Fasteners - Self-Piercing Rivets Fastriv®
The Fastriv® self-piercing rivet system is engineered to pierce and fasten in one operation, simplifying assembly and reducing costs while providing a strong, reliable joint. The geometry of Fastriv® self-piercing rivets is designed to provide optimal performance. The Fastriv® self-piercing rivet system joins sheet metals, plastics and other components and can be used to join dissimilar materials or pre-coated sheets. These benefits make it an efficient fastening solution over other methods such as spot welding, bolting, adhesive bonding, clinching or blind riveting. For example, unlike welding, Fastriv® self-piercing rivets do not create a heat zone in the materials during installation, so changes and damage to the application materials are minimized. Additionally, because piercing and joining take place at one time, pre-drilled holes, hole preparation and hole alignment are eliminated resulting in higher productivity and more cost-effective assembly. During installation, the pierce rivets are fed automatically and pressed into the components. Installation systems are adapted to specific production processes - from hand-operated systems to automated assembly lines. The surrounding work area is clean and operator friendly. The installation process is quiet and does not create heat or sparks. Riveting modules and dies are configured to the respective application and can be combined with other Avdel® installation systems. Due to their short cycle times, these systems provide a very efficient working process, reducing assembly times to a minimum. They are especially cost-effective for medium- and large-volume production.
During installation, Fastriv® self-piercing rivets are fed automatically and pressed into the components. The installation tools or workstations are adapted to the respective production processes. Riveting modules and dies are configured to the respective application. A wide variety of tooling - from hand-operated systems to automated assembly lines - is available to place Fastriv® fasteners. Each can be customised to meet the specific requirements of your assembly line and decrease your installed costs. Please contact the Avdel® facility in Canada for assistance in selecting the optimal tool for your assembly.
