigue resistant joint. This
technique is recommended for high-strength
connections, brittle material combinations and large
variations in thickness.

Fastener Insertion Technology........................................................................................................................................................

Process competence
Functional elements like nuts, bolts, rivets or screws
can be pressed into almost any material. TOX®
PRESSOTECHNIK, with its technological solutions, has
specialized in the processing of joining and functional
elements. Our experts have comprehensive processcompetence and offer advice and support, from projectplanning, production of prototypes and validation up
to design, manufacturing and assembly as well as
commissioning of systems for the insertion of functional
elements. This results in quick processes that are easy
to reproduce, with energy-saving work processes
that impress with high positional accuracy and do not
conduct any heat into the component. The product iscomplemented by training programs and services.

Almost all functional elements are based on four
fundamental processing technologies. Clinch elements
are shaped such that the component is formed into
the element during the pressing process and theelement is thus firmly fixed. Self-punching elements arecharacterized by the component also being pressed
into undercuts of the element, after the element
punches the required pre-punched hole itself. Pressin elements and rivet elements are inserted in prepunched and preformed holes where applicable. The
rivet is characterized by the element being formed in
the process, while the press-in element deforms thecomponent for a strong connection.

Advantages
 Fast processes that are easy to reproduce
 Energy saving
 High positional accuracy
 No additional materials required No component distortion caused by heat exposure

........................................................................................................................................................

System competence
Based on decades of experience, TOX® PRESSOTECHNIK has comprehensive system competencewith regard to automatic systems for the processingof functional elements. All process steps – provision,
separation, feeding, placing and pressing in –smoothly follow one another and are monitored andanalyzed precisely. This achieves consistent quality andrepeatable accuracy. The modular TOX® System enables
individual systems that are suitable for numerous
functional elements. Our solution is built around thespecification of the fastener by our customers.

System design
The system design depends on the functional
elements as well as the particular application. Systems
can be designed as tongs − stationary or mobile − oras a press, depending on requirements. They can beconceptualized as fully automatic, semi-automatic or as
pure manual workstations.

Certified quality of all applications by means of test reports
TOX® PRESSOTECHNIK determines the ideal process
for the respective application in advance in their own
test lab. Preliminary tests are performed and analyzed
based on samples. The results deliver importantparameters, like the required press force andtool geometry, which contribute to the system
configuration and processing technology. Final test
reports guarantee the quality of the connection.
