What Attaching Machine is Right for You?


Choosing the right attaching machine for your production needs is easy with YKK Snap Fasteners America's extensive range of equipment. When considering what type of attaching machine best fits your needs, you only need consider the following factors:

  • Type of fastener system required
  • Production capacity - Daily, Monthly and Annually
  • Manufacturing processes - Operational handling
  • Application requirements - Attachment substrate and positioning
  • Machine cost vs cost per attachment

Based on fastener type, production capacity volumes, handling processes and application positioning, YKK Snap Fasteners America attaching machines can address all of your needs. Listed below are the basic types of attaching equipment for your consideration.
  • HANDPRESS: Used most often for prototype applications or sample production, these machines offer limited daily application volume. Moreover, if they are not closely monitored, inconsistent attachments are possible. These machines are for sale; no lease is available.

  • FOOTPRESS: Used in production environments that require low volume daily attachments, the footpress is hand loaded, each fastener component must be positioned in the attaching dies manually, and then the foot pedal is depressed. The foot pedal drives the actual fastener attachment. As with the handpress, attachment consistency is totally controlled by the speed and proficiency of the operator. These machines are for sale; no lease is available.

  • PNEUMATIC or ELECTRIC MANUAL PRESS: These differ from the footpress in that pneumatic or electrical devices drive the attachment process. This makes application faster and more consistent. As with the footpress, fastener components are positioned in the attaching dies by hand. These machines are for sale; no lease is available.

  • PNEUMATIC OR ELECTRIC, FULLY AUTOMATIC ATTACHING MACHINES: These machines are used in high volume production environments that require fast and consistent attachments. Volume production is the basic criteria for the automatic attaching machines. These machines are leased only.
