Precision Joining Technology for the Highest Demands in the Automotive Industry
Automotive Industry
In the automotive industry, strong, durable and precise joints are essential for safety, functionality and efficiency. Our joining technologies provide reliable solutions for a wide range of applications – from movable components to safety-critical parts.

Hood and Door Hinges
Movable Joints with High Load-Bearing Capacity


Hood and door hinges require exceptional precision and durability. Plain bearing bushings and stepped rivets create strong yet freely moving joints.
These joining solutions provide:
- Low-friction movement
- High wear resistance
- Long-term functional reliability
Ideal for applications in which mechanical loads and movement must be combined.

Seat Frames
Maximum Stability through Innovative Joining Technology


Seat frames must withstand high loads while remaining lightweight and efficient in design. By joining side sections to large-diameter tubes using orbital riveting (GBA), exceptionally stable structures are created.
Advantages:
- High structural stability
- Secure force transmission
- Reliable joints even under dynamic loads

Door Locks
Critical Components Securely Connected


Door locks are safety-critical vehicle components and require absolutely reliable joints. CNC riveting machines from FMW Friedrich join the components efficiently and precisely, producing durable joints.
The result:
- Maximum safety
- Reproducible quality
- Durable joints under high loads

Seat Belt Pretensioners
Precision for the Highest Safety Standards


Seat belt pretensioner systems play a central role in protecting vehicle occupants. The joining technology used here must meet the highest requirements.
Precisely produced joints and robust designs ensure that:
- Safety-critical functions are reliably activated
- Components remain stable even under extreme conditions
- The highest quality standards are met
