When fastening solutions bring more safety

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and, soon, driverless cars, are putting safety at the forefront of the automotive industry in totally new ways. ARaymond has been contributing to automotive safety for years through state-of-the-art fastening solutions and by constantly innovating to respond to increasingly demanding applications.

The airbag clip was created to enhance passenger safety. The clip requires very little force to install, and it must work quickly and support significant stress in the event of an impact.
An advanced manufacturing process was developed to ensure optimal safety and traceability for this product.

ARaymond offers a wide range of screw-in and screwless metal and plastic fastening solutions that cover all IPCC-mounted accessories. These versatile, multi-use standard parts meet standard packaging and design criteria.

PRODUCT FOCUS

Flexibility by design

Due to packaging constraints, fastening interfaces cannot always be integrated into trim panels. Snap-in panel locking fasteners are a smart value-added alternative to integrated flanges for glove and armrest boxes and a number of other standard uses.

The fasteners can be premounted on the IPCC panels and are compatible with several flange clips with a broad range of specifications (pull-out force, open-close, etc.) for flexibility by design!

The fasteners create real opportunities to improve part number management.

High-quality assembly for reduced vehicle noise

A car is subjected to substantial mechanical stress throughout its lifetime. Vibration can compromise structural integrity, ultimately affecting vehicle safety and reliability. And the resulting noise has an enormous impact on consumers’ perceptions of comfort, quality, and performance.

The automotive industry is constantly on the lookout to eliminate NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) and BSR (buzz, squeak, and rattle). Traditionally, testing to identify and eliminate the sources of NVH and BSR issues is done late in the design process.

At ARaymond, we know that fastening quality is a major factor in consumers’ overall perception of vehicle quality. That’s why we focus on NVH and BSR in the early stages of the design process. Our in-house testing lab and expert engineers can assess acoustics, the effects of vibration and temperature on aging, and other key issues, and find the best solution for decoupling vibration, minimizing noise and insulating against airborn noise.

Let us recommend a solution from our catalog or work with you to innovate a new solution to meet your needs.

“

We actually listen to our parts, because we know that our fastening solutions can really make the difference in terms of the perceived overall quality of a car.

”

Reducing BSR (buzz, squeak, and rattle) and thus improving passenger comfort is one of today’s major concerns in the automotive industry. At ARaymond, we know that fastening quality can contribute a lot if we focus on BSR in the early stages of the design process. Acoustics assessments help us develop fastening solutions that can reduce the impact of vibration and noise.

Exterior trim

Improved quality and assembly time

By auto-adjusting its height, the self-adjustable gap compensation bumper brings a real value in terms of both perceived quality and assembly process.

Its design allows a variable distance between the vehicle body and the tailgate which automatically adjusts to the geometry of the vehicle. This offers an easier and quicker calibration process combined to a very high level of accuracy, preventing gaps and thus vibrations and noise. Its locking is screwless done by quarter-turn.

Fasteners increase passive safety

Fasteners like push rivets serve as “mechanical fuses,” improving impact absorption. When they break under the force of an impact, the rivets prevent the shock wave from spreading and protect the parts fastened from deformation.

They also simplify maintenance and lower costs by allowing the equipment to be easily disassembled without being damaged.
