Learn how Haeger’s mission can become your profitability

• Are you still handling your parts multiple times?
• Are you still manually feeding the majority of your fasteners?
• Are you still experiencing substantial setup times on both new and repeat jobs?
• Are you still under the assumption that setting up automatic tooling is too complicated or too time consuming?

Are you still experiencing:

• Missing fasteners?
• Fasteners inserted in the wrong location?
• Fasteners inserting on the wrong side of the part?
• Wrong length stud or standoff inserted?
• Parts scratched due to manual feeding in combination with multiple handlings?

We have taken your feedback seriously for many years and have developed multiple solutions to address the challenges you are facing. The integration of all these solutions are found in the 824™ WindowTouch® 5e.

Easier and Faster Tooling Setup

MAS 350 – New Modular Autofeed System.
A unique new drive system in combination with a complete new bowl design incorporating all the latest bowl feeding technologies.
A long list of advantages, but what does this mean to you?

• Tool Change reduced from 3 minutes to 3 seconds through a one piece tool module.

• No more manual bowl settings required. Software automatically sets the proper vibration rate, air eject time and required air pressure to allow for failure free fastener feed. From a full bowl down to the last one out.
  Reliable Feeding. Faster Changeover. No Training Required.

• Larger bowl design in combination with new drive allowing for fastener sizes M1.5 through M10 all to be fed in the same bowl.

• Deeper Bowl design in combination with new bowl tooling design allowing for fastener lengths up to 30mm all to be fed in the same bowl.

• New drive design allows for a 1 single tool piece, resulting in faster and easier tool changes.

• Change in bowl material resulting in fasteners becoming less dirty from “airdust” or individual rubbing

• Lower mounting position allowing for easier filling and emptying.

New T-Bracket and Shuttle with integrated Connectors eliminating alignment challenges.
Fastest and easiest setup in the industry. Reduced from 2 minutes to 10 seconds without having to think about which connector goes where. On traditional machines, an operator had to change multiple air-lines and sensor cables, unnecessarily delaying  changeover times. In addition, operators required training for alignment of the T-Bracket and shuttle, which has been eliminated with this new system. New re-designed Shuttle Plate Jaw Pins, eliminating breakage and saving cost for replacement and downtime.
Pre-aligned Base Plate
A pre-aligned base plate allows for easy tool holder changeover. No alignment of tools required. Where a tooling re-alignment after tool holder replacement used to take up to 5 minutes, this setup time has now been completely eliminated.

824™ WindowTouch® 5

Fastener Insertion System – Best Workpiece Accessibility

Lower Support Arm.
200mm more access on lower support arm.
Through the use of built-in reinforcements and a change in frame design, the 824™ WindowTouch® 5e now offers more accessibility on the lower support arm.

The “Star Design” Turret Insertion System (TIS) allows for access in “U-Shaped profiles”.
Compared to a round Turret Design, the Star Design offers maximum accessibility for a variety of pre-formed workpieces. The Turret Insertion System clamps the tools in position while providing Position Feedback, eliminating the famous “missing fastener” error.

The turret arms are individually removable, allowing for even more access while the position feedback (and process control) remains present.
Manual J-Frame with 24” (610mm) throat depth. Changeover from Automatic Top Feeding to using a J-Frame is now done within seconds. This makes it a more attractive to use feature for a variety of pre-formed workpieces. The Haeger J-Frame solution allows for insertion under flanges up to 1mm from the bending line.
J-Frame in combination with ABFT (Automatic Bottom Feed Tool). Unique in the industry is the Automatic Bottom Feeding of Nuts in combination with a J-Frame to maximize productivity and increase ergonomics for those workpieces requiring installation under return flanges.

Automatic Tooling:
Upper Tools, Lower Tools and Shuttle Plates are compatible with previous Haeger machine models. The One-Piece Multi-module for the MAS-350 Autofeed System reduces total components per set from 5 to 4.

824™ WindowTouch® 5

Best Operator Ergonomics:
Operator control pendant can be adjusted in 6 directions, allowing for easy access and a great view of screen instructions while standing up or sitting down.
Energy Saving:
New variable speed hydraulics reduce energy consumption up to 30% compared to conventional hydraulic systems.

Easier and Faster Programming:
The ALL NEW intuitive Insertion Logic® Software with Insertion Graphics and Integrated Statistic Process Control allows for more functionality while reducing programming time.
Insertion Logic® provides you with the recommended operating time for the part programmed and monitors and stores any corrected errors during the insertion process, allowing you to provide this data with your deliveries to your customers.

PEM® Fastener Installation
For best overall performance PEM® fasteners must be installed using a parallel acting, controlled squeezing force. With proper installation the integrity of the assembly is ensured. Haeger® and PEMSERTER® installation machines are engineered and ideally suited for this specific purpose. The diverse family of fastener-insertion machines offered by PennEngineering ranges from basic handheld tools to the most technologically advanced systems available in the industry.
Having introduced the world’s first self-clinching fastener in 1942, PennEngineering remains the sole manufacturer of genuine PEM® brand fasteners and the global leader in hardware and equipment solutions for thin-sheet attachment challenges.
PEM® self-clinching fasteners can be easily installed in just 3 easy steps:

| 1.  Place the fastener into the anvil hole and place the mounting hole (preferably the punch side) over the shank of the fastener.
---|---
| 2.  With installation punch and anvil surfaces parallel, apply squeezing force until the head of the nut comes in contact with the sheet material.
| 3. Install the mating piece from the side opposite the head of the fastener.

Additional notes . . .

1. Mounting holes may be punched or drilled; they should  ot be chamfered or have broken edges in excess of .005”/.127 mm. Hole tolerances of +.003, -.000/+0.08 mm must generally be held. The fastener should be installed on the punch side if the sheet is .09”/2.29 mm or thicker because of the piercing break-to-die diameter. In all cases, the manufacturer’s recommended “minimum centerline of hole to edge of sheet” distance should be observed. No deburring or countersinking is required.
2. Installation typically results in a flush surface on one side of the panel.
3. When installing, the most important criterion is that the fastener must be squeezed into place with any parallel acting force.
4. Because the installation equipment generates no excess noise or pollution, the fasteners can be installed anywhere in the production process. No special facilities, ventilation equipment, or safety procedures are required.
5. When installed using the recommended squeezing force (depending on the size of the fastener and hardness of the sheet metal), there is little or no distortion of the sheet or damage to the finished surface. Fasteners generally should be installed after plating, finishing or anodizing.
6. Sheet material must be softer than the fastener. If the fastener is not hard enough, it will deform (crush) instead of cold flowing the sheet material.

All PEM® products meet our stringent quality standards. If you require additional industry or other specific quality certifications, special procedures and/or part numbers are required. Please contact your local sales office or representative for further information.
