Tox clinching techniques are not used in the aviation industry yet, because there isa lot of legislation to prove the product is competent for the job in hand.The technology developed saves energy by not joining metals by fusion, thereforereducing the overall impact levels of the process.TOX ClinchingAlso known as riveting without rivets usually using the solid die cavity, a punchpresses the two metals into the die forcing the metal to take the shape and clinchtogether, Due to its cost effectiveness and reliability it is fast and effective way ofsealing two metals together.Solid punch rivet:Insertion of a fastener for solid punch rivets, tools, devices for rivet setting and rivetfeeding – all at one stop. This machine is basically a riveting gun but with Toxmodules.Questions asked:TOX Waste1. What waste is produced?Answer: Paper, glass, foil, different metal types. There are colour marked bins ineach unit for easy separation. Waste from packaging and production, both solidand liquid. We also use cold forming processes which saves a lot of energy andproduces less heat. We produce no fumes or toxic steam, which means ouremissions are very low and safer for the operators.2. Is there anything that cannot be recycled?Answer: Any oil contaminated materials, including oil itself.30
