Reduce riveting time with Rivit automatic feeders 09 December 2016

Rivit Srl has introduced the RIV606 and RIV616 automatic feeders, which it says help to double productivity and half installation time for blind rivets and rivet nuts.

Rivit explains that the reduction in riveting time is an essential goal for industrial applications, particularly for the automotive industry. This is why Rivit developed its RIV606 and RIV616 pneumatic/electric units, which load the rivet or the rivet nut directly on the head of the riveting tool.

Using these units, Rivit points out, eliminates the contact between the operator’s hand and the body of the fasteners in the loading phase, assuring more productivity and higher safety.

RIV606 is an automatic feeder for standard blind rivets from 2.4mm to 6.4mm in diameter and can be used with tools with mandrel suction such as models RIV502, RIV503 or RIV505.

RIV616 is an automatic feeder for rivet nuts from M3 to M8 with cylindrical or hexagonal shank, with dome, reduced or countersunk head and can be used with tools such as RIV938, RIV912 and RIV942.
