Self Pierce type Riveting System is a process used to join two or more layers of material without a predrilled or punched hole by driving a rivet through the top layers of material and upsetting the rivet in the lower layer without piercing the layer to form a durable joint. The Riveting System is an ideal process for joining sheet materials providing a watertight joint. The Riveting System is installed with a servo-driven tool enabling control of the rivet-setting process for uncompromised repeatability. The Self Pierce type Riveting System provides process-monitoring capabilities to enable increased productivity and quality.
