Humanoid Robotics
Humanoid robots, from factory floor assistants and warehouse pickers to home and elder care applications, are entering commercial scale-up, with production volumes and forecasts trending sharply upward.

Every humanoid platform is a dense, weight-constrained assembly of actuators, sensors, batteries, and structural members that must survive constant motion without loosening or adding bulk. Our engineered fastening solutions address many of these challenges while being designed for manufacturing scalability.
Our engineered fastening solutions span the full humanoid platform:
- Custom solutions with PEM® Application Engineering and Testing support for purpose-engineered fastening with Design for Manufacturability focus.
- Threaded inserts and SMT fastening solutions for Plastic Housings and PCBs.
- Broaching and self clinching technology for sheet-metal and cast enclosures.
- Ghost™ fasteners, Panel Fasteners and Tool-less solutions for field reparability.
- Wire Management solutions for optimized routing.
- Vibration resistant fastening solutions for high cycle joints.
- microPEM® solutions for compact joints and lightweighting.
