JOINING PARTS WITH SNAPLOCK™ ELIMINATES FASTENERS OR WELDING
THE PROBLEM:
Above: SnapLock used on prepainted material, with assembly completed in a press brake
Many fabricating jobs require the joining of parts. Typically, fabricators use fasteners (screws, rivets) or welds to do so. While effective, they add secondary operations and material costs to the job. Joining parts doesn't necessarily require fasteners or welds. Applications are available that can help lower manufacturing costs and speed time to delivery.
THE MATE SOLUTION:
Mate Precision Tooling developed SnapLock™ for just such a purpose. SnapLock allows fabricators to join parts, even if they are of dissimilar type and/or thickness. SnapLock eliminates expensive secondary operations such as spot welding, riveting or fastening with threaded hardware. With SnapLock, fabricated assemblies can be created efficiently and effectively with CNC precision.
