Advantages of FIP:

  • Reduced cycle time
  • Reduced costs due to the fast process and less parts to manipulate
  • Higher Strength: With less material, higher strength can be achieved
  • Easy one-sided access only assembly process # Geometric Simplification
  • Connection geometry can be integrated into the part to connect
  • Design freedom: different sizes such as long or large geometries are possible
  • Form freedom: No rotational symmetry required
  • Improved aesthetics: No fasteners are visible

Key Features:

  • Optimized for Fibrous Materials: Specifically developed for fibrous components, the Lotus excels in integrating with textile structures, offering high strength and deep integration in the fibrous matrix.
  • Rapid Installation Process: With a processing time of approximately 1 second, the Lotus provides a swift and efficient fastening solution, ideal for high-speed production environments.
  • Invisible from the Opposite Side: Its innovative design leaves no markings on the opposite side, even in thin and sensitive materials, ensuring a clean and professional finish.
  • One-Sided Installation: The Lotus requires access from only one side for installation, simplifying the assembly process and enhancing design flexibility.
  • Versatile in Application: Suitable for connecting thin sheet metal to fibrous materials without pre-drilled holes, and available in several common thermoplastics, it offers broad applicability.

Application Examples:

  • Headliner and Wheel Arch Liner: The LiteWWeight® Lotus fasteners are ideal for automotive applications, serving as an effective replacement for conventional fasteners in headliners, wheel arch liners, and heat shields.

Experience the versatility and efficiency of the LiteWWeight® Lotus – a fastener that transforms fibrous material assembly, brought to you by MultiMaterial-Welding AG.

Cycle Time and Cost Reduction

Its fast installation process reduces cycle times and overall costs, with fewer parts needed for manipulation.

Enhanced Strength with Less Material

Despite using less material, the Lotus achieves higher strength, contributing to lightweight yet robust assemblies.

Design and Form Freedom

Offers the flexibility of integrating the connection geometry into the part to be connected, allowing for various sizes and shapes without the need for rotational symmetry.

Aesthetically Pleasing

The design of the Lotus ensures that fasteners remain hidden, improving the overall aesthetics of the final product.
