Riveting

Press-fitting/riveting are joining techniques that are of central importance in modern manufacturing. These are two tried and tested processes that enable strong, durable connections. The processes are known for their efficiency and reliability.

Press-fitting/riveting: Which techniques do we offer?

Press-fitting:
The term press-fitting refers to a mechanical joining technique in which a connecting element, such as a nut or a bolt, is pressed into a component with high force. This enables a permanent, strong connection without the need for additional materials or heat.
Advantages: high precision, no heat influence, quick and easy application, cost-efficient

Riveting:
Riveting is a traditional method that has also proved its worth in modern manufacturing. Several components are connected by a rivet, which is firmly fixed by deformation.
Advantages: durable and strong connections, versatile materials, no thermal stress, easy inspection possible

Which machines are available for press-fitting/riveting?

In our riveting production area, our 10-man team installs various rivets very flexibly in two shifts. Around 80% of our orders pass through the riveting/press-fitting department and, in addition to rivets, also receive press-fitting elements such as nuts, bolts, bushes, spacers or earthing lugs. Thanks to these numerous small parts, we facilitate the subsequent assembly and completion of end devices.

Whether after laser, bending or powdering – after each production step sheet metal parts or assemblies can be joined with the necessary press-fit elements and rivets.

Depending on the nature of the part or the sheet thickness, one of the 18 automatic or manual riveting machines is used. Four automatic feeders are available on one machine, while two automatic and two manual feeders are possible simultaneously on another. This means that up to four different press-fit parts can be installed one after the other.

Which process is best suited for your order?

Press-fit is ideal for applications that require efficiency and high precision and where no additional heat needs to be introduced.

Riveting is particularly suitable for extremely resilient connections and offers a tried and tested method that has proven itself in many applications.
