57 In full accordance with the 360° Joining Technology, Böllhoff also realises a consistent system approach with SPREDLOC: On request, customers can obtain the respective setting tool complete with their order. The fasteners are installed using tried-and-tested RIVKLE setting tools — ranging from manual setting tools to fully automatic systems. RIVKLE Automation E offers a high-performance automation solution for demanding large-scale applications. With its new drive concept, it combines performance and efficiency. It is robust and economical and offers reliable process monitoring through the new web-based HMI software. Low energy consumption and easy maintenance contribute to reduced operating costs in the long term. At the same time, the high repeatability for every setting process leads to results with high process reliability. The key advantages of the system include a high production output at consistently perfect setting quality, an oil-free technology with reduced maintenance and a lower TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) as well as precise force control for constant process control. As of today, the first projects are emerging, particularly in the field of lightweight structures for automotive and commercial vehicle applications. However, there is also great potential in the industrial sector. The main reasons for this are, above all, the simple processing and low overall installation effort. “With SPREDLOC, we have developed a solution which specifically addresses the requirements of modern lightweight applications. In combination with RIVKLE Automation E, we offer our customers not only a high-performance fastener, but also the matching processing technology for economic series applications with high process reliability,” emphasises Michael Stumpf, Head of Product Management Thread Technology at Böllhoff. www.boellhoff.com RIVKLE® Automation E Efficient and reliable electric setting system for RIVKLE blind rivet nuts and studs www.boellhoff.com/video/rivkle-automation-e More information SPREDLOC® Precision threads in modern lightweight structures — efficient expansion anchoring with one-sided accessibility www.boellhoff.com/video/spredloc
