The use of rotational tool movement during clinching enables the joining of endless profiles at uniformly high speed. For a successful implementation in industrial scale, the influence of process and tool parameters on the properties of the joints has to be investigated. The loads during the process are of unknown amount and make it difficult to design tools and machines. Therefore, the aim of this work is to close these gaps and broaden the understanding of roller clinching. In relation to translational clinching, comparable mechanical properties at reduced joining forces and consistently high throughput rates were achieved. This proves the high economic potential of roller clinching.
