"Let's see how you make out over the next 2 years." "Many people have tried to start a Clinching Machinery Manufacturing Business. Many have failed". May 8th, 2020. Here we are, 4 years later, Covid, Death in the family, Serious illness, and assorted other challenges. We are still here and growing and the future looks very bright. It is not a joke though, it was a ton of hard work. Still is. But we are establishing our brand, our reputation, and the TRex, Servo Raptor, and Thor are getting established as top-of-the-line, award winning products. For that we have so very many people to thank for their support. Virginia Selemidis, Steve Selemidis Jeff McIsaac, Stephen Veldhuis, Simon Coulson, MASc, PEng Justin Valenti, Grant Nixon, C.E.T., Bipasha Bose, Majid Abdoos, PhD, Gillian S.. And many more. Some of you I have kept your names out for competitive reasons 😉 Next it is time for global domination 💪

Well that is our first drive thru order. Completely forgot to ask if they wanted fries with that 🍟. Lol. Regardless, we have some happy campers taking another PLT-Rex home.

This Auto-Indexing T Rex is taking two pieces of 12 gauge mild steel and joining them together with our Cold Metal Joining process named #sheetmetalclinching. This video has some oddities in it. Can you spot them? https://lnkd.in/gyRXpTnS #pressthepedallockthemetal #coldmetaljoining #sheetmetalautomation

How do I know if I did it right? I've been doing this for 25 years. Still, sometimes the camera doesn't lie. We have an outtake that leads to this video that we will probably post in a week or so. However, joining two layers of 18gauge metal, I was surprised by how well it did. Maybe that will happen to you sometime. We can complete formal testing for you to have a solid understanding of a good clinch and the tooling and settings needed. Let this video give you some ideas. #coldmetaljoining #pressthepedallockthemetal #clinchingsheetmetal https://lnkd.in/gCUXt52m

"I just need a quick Rule of Thumb here" So you have no tools, no measuring instruments. You have a deadline to get parts done and you have your handy Press Lock clinching machine and some 18 gauge steel. This is not a structural connection, obviously. If it were you would have go / no go gauges and clear work instructions for pass fail. This is a sheet metal part that needs to be held together well. In this video we go over the steps to get a very good clinch in a short time with reasonable confidence. https://lnkd.in/gJba4cK9 #ColdMetalJoining #PressThePedalLockTheMetal #clinchsheetmetal #NorthAmericanManufacturing
