Henrob magazine feed rivet setting system

Our blow feed systems are ideal for high volume rivet applications where the economics are attractive for continuous feed. Direct feed and magazine feed systems are designed to meet high levels of reliability using built-in intelligence for fault identification and self-recovery. The use of quick-change parts minimizes maintenance and downtime. 

Magazine rivet feed

  • Magazine: Fast rivet feed times / suitable for full range of typical automotive rivets / 4 bar air supply servo setter
  • Energy efficient riveting: 7Wh per rivet achievable
  • Higher productivity: energy-based system = more rivets per cycle
  • Dependable joint process monitoring: Encoder control for consistent, repeatable joint quality
  • Fewer preventive maintenance cycle count: 4M cycles in between PM
  • Setting force: Provides a setting force up to 85k

System components

Control Panel

Optional capacitor module recovers electrical energy during the riveting cycle.

Energy reclamation option available

Suitable for standard system layouts and multi-communication protocols, the control panel offers a solution that fits your production line. The control panel includes a touch screen HMI, process monitoring, system diagnosis and maintenance scheduling to keep your processes running smoothly.

Data driven services

Monitor your performance

Monitor up to 20 control panels

Data-driven services (DDS) optimize processes by tracing riveted joints with data-logging and system diagnostics providing detailed performance data on your production line aiding in maintenance resource allocation. System back-up allows rapid upload of system data to support emergencies.

Rivet supply

Continuous and error-proof rivet supply

Continuous and error-proof rivet supply

  • Standard rivet feeder includes a rivet length checker to prevent the wrong size rivets being used in your application.
  • Optional poka-yoke solution ensures that only the correct rivets are loaded into cubes utilizing RFID technology.
  • Running costs are decreased as the system operates at 4 bar, also improving the ecological footprint.

Magazine Fill Station

Increase your productivity with fewer systems and multiple rivet options

Fewer riveting systems required

Multi-rivet feeding is realized with the magazine fill station covering the full range of typical automotive rivets allowing for flexibility. Productivity is increased and fewer rivet setting systems are required to apply the same range of rivets. Improved design features allow quick and simple access to components simplifying service and maintenance.

Henrob Die Changer

Boosts process flexibility and lowers cost with fewer tools for more joints

More processes performed at one station

The correct die is automatically chosen for each joint without anyone entering an automated cell. The dies are in poka-yoke packaging, preventing errors. Broken dies are detected, disposed, and exchanged automatically with a transfer time for exchanging a die at only 4.5 seconds.

Henrob Die Check Camera

Eliminates concern of using worn dies to ensure quality joint

Check die conditions during the riveting process

The die inspection camera gives you the ability to confirm viability of dies vital to your joining process. Used between cycles, this 0.5sec check gives you assurance the die will be secure the next time you use the setting equipment. The camera can be mounted on the fill station or be on an independent stand.
