T-nut and insertion machines








T-nuts used to be inserted into a predrilled hole with a hammer and afterwards stapled to prevent the T-nut from being pushed out. It was a slow and physically demanding job, consisting of 3 steps: pre-drilling, hammering and stapling.
With the SIGMA inserting solution, the speed of insertion is up to 10 times higher, and furthermore, you avoid stapling the SIGMA T-nut.
In a few situations, the SIGMA T-nut machine can even do the pre-drilling, which means we are down to a 1-step working flow!
The T-nut rivet system ensures maximum push-out resistance. As illustrated below, the flaring pin (1) has a conical point for riveting the T-nuts (2).
SMALL
With the correct adjustment of the machine, all SIGMA T-nuts can be riveted for maximum push-out resistance. Moreover, the trumpet shape of the T-nut facilitates the positioning of the screw afterwards.
See the various SIGMA T-nut types below:

` Straight inserted T-nut
` Easier screw mounting
` Riveted T-nut
` Max push-out resistance
` No extra stapling
` Fast and easy insertion – up to 10 times faster
` Less manual handling – less physical strain
` High quality T-nut
We have used our TJEP Handtool LB-18 for almost 6 months now, and we are very happy with this inserting solution made by KYOCERA-UNIMERCO
We have obtained the following advantages with the tool:
` Faster insertion of T-nuts
` High quality of the insertion
` T-nuts always inserted straight
` Higher T-nut quality
` We can only recommend the use of the LB-18 inserting tool

As user of the SIGMA insertion machines and T-nuts we hereby have the opportunity to thank the company KYOCERA- UNIMERCO for good service, delivery accuracy and fast response when needed.
With the SIGMA Machines, we have increased the insertion speed 10 times in comparison to earlier manual insertions.
Large T-nut range, high speed
We have one SIGMA machine for our SIGMA M6 × 12 mm Torqloc T-nuts. We found the SIGMA T-nuts to be of the best quality, and we could get this selflocking T-nut by KYOCERA-UNIMERCO which is important for us.
The speed of the insertion is a lot higher than manual insertion. Furthermore, we have the option to rivet the T-nuts for a higher push-out resistance; this means that the T-nut doesn’t have to be stabled to secure the T-nut from falling out. This saves us yet another working operation! The trumpet shape also navigates the screw easily in the thread.
I can’t see us returning to our old insertion methods again…

EUROLINE has 2 SIGMA machines in use:
We are very satisfied with the outcome of our investment. The SIGMA T-nut machine helped us increase the T-nut insertion speed by up to 5 times compared to manual insertion with hammer.
