Product types Videos

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

The product range of RIVSET® self-pierce riveting systems includes manual systems and systems for fully automatic production. Our systems are designed for a wide variety of applications and can be adapted to specific manufacturing environments. Configuration of the various system components – power unit, feed, tool, panel and visualization – is highly flexible. Your application determines the system.

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 .
To our RIVSET® Portable C operating instruction
RIVSET® Classic
Properties

Rivet feed and setting head with minimal interference contour for optimal access to the joining point

Manipulation either of the component or of the setting tool

Processing of tape-collated self-pierce rivets or individual self-pierce rivets with manual single-rivet feed

Robust and resistant mechanical design for long service life of the setting head components that are subject to load

Easy handling

Modules for RIVSET® Automation

Die changer
Properties

Receptacles for up to eight dies

Die change approx. 6.0 s

Die identification via receptacle position

Assignment of die ID for each joining point

Die locking in the die receptacle of the setting tool

Optional die identification via die shank coding with camera sensor
Magazine feed
Properties

Consists of a loading station and magazine holder on the setting tool

Up to eight different rivet lengths can be processed in one magazine

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.

Automation solutions

ready2_rivet
Böllhoff and KUKA simply redefine automation of self-pierce riveting processes.

As an expert in mechanical joining technology, we developed the ready2_rivet package in collaboration with KUKA, one of the leading providers of intelligent automation solutions.
Harmonised, pre-configured systems that can be deployed quickly and are easy to operate – this is the result of our cooperation.

Properties

Operation/parameterisation via a control unit for easy handling

Robot control/process control in a cabinet to reduce your hardware and the system’s footprint

Partially integrated power supply for improved accessibility

Predefined configurations for easier commissioning

Fast, pre-programmed commissioning with three measuring points allows easier changes of:

Tool

Magazine

Dies

Troubleshooting and quality assurance with “process done” monitoring during operation
