The most significant feature of this technique, which is established in the DIN 8593 standard, is that the joint is formed from the material of the metal parts to be clinched. Not only that, the parts to be clinched can be of the same or differing sheet thickness and be made from the same or different materials.

The requirements of joints are so diverse that Eckold takes the individual requirements of the user into account. Eckold offers an unsurpassed diversity of joint types in order to allow the ideal clinch to be made for the respective application.
