Further technical key highlights are the new die changer, the new magazine feed as well as the new RIVSET feeder with simple feed- ing technology. The new die changer is suited for up to 8 dies. Die changing takes less than 6 seconds. The optional automatic 100% die recognition improves production reliability. Nothing compares to the new magazine feed. Rivet sequences of the same rivet diameter and up to eight different rivet lengths are pro- cessed. Partial loading and buffers are avail- able. A die change takes less than 4 seconds and is executed during non-productive cycle times. Plug & play For modern production systems, produc- tion planning and control are also of great importance for defining and optimising manufacturing processes. Such require- ments have also given new impulse to Böllhoff as an expert in self-pierce riveting technology. In cooperation with their custom- ers, they elaborate new concepts, such as a software-based workflow to plan and handle the procurement of process devices. Trans- parent and project-specific data and informa- tion are thus guaranteed. Another example is an intelligent delivery concept based on the modular design of Böllhoff components. Time-critical machine components are sep- arated from non-time-critical components. Those are two concepts that are very useful contributions to a flexible and equally effi- cient production and procurement planning. Innovative industries need innovative partners Böllhoff also offer a service package includ- ing the work of a specialised maintenance team for optimum maintenance of the pro- cess machines. The team provides significant support for smooth and trouble-free produc- tion. As you are used to with Böllhoff, fasteners and joining tools for self-pierce riveting come from a single source. Ideal condi- tions to continue to stand out as a solution specialist for innovative industries in the future. ■ Böllhoff Group www.boellhoff.com Website eMail Böllhoff Group info@boellhoff.com RIVSET die changer – up to eight dies For prototyping, small series production and spare parts management Unternehmen & Trends  73
