Riveting machine for self piercing fasteners

1 min read

Northwick has launched a range of riveting machines which are fully compatible with self piercing rivets.

The Adtech machine range consists of 12 pedestal and bench mounted riveting machines which are suitable for self piercing rivets from 2mm diameter to 12mm shank diameter. Setting forces of 25 tonnes can be achieved with the largest machine in the range. The Adtech machines are designed for a wide variety of applications including automotive assemblies, air conditioning ducts, stainless steel fabrications and construction frameworks. The main benefits of using these machines is that they include an automatic rivet feed system and a very fast cycle time of less than 0.5 seconds. Combined, these features allow users to achieve very high productivity and repeatability. These are industrial quality machines which are an ideal upgrade from conventional C-frame portable riveters which are often seen as being slow and inconsistent by comparison. It is also not necessary to use proprietary rivets as the Adtech machines all use a standard rivet feed hopper system which means that the rivets do not require any special carrier or tape mechanism which can be expensive. .
