Creating Permanent Threads, Standoffs, and High-Strength Fasteners on Sheet Metal Components

Permanent, Load-Bearing Fasteners Without Structural Distortion

In the final stages of sheet metal fabrication, creating high-strength threads and mounting points for electronics, enclosures, or mating hardware is critical. LaserSpike utilizes specialized insertion presses and advanced stud welding systems to install a comprehensive range of permanent male and female fasteners—including self-clinching nuts (PEMs), threaded studs, standoffs, and bushings—with absolute dimensional accuracy.

 

By engineering precise hole tolerances during the initial laser cutting phase, our specialized hydraulic insertion machinery applies parallel compressive force to seat self-clinching hardware permanently into the metal. This ensures maximum torque-out and push-out resistance while maintaining complete sheet flatness, strictly conforming to the rigorous standards of light, medium, and heavy industries.

ř Self-Clinching Hardware Insertion

Ideal for thin gauge sheets requiring high-strength threads. Under controlled hydraulic pressure, the host sheet material cold-flows into the fastener's undercut, creating a permanent mechanical lock. These self-clinching fasteners become an integral part of the structure, streamlining final product assembly by eliminating loose nuts and washers.

 

CD Stud Welding

For applications demanding heavy-duty, vibration-resistant, and structural fastening superior to standard rivets, we utilize Capacitive Discharge (CD) Stud Welding. This advanced process uses a specialized welding gun to bond threaded studs to the metal surface in milliseconds without requiring pre-drilled holes. Delivering zero heat distortion, backside marking, or discoloration, it is the perfect solution for visible architectural components and precision electronic enclosures.
