Riveting machines allow the riveting of all types of rivets, but they are especially characterized by the riveting of so-called Rivet-Pierce Rivets, which are increasingly in use today by major automakers (AUDI, BMW, JAGUAR, FERRARI, FORD, RENAULT, TESLA, etc … ).
Self-piercing riveting is a cold joining process used to join two or more sheets of the same or different materials together. It takes place by feeding a rivet into the first set of sheets and then recutting it with a die into the lower sheet without perforating it.
