161 Böllhoff Group  www.boellhoff.com Website What does that mean exactly? With a minimum number of base frames, the new C-frame modular kit guarantees a maxi- mum number of setting tool variants. Thanks to its bionic basic structure, it furthermore improves the joint quality because opening is almost parallel. Another plus: it is a real lightweight in the field of setting tools. It almost goes without saying that Böllhoff as a fastening technology expert not only examines the demand for lightweight construction with respect to joining special lightweight components, but also with re- spect toweight optimisation for the peripheral equipment of the joining process. The result is rather impressive. Reduced to the essential, the new feeder al- lows the combination of Single, Twin and Tri- ple feed variants with only one extension kit. Trained personnel can easily implement such technology on site. Innovative industries need innovative partners For modern production systems, production planning and control are also of great impor- tance for defining and optimising manufactur- ing processes. Such requirements have also given new impulse to Böllhoff as an expert in self-pierce riveting technology. In cooperation with our customers, we elaborate new con- cepts, such as a software-based workflow to plan and handle the procurement of process devices. Transparent and project-specific data and information are thus guaranteed. Another example is an intelligent delivery concept based on the modular design of Böllhoff com- ponents. Time-critical machine components are separated from non-time-critical compo- nents. Those are only two concepts that are very useful contributions to a flexible and equally efficient production and procurement planning. An additional service package including the service of a specialised maintenance team for optimum maintenance of the process ma- chines completes our range of services. The team provides significant support for smooth and trouble-free production. That’s Böllhoff: fasteners and joining tools for self-pierce riveting come from a single source – perfect conditions to continue to stand out as a solution specialist for innovative industries in the future.
