Limitations exist with effectively controlling a pneumatic or hydraulic riveter, not to mention the high operating costs and environmental impact associated with these traditional processes. In the past, it has been expensive, difficult, or impossible to obtain precision and speed when using traditional pneumatics or hydraulics.
BalTec ELECTRIC Riveting unit addresses these issues by using a 100% electrically powered unit. You now have full positional control due to servo-driven rotary and linear motion allowing for real-time monitoring and process control of linear force, speed and position. Another advantage is process data collection and remote access to data, parameters and programs making it Industry 4.0 ready. Associated operating costs of a pneumatic/hydraulic unit have now been eliminated as well as making the BalTec ELECTRIC unit an environmentally friendly device since air and hydraulic fluid is non-existent. Due to the drive screw and bearing design, the ELECTRIC unit has a greater power density than pneumatic where space may be a premium in automation work cell design.
The traditional pneumatic riveting machine may suffice on some joint forming applications, but if your specific application demands a very short cycle time, or high level of control while maximizing throughput and assuring quality, then the BalTec ELECTRIC Riveting unit may be the right choice. With our vast knowledge and experience in joint forming technology, contact BalTec to assist in determining if the BalTec ELECTRIC Riveter is the right option.
