RIVKLE® - Principal and mechanical characteristics When installed into the workpiece, RIVKLE® blind rivet nuts have two functions: ■ A RIVET function allows two or more sheets to be permanently joined ■ A NUT function provides a reusable anchor for assembly of single or multiple sheets. RIVKLE® blind rivet nuts can be installed in many types of workpiece (metal, plastic, composite, etc.) without surface damage to painted or pre-treated panels. The RIVKLE® blind rivet nuts are available in a wide variety of combinations: Head Style Body Type RIVKLE® blind rivet nut - Setting methods The...

RIVKLE® blind rivet nut – Setting methods 2 - Pull setting methods 2.1 Stroke setting method: control of the assembly tool stroke distance The operator sets the stroke on the setting tool in accordance with the values shown in the RIVKLE® catalogue tables. The setting tool exerts the maximum pressure and automatically stops when the preset stroke is reached (mechanical stop). This represents the traditional way to install a RIVKLE® but this method is neither adapted or reliable for process control. 2.2 Pressure setting method: force controlled installation In the stroke setting method, the...

RIVKLE® – Automatic setting systems Advantages: I Pick & Place: management of the RIVKLE® I Automatic reloading: RIVKLE® distribution by I Up to 4 setting heads fed with only 1 bowl feeder I Recycling of disorientated RIVKLE® avoiding The automatic setting tool range is optimised for integration into production lines. The setting heads can be used with a RIVKLE® automatic feeding system (vibratory bowl feeder). The choice between RIVKLE® HSA 2.0 and RIVKLE® ESA 2.0 range depends on the type of energy (pneumatic/hydraulic or electic). Pick & place configuration Blow-feed configuration The...

RIVKLE® HSA 2.0 - Automatic setting tool Advantages: ■ Robust and reliable setting unit ■ Complete process control ■ Integrated automatic loading system ■ Recycling incorrectly pre-loaded RIVKLE® without interruption ■ Communication capabilities (Ethernet, TOR, Fieldbus) The RIVKLE® HSA 2.0 equipment has been designed for high volume production with optimised reliability and ease of installation and maintenance. The RIVKLE® HSA 2.0 heads use oil for the setting process and air for all head movements. Compensation A compensator (robot or fixed) allows compensation of RIVKLE® alignment to the...

■ Robust and reliable setting unit ■ Complete process control ■ Integrated automatic loading system ■ Recycling incorrectly pre-loaded RIVKLE® without interruption ■ Communication capabilities (Ethernet, Fieldbus) The new RIVKLE® ESA 2.0 equipment range offers a fully electric and automatic setting solution. Installed on a transfer module, the RIVKLE® ESA 2.0 integrates a linear slide module to control the placement of the RIVKLE® into the workpiece. Only electrical energy is necessary to control the RIVKLE® ESA 2.0 (functions and movements). ■ Very precise movement control and measurement....
