WHAT WE HAVE DONE WITH HARDWARE INSERTION

Do your company’s products need hardware insertion manufacturing, design, or implementation for your metal products? Call (773) 927-5700 for metal design and manufacturing services from Midland Metal Products.

Creating quality metal products requires various considerations and structural components. Not only do companies selling products that use metal components need to consider design and manufacturing, but they also need to ensure that their products remain safe and functional. However, most companies utilizing metal components in their products don’t have a core competency in designing, manufacturing, and implementing these pieces.

Sheet metal products are an example of metalwork that requires extra fortification. Hardware insertion provides additional structural support and durability for your sheet metal products. Pieces like clinch nuts, threaded studs, and high-strength fasteners strengthen load-bearing sheet metal products and protect against damage.

Finding a company with a state-of-the-art hardware insertion press is crucial to ensuring the structural integrity of your metal products. Midland Metal Products has capabilities to service metal products from various industries and provide adequate hardware insertion services. Our hardware insertion technicians expertly integrate necessary hardware into your products from design to final touches.

Services Under Hardware Insertion

Hardware insertion is not as simple as nailing or screwing two parts together. Instead, this process requires a hardware insertion press that can provide the compression necessary to attach hardware to flat metal surfaces.

While many hardware pieces have large bases that help anchor them to the engineered fasteners, sheet metal requires compression forces to fuse with its hardware. Experts need to operate the equipment used for hardware insertion. However, this machinery is the first step in creating structurally sound and fully finished metal products.

Additional services provided by Midland Metal Products can help finish your sheet metal designs. After hardware insertion, take advantage of laser cutting, powder coating, tube fabrication, welding, and more to complete your metal products. Our expert technicians provide comprehensive services to address any of your metalworking needs.

Our Equipment Used

Hardware insertion is a specialized task that requires specific equipment for successful execution. At Midland Metal Products, our professionals use updated, state-of-the-art machinery and technology to perform hardware insertions and finishes. This equipment and hardware insertion strengthens sheet metal products.

Our PEM insertion machines are the primary tool we utilize for hardware insertion. However, additional services like laser cutting use advanced technology such as CO2, fiber, and crystal laser cutters. Midland Metal Products offers advanced capabilities and precise results with our incomparable technological capacity.

FAQ

PEM fasteners are a type of fastener that uses a threaded stud on one side and a tapped hole on the other. The stud is inserted into the hole and then turned, which causes the threads to engage and hold the two pieces together.

PEM fasteners are often used in applications with limited space or where traditional screws or bolts would be too bulky or would not fit properly. They are also commonly used in aerospace and automotive applications because of their strength and durability.

We can insert all types of hardware into sheet metal parts. We have various inserts available, including screws, bolts, and rivets. We also have a wide range of materials available to meet your needs, including steel, aluminum, brass, and more.

Our company has a three-step process for providing hardware insertion services. First, we will work with you to identify the specific hardware that needs to be inserted into your system. Second, we will develop a plan for inserting that hardware into your system to ensure that it is done in a way that does not disrupt your operations. And third, we will execute the plan and ensure that the hardware is integrated correctly into your system.

We see a few common errors in hardware insertion services. One of the most common is inserting the hardware into the wrong port. This can be prevented by verifying that you are inserting the hardware into the correct port before you begin the installation process.

Another common error is improperly connecting cables or not seating components correctly. This can be avoided by ensuring that all cables are connected properly and that all components are installed correctly before tightening screws or bolts.

Finally, incorrect or insufficient power can cause problems with hardware installation. Make sure to consult your device’s specifications to ensure that you are providing enough power for your device.
