#1168 6-Lobe (TX) Truss Head Inserts
Universal Punch Corp. | Precision Tooling
The #1168 6-Lobe (TX) Truss Head Inserts from Universal Punch Corp. are designed for manufacturing truss head fasteners that incorporate the internal six-lobe (TX) drive system. These precision tooling inserts are engineered for cold heading production environments where accurate recess geometry, controlled head formation, and durable tooling performance are required for reliable high-volume fastener manufacturing.
Truss head fasteners feature a wide, low-profile head that provides a larger bearing surface compared to standard pan head designs. This design distributes clamping load more evenly while maintaining strong drive engagement through the internal TX recess. The #1168 insert series supports precise recess formation and consistent head geometry during demanding manufacturing operations.
