The customer in question approached GESIPA®, to find out if it manufactures any automated machine that could be a solution for their requirement.
Although, GESIPA® is a blind fastener manufacturer and manufactures supporting toolingincluding automated blind riveting and failsafe riveting tools, it suggested that customer sends some samples so it can try and set them using the GAV, the automatic blind riveting unit. Riveting up to 40 rivets per minute depending on the type of application, the GAV can be operated either manually or as a component in a robot-controlled system.
With features like speed of the machine, ease of use and easily integrated into any machine build, the GAV brings excellent time and cost savings when used in various applications. With an option to be integrated with robotic systems or setting process monitoring via the GESIPA® interface that ensures rivet is set correctly, it is one of its kinds available in the market and was an excellent solution to the aforementioned customer requirement.
After the GAV proved successful in setting the sealing plugs into the application, GESIPA® invited the customer to visit their modern facility, including the new customer demonstration room and the GAV in situ at its premises in Keighley. This newly built demonstration room successfully showcases the capabilities of what GESIPA® can offer .Tools to save time, reduce production cost and process control tools are all set up ready for viewing and demonstration in this dedicated area.
The success of this project has not only led to a much stronger collaboration between the two and opened all new market for GESIPA® but also demonstrated its approach to finding the best possible solutions to its customer’s assembly requirements.
