RSF25. RETHINKING MANU ACF TURING. WHATEVER YOUR VISION FOR TOMORROW MIGHT BE: BUILD IT TODAY.

For your manufacturing tomorrow: RSF25 – our model of the future. The result of over 20 years’ manufacturing experience in flow drilling screw connections and over 1,000 systems in key markets worldwide. Driven by the increasing demands and expectations of our international customers: The RSF25 from WEBER. VERSATILE as never before. FASTER than all its predecessors. The MOST INTELLIGENT model of its kind. With the patented WEBER depth gradient for PRECISE switching between the flow drill and thread forming steps. Our answer to the challenges set by industry. PATENTED WEBER DEPTH GRADIENT Step...

INTELLIGENT BOOST FUNCTION Material with standard dimensions Material at lower end of tolerance To solve this problem, WEBER uses the new boost feature offered by the RSF25. This increases both axial force and speed automatically until the depth gradient is achieved. Material at upper end of tolerance Problems with material tolerances + ome materials such as sand-cast aluminum S have high tolerances in terms of material or mechanical strength + ets of parameters are defined in the lab for a S predefined thickness or strength of material + uring production, wear in molds or general D variations...

AUTOMATIC PRE-PUNCH COMPENSATION The screw is guided by the jaws right up to the point at which the screw tip has penetrated the material. Only then are the jaws opened and the screwing procedure can then begin. Screwdriver positioned at the sheet Screw tip makes contact Advantage: + se of a retention plate for screws up to a length U of 25 mm without protrusion of the screw tip + Increases flexibility in production + Reduces size of spare part inventory + Less project planning effort The floating head guides the screw until it has penetrated the sheet, independently of the pre-punch depth Screw...

VARIOUS SCREW LENGTHS No additional changeover work The longer floating path offered by the RSF makes it possible to process various lengths of screw with a single head design. The RSF25 is designed to handle various lengths of screw. For screws up to a length of 25 mm, a retention plate is used to prevent protrusion of the screw tip. This makes it possible to use screws of 18 to 30 millimeters in length without making changes to the design. This, in turn, increases flexibility in production while reducing the quantity of spare parts required and project planning effort. 5

FLEXIBLE DESIGN The main body of the RSF25 spindle is the same for all models. This makes it possible to switch between straight and compact versions of the RSF25 with a few simple steps and just 6 screws – with the spindle as a parts-optimized interface in the center. This modular design works to unify assembly, shorten delivery times, and reduce the volume of spare parts needed. Spindle without drive Switch between straight and compact RSF25 versions with a few simple steps

OPTIMIZED DRIVE DETECTION Thanks to the preliminary detection step, the flow drill process starts immediately after the screw is placed in position The RSF25 detects the screw to be processed not via process force but by using low-strength spring tension. This removes the need for detection stages: process time is shortened and the screw procedure starts immediately after placement. This enables process cycle times of less than 1.6 seconds – around a whole second less than conventional techniques. At the same time, process reliability improves while bit wear is reduced. + ith the RSF 25, the...
