POP PT Pull-Thru Rivets

Pull-Thru (PT) Rivets --- see LINK for Data Sheet ---
Ideal where clearance is limited
and a flush set is required on
both sides of the application.
The POP® Pull-Thru (PT) rivet is a steel countersunk blind fastener designed
to set surface flush on both sides of an application (blind side rivet protrusion
#0.4mm/.015").

During setting, the mandrel head never breaks away from the mandrel. It remains
integral with the mandrel, while extruding completely through the rivet body and
exiting into the setting tool. This unique process provides a consistent tight radial
set within the working grip range of the rivet, improves rivet tool access and
eliminates the possibility of loose mandrel heads in the application.
This innovative fastener is widely used in the electronics industry. It also lends
itself to assembly of any product where clearance is limited and protrusion of the
rivet body from application surfaces must be either minimized or eliminated.
The mandrels of the POP® Pull-Thru rivets have been color coded for easy
differentiation on the production floor.

The POP® Pull-Thru rivets are manufactured to ISO, QS and TS requirements and are
both RoHS and DFARS compliant.

Aero-Space & Henrob

Aero-Space Presents the
HENROB SELF PIERCING RIVET SYSTEM

The Henrob Self Pierce Rivet (HSPR) uses a cold joining process to bind two or more sheets of material.

Perhaps you looked at a rivet solution of this nature years ago, or you never have because you thought the cost of this technology would be out of reach for your application.

As you probably have heard before, GOOD THINGS come to those who wait. WELL GUESS WHAT,

The WAIT is OVER !

If you think you might have an application, but have been waiting for a cost competitive solution both in the rivet and the tooling – Please give me a call -

We can provide you a sample of your design assembled with the HSPR for your evaluation and a full cost analysis.

Your Fastener Update: KATO Fastening Systems, Inc.

WHATS NEW AT KATO

Kato is introducing the all NEW KATO Electric PREwinder tool. This tool works with BOTH Tanged & Tangless inserts ! The best features found in air and electric installation tools combined into one tool offering. Nominal Thread sizes from 2-56 thorugh 1/4-28 and Metric from M2.5x45 - M6x1.


To see the Data sheet and Pics please click on the following link: http://www.katonet.com/CT5408_Flyer_Full.pdf



Kato is known for Coil Threaded Inserts. Specifically, helically coiled wire inserts. These are offered in two installation formats: Tanged (where the drive point is removed after insertion & the part must be inserted in correct orientation ) and TANGLESS - where the drive point is built into the threaded coil and the part is uni directional for ease of installation) Both formats are fully Mil approved. The primary use for the inserts is to install threads into aluminum blocks that can be used over and over. If you would like to see a demonstration on Helically installed threads placed into an aluminum block and a then a steel bolt installed and the head broken off with the body of the fastener being removed by finger tips and the hole/threads maintaining full functionality with no damage, please contact me.

This is not all Kato is involved in. The KATO global manufacturing networks provides customer access to a wide range of products and capabilities; high performance hinges, ( similar to those you would find in a laptop, medical or industrial device where you need a door, lid, or other component to maintain a specific orientation upon opening.) insert molding, micro shafts, recording media, precision spring engineering, specialty engineered components, round out the full Kato offering. If you are interested in the full KATO Tanged and Tangless product offering and a FANTASTIC source for FAQ and Solutions for coiled thread installation and use,this is the best link I have found !
