150 NC DIGITAL 15-Ton Fastener Insertion and Clinching Machine
Please contact for prices
The 150 NC DIGITAL is a 15-ton hydraulic fastener insertion and clinching machine with touchscreen controls for applications requiring additional process adjustment. Integrated software provides a preloaded and updatable library of inserts and working forces, together with punch stroke control and electronically adjustable pressing time from 0–5 seconds.
A 450 mm throat depth provides access to joining positions within the component, while the adjustable 0–80 mm stroke allows punch travel to suit the work. The hydraulic system is powered by a 4 kW motor, with a working height of 1,033 mm.
Designed for inserting and clinching applications in copper, aluminium, carbon steel and stainless steel, the machine can also undertake riveting operations with suitable tooling. The fastener or rivet, material thickness, component geometry and joint requirements determine the appropriate tooling arrangement.
The machine incorporates a dual integrated safety system, a punch-holder sensor and operation through a dual electric safety pedal. The sensor-equipped punch-holder assembly monitors vertical barrel movement and stops the machine cycle if that movement exceeds its permitted travel.
Optional equipment includes an automatic insert feeding system and a four-station rotary tooling turret with automatic work-position detection. These can be considered where the application requires additional fastener handling or multiple tooling positions.
Contact The Workshop Press Company with your component drawings, material details and production requirements to discuss a suitable machine, tooling and control configuration.

Fastener Insertion, Clinching and Riveting FAQs
Find answers to common questions about fastener insertion, sheet metal clinching, riveting, machine capacities, analogue and digital controls, tooling, safety features and rotary indexers.
Operator Safety and Punch-Holder Protection

The 60 ANALOG incorporates a dual integrated safety system and a dual electric safety pedal. These form part of the machine’s standard operating and protective arrangements.
The upper punch holder secures the tooling at the pressing position. Correct tooling selection, component support and operator access are important when specifying the complete working arrangement.
Sensor-equipped punch-holder assemblies use a vertically moving barrel monitored by a movement sensor. If the barrel travels beyond its permitted limit, the sensor activates and stops the machine cycle.
Punch-holder sensing is specified for the NC digital versions. Contact us to confirm the protective features provided on the machine configuration you require.
Need Multiple Tooling Positions? Consider an NC Digital Model

The optional four-station rotary turret provides four tooling positions with automatic work-position detection.
It is worth considering where a component requires different tooling positions or fastener types. The tooling configuration and operating sequence are selected around the proposed application.
This option is listed for NC digital machines, rather than the 60 ANALOG. If your work requires multiple tooling positions, ask us about the 60 NC DIGITAL and its available equipment.
