Overview
A fluo-drilling specialist for thirty years, the Unimex Formdrill company was established in France in 1991.
One of the major problems in the manufacturing process lies in the assembly of thin sheets, tubes or in thin-walled sections with a simple, efficient and cost-effective technique. Different solutions can be used such as welded nuts, inserts used to increase the number of nets.
These techniques have many disadvantages: loss of material, multiplication of production steps, additions of external elements, high costs, quality and resistance ... The Formdrill flow forming system makes it possible to form a sleeve using only the material of the part . The resulting sleeve increases the height available for tapping.
Thus, rather than piercing by removing material, we use it to form a one-piece socket and get a stronger set.
The advantages of the Formdrill flow-through system are:
- Economic
- Resistant bushing
- No special machine is required
- Very low investment
- High quality
- No reported items
- Decrease of production steps
- Clean workspace (no chips)
