Portable Clinch tools

We offer a very wide range of clinching hand tools and portable work heads, for sheet metal joining (or fastening) by clinching and stitch-folding. These are production equipment intended to medium series production of sheet metal products. They are robust and fast, capable to sustain high production rates. The various models are ranging from the very light machines of 1.7 kg up to large work heads of more than 100 kg and 500mm of C' frame depth suspended to balancers.


The portable clinching tools are standard, delivered complete, ready to operate and are extremely simple to install, just to be suspended to a balancer and connected a 6 bar (85 PSI) air main.

All models, depending on their tool force, are using the corresponding standard tool kits (See page Tooling for presses)
