Blind Threaded Insert Assembly
Overview
Together, AVK and Calvary have expanded our fastening system abilities by offering semi
and fully automated options for a multitude of sheet metal, composite, extrusion
and hydro-formed structure assemblies; replacing among other things labor intensive weld nuts,
sheet metal rivets, and self tapping screws.
Since 1983 AVK Industrial Products have been the vanguard
of blind threaded structural insert and blind threaded stud technology.
AVK is the design originator of "Spinwall Technology™" maximizing grip-range,
blind side upset and ease of installation capability.
Calvary Automations technology, combined with AVK inserts,
provide the ultimate high-speed labor saving assembly solution.

The tools can be mounted in any orientation, 360°, installing inserts from above, below or the side of a work piece. Its slim profile allows the automated insert system to be mounted on three-inch centers, x,y,z slide configuration or a robotic arm providing maximum installation flexibility and labor reduction. Calvary’s automated AVK SPP™ tools will handle AVK’s A-L Series™ inserts, A-K Series™ inserts, A-H Series™ inserts, A-S Series™ and other customized components.
