New materials enable new applications for an old joining process.

BRIGHTON, MI—Promess Inc., a manufacturer of sensing and assembly technology, has promoted John Lytle to the role of president.

CHANGZHOU, China—Global systems integrator Comau has designed and built an automated line to assemble small “range extender” engines for EV manufacturer Li Auto Inc.

Self-clinching fasteners solve problem of metal oxide layers on copper and aluminum parts.

Engineers have three options for high-force pressing applications: hydraulic, hydropneumatic and servo.

COLLEGE STATION, TX—Engineers at Texas A&M University have developed functional interlocking metasurfaces that provide more structural strength and stability than nuts, bolts or adhesives.

Three new clinching technologies use heat to join fiber-reinforced composites to metal parts.

Hand operation is ideal for low-volume, low-force applications.

Automation helps to cut assembly time in half.

The presses stamp out 17 million parts annually with an accuracy of ±0.1 millimeter.
