Implementing our Products and Systems
Real Problems. Real Solutions.
Clinch fastening is the mechanical joining of a fastener to a material using force. At RIFAST Systems, we provide a multitude of solutions with high strength fasteners, the ability to work in multiple materials, and the opportunity to install multiple fasteners simultaneously with in-die installations.
Welding, an alternative to clinching, is an electrical process that requires more manufacturing and processing time and cannot be used with mixed metals without causing corrosion. With our clinching process, you will see clean installs, no weld fumes or splatter, no burned off plating or thermal stresses, and no cracks on parts.
