Tucker® Nutfast
Nut welding with Tucker® Nutfast® — a reliable basis for all your connections. Welding Tucker nuts to sheet metal makes a fast, cost-effective, and highly resistant connection.
Fast facts:
- Large scale and force-fit connections with the base plate, hence high resilience (strength classes 8 and 10)
- Access only needed to one side of workpiece
- Maximum pressing force when welding (< 300="" n="" />)
- Very high availability even using flexible robotised mass production
- Automatic application, low handling costs, up to 30 Tucker Nuts / minute
- Low energy consumption in comparison with resistance nuts
- Seamless service right from the start - from nut design to a complete production facility.
More about Tucker® nuts:
The special geometry of Tucker Nuts and a large outer diameter create a highly secure positive bond to the base plate. The Tucker Nut is cold-forged, resulting in its very high internal strength. M5 to M10.
- Fully automated feed
- Rounded head to prevent possible damage to cables routed immediately adjacent
- Can be used as threaded inserts without drilling the base plate
- For fastening all mounted parts
- High flexural rigidity
More about Nutfast welding equipment:
Nutfast equipment is customised for your specific application. Robotised, static or manual, exactly according to your requirements. This process guarantees splatter-free threads. The maximum pressing force applied when welding Tucket Nuts makes Nutfast the preferred process for welding on all standard sheet metals, including dual phase steel.
