RIVSET® self-pierce riveting systems

High-strength and reliable joining of materials

It makes mechanically strong joints of similar or combined material types. Multilayer joints are also possible.

Plus factors

Advantages RIVSET® self-pierce riveting systems

Cold joining
There is no heat input into the joining zone, therefore there is no risk of distortion in the component.
Customer-specific solutions
RIVSET® self-pierce riveting systems can be flexibly adapted to meet your requirements.
Easy integration
RIVSET® self-pierce riveting systems are easy to integrate into existing production lines.

Method and principle

RIVSET® configuration

RIVSET® setting systems

RIVSET® Portable C
Advantages

Defined setting cycle

Precise pressure adjustment via display

Digital pressure control

Battery-powered

You can replace self-pierce rivet heads directly at the installation site.

The Portable C is available in two variants, the tape feed version for tape-collated semi-tubular rivets and the magnetic punch version for inserting a single semi-tubular rivet.
You can replace the self-pierce rivet heads directly at the installation site.

The basic device is also suitable for die WELTAC® processing .

Modules for RIVSET® Automation E

New C-frame generation
Properties

The process of designing self-pierce rivet setting tools, whether for new versions or changes, is drastically shortened.

The new C-frame offers average weight reduction of 20% and thus contributes to a compact design.

Nearly parallel opening of the C-frame supports improved connectivity quality.

You can configure the rivet setting tools by yourself.
