TOX Process

TOX Process

TOX Process

(OP)
Hi everybody,
Does somebody know what is the TOX Process? I roughly believe that is some kind of bonding process that doesn't use fasteners or chemicals to bond, is like the same part to be bond is the one that intertwine with the other part with some kind of punching or whatever..

Am I on the right track?
Where can I find more info. about that?
How much can withstand the TOX joint?
What's the pros & cons of use TOX instead of rivets, screws & adhesives?

THANKS IN ADVANCE

           SERGIO JGC

RE: TOX Process

Hi Sergio 1,
I am not to familiar with "TOX" but there is a website for
"TOX"   http://www.tox.de/
SPR (self piercing rivets) somehow sprung to mind.
Cheers T.Williams, N.Wales.

RE: TOX Process

It is a piercing process where a small cup section of sheet metal is deep drawn into the mating piece locking it in place.
It is used successfully on a number of our supply parts as a replacement for spot welding or projection welding.

RE: TOX Process

I've found that Tox joints are no where near as strong as Tog-L-Loc joints.  Also Tox's tooling is more expensive.  I would go with Tog-L-Loc if you are joining sheet metal.

More information about Tog-L-Loc can be found at www.btmcorp.com or www.tog-l-loc.com
