Bumper reinforcement
WHAT
Traditional riveting method require a rivet shank to be deformed to securely hold an assembly together.
WHY
The current method of welding the support tubes was expensive and caused quality issues.
HOW
Since the outside surface of the bracket cannot have any protruding material and required a thru-hole for a bolt clearance later in the assembly process, ¸ß±¶ÀºÇò had to think ‘outside the box’. This unique application calls for the bracket material to be formed into the tube to secure the tube to the bracket but maintain thru-hole clearances.
