GESIPA® states that riveting processes for mass production in industrial manufacturing can be automated relatively easily and cheaply to produce economic benefits, with its range of riveting machines offering flexible and versatile in-line operation by either machine operators or robots.
The practical modular design and wide range of applications from 2.4mm to 8mm diameter ensures that GESIPA® riveting machines can be configured to suit customer requirements. Capable of up to 48 riveting processes per minute, GESIPA® GAV 8000 eco, GAV 8000 electronic and GAV HF riveting machines are amongst the global market leaders in industrial applications.
Changes in application can also be handled rapidly and the system can be adapted to suit new requirements. GESIPA® points out that the optional setting process monitoring system has become indispensable, in particular when it comes to fitting safety components, such as in the automotive and automotive supplier industry. A combination of using highly functional GESIPA® blind rivets and GESIPA® blind riveting machines with monitored setting process guarantees safe processes and fastenings. The option of interrupting the setting process in the case of anomalies and saving setting process data provides additional security and also means the fastening can be tracked and retrieved at any time.
“A comprehensive analysis of the fastenings and processes used in production can help to make long term cost reductions. Our technical sales team specialises in using the wide range of GESIPA® PolyGrip® or G-Bulb® blind rivets to optimise the variety of parts in such a way as to ensure that mistakes are largely avoided and long term savings potential can be targeted in the area of handling and logistics costs. In the course of this optimisation process, work stations can be improved still further or even cut down and cycle times can be reduced considerably, thereby leading to further increases in production efficiency.”
