The Fastener Insertion Center is a fully automated solution designed for the high-efficiency installation of self-clinching fasteners in sheet metal manufacturing. It is ideal for high-volume production of server cabinets, electrical enclosures, energy storage cabinets, and other precision sheet metal products.
The system automatically installs up to 8–12 different types of self-clinching fasteners in a single setup, significantly reducing manual intervention and changeover time. M3 to M8 self-clinching nuts, studs, pins, and standoffs with the same outer diameter and lengths ranging from 7–30 mm can share the same feeding tools, improving tooling utilization and production flexibility.

Equipped with a high-performance servo electric cylinder, the press system delivers superior reliability with minimal maintenance requirements. Unlike hydraulic systems, it eliminates the risk of oil leakage and valve failures while providing faster response times and precise stroke control.
The system supports:
The 8-station upper tool magazine enables automatic tool changes without vacuum suction, providing a more reliable and stable tool-changing process.
The standard configuration supports the automatic installation of up to 8 different types of sheet metal fasteners, including:
With an idle stroke of 40–80 mm, the system delivers faster insertion cycles and higher vertical accuracy.
The lower tool magazine features a 100 mm standard clearance stroke, providing ample space for parts with larger flange heights or complex bends.
Key features include:
The workpiece fixture is specially designed with both electromagnetic and vacuum clamping options to securely hold different sheet metal parts.
Combined with a high-precision automatic positioning table, the system offers:
The modular vibratory feeding system allows fast and convenient interchange of feeding tools, punches, and dies.
Simply import a CAD drawing to generate the insertion program.
Key specifications:
Powered by ERSM’s self-developed CNC control system, the machine allows direct setup of insertion programs, insertion force, fastener type, tool stations, and XYZ positioning parameters. It supports MES integration and robot communication for automated production.
Three vision-based hole correction modes automatically detect hole positions to prevent missing, incorrect, or misaligned fastener insertion. Real-time force data is displayed and stored for full traceability, while a 3D simulation function helps verify the insertion process before production.
The HMI supports direct CAD file import, allowing users to generate insertion programs quickly without manual programming.
Operators can easily:
This significantly reduces programming time and improves production efficiency.
The self-developed inspection system automatically detects fastener length and verifies fastener size before insertion, ensuring reliable production quality.
The machine supports automatic installation of:
with lengths ranging from 7 mm to 30 mm as standard, with a maximum supported length of 40 mm.
Your questions about our fastener insertion center, answered by our experts.
Our Fastener Insertion Center can automatically install up to 8 different types of self-clinching fasteners as standard, including nuts, studs, pins, screws, and standoffs. Simply provide the fastener specifications, and we will configure the appropriate automatic feeding systems for your application. After importing the CAD drawing, the machine can automatically complete the insertion process. For applications requiring more than eight fastener types, customized solutions are also available.
The machine inserts one fastener in just 3–5 seconds and automatically switches between different fastener types without requiring operators to move the workpiece between multiple machines. By eliminating manual positioning, fastener changes, and part handling, it significantly reduces labor requirements while greatly improving overall production efficiency.
The Fastener Insertion Center offers a positioning repeatability of ±0.05 mm. It is equipped with a vision inspection system, force monitoring system, and real-time force curve display to prevent missing, incorrect, or misaligned fastener installation while protecting the workpiece from damage caused by excessive insertion force.
Yes. The Fastener Insertion Center can be integrated with industrial robots for automatic loading, unloading, fastener insertion, and palletizing. It also supports MES integration for production data management and smart manufacturing. We have successfully partnered with KUKA to deliver customized automated fastener insertion solutions for our customers.
With 14 years of extensive experience in sheet metal processing, Inserter is your trusted partner. Should you have any questions about our products, we are always ready to assist you.
