How The System Works
The AKH FAS-NER SYSTEM® utilizes a unique, self-piercing rivet, called the AKH FAS-NER®.
​
Its design allows the FAS-NER to mount flush with the material being joined.
​
The AKH FAS-NER® is cylindrical in shape, having concave sides which resembles an hour glass. The FAS-NER® serves as its own punch and is made of either hardened aluminum or high carbon steel.
