process times – for some applications < 1.5 s. These systems are hard to outperform, since a total preventive maintenance concept (TPM) is also provided. Further technical key highlights are the new die changer, the new magazine feed as well as the new RIVSET feeder with simple feeding 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 availa- ble. A die change takes less than 4 seconds and is executed during non-productive cycle times. Plug & play 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-piercing riveting technology. In coopera- tion with their customers, they elaborate new concepts, such as a software-based workflow to plan and handle the procurement of pro- cess devices. Transparent and project-specific data and information are thus guaranteed. An- other example is an intelligent delivery con- cept based on the modular design of Böllhoff components. Time-critical machine compo- nents are separated from non-time-critical components. Those are two concepts that are very useful contributions to a flexible and equally efficient 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 signifi- cant support for smooth and trouble-free production. As you are used to with Böllhoff, fasteners and joining tools for self-piercing riveting come from a single source. Ideal conditions to con- tinue to stand out as a solution specialist for innovative industries in the future. n Böllhoff Group info@boellhoff.com Böllhoff Group www.boellhoff.com Website RIVSET die changer – up to eight dies For prototyping, small series production and spare parts management eMail Automotive Division Bourns Sensors GmbH Eschenstrasse 5 D-82024 Taufkirchen, Germany Phone: +49 89 80 90 90 0 Fax: +49 89 80 90 90 109 Bourns, Inc. 1660 N.
