AZIMUTH H612 clinching press

AZIMUTH H612 clinching press was built in 2021 in Canada by Azimuth Press. The machine is used for the mechanical joining of components made of thin sheet metal, providing an alternative to spot welding. Clinching enables the creation of a durable joint without the need for screws or rivets, while preserving the material’s anti-corrosion coating. As a result, the H612 clinching machine is suitable for the production of ventilation ducts and other components of ventilation systems.

The AZIMUTH H612 is designed for machining mild steel with a thickness between 0,3 mm and 1,2 mm. The process begins by placing the sheet metal between the punch and the die. The punch applies pressure to the material, causing localised deformation. Under the pressure, the sheet metal is displaced and formed within the die, creating a characteristic mechanical interlock between the two layers. Once the punch retracts, a permanent mechanical joint is formed. This solution enables fast, repeatable joining, making the machine suitable for serial production.
