AssemblY
Assembly at Concept Métal effectively combines screwing, crimping and riveting techniques to guarantee strong, durable structures. Thanks to these methods, we ensure robust and precise connections, adapted to the specific requirements of each project. This combination of techniques enables us to optimize the strength and reliability of our welded assemblies.
SCREWING
Screwing involves joining parts together using screws to ensure strong, adjustable connections. This method allows easy disassembly while ensuring a durable connection, ideal for applications requiring subsequent modification or repair. At Concept Métal, screwing is integrated into our assembly processes to meet the specific needs of our customers.
CRIMPING
Crimping is an assembly technique in which one part is deformed to hold another in place, without the need for additional fasteners. This method ensures a strong, watertight connection, often used in industrial applications where strength is crucial. Concept Metal incorporates crimping into its assemblies to guarantee product reliability and durability.
RiveTING
Riveting involves the use of rivets to join parts together permanently and securely. This method is particularly effective for joining materials of different thicknesses or types, ensuring high resistance to mechanical stress. At Concept Métal, riveting is used for applications requiring strong, durable assemblies that meet industrial standards.
POWER CONNECTIONS
Concept Metal has been manufacturing power connections for the rail industry, including insulation, since 2015. Cutting is done by waterjet, laser or saw-cutting, followed by several stages of manufacturing and compliance testing. These connections will account for 17% of sales in 2024, and are managed by a team of five people.
MANUFACTURE OF POWER CONNECTIONS
Concept Métal se spécialise dans la production de connexions de puissance, essentielles pour le secteur ferroviaire. L’entreprise a intégré des techniques modernes d’isolation pour offrir des solutions complètes adaptées aux exigences du marché.
CUTTING METHODS
