A firm grip
Rivit brought half a century of history and experience to Milan for the LAMIERA sheetmetal exhibition this May . In addition to a comprehensive catalogue of fasteners and tools dedicated to the roofing , construction and industrial sectors , Rivit also offers a system for monitoring and verifying fasteners that is based on digital control . It is designed for companies of any size i . e . from artisans to Industry- 4.0 .
ControlRiv , the control system designed by the Emilia-based Rivit company , is designed to eliminate errors in fastening operations . The company describes ControlRiv as a “ 4.0 fastening system .” At the LAMIERA exhibition , visitors were able to test the system and call on Rivit ’ s customised consultancy services . One of the exhibition ’ s themes was ‘ The Fastener Industry ’.
“ The system consists of a Primary module , which acts as the system ’ s Master , and a series of Replica modules , so that up to 12 riveting tools can be connected and managed simultaneously . This brings numerous advantages to the production line , which is therefore more precise and repetitive . The ControlRiv makes it possible to identify the optimum curve for blind rivets and rivet nut fastening . In case of errors it stops all operations , allowing the operator to intervene to correct a fastener that is not in line with the required standard . This also helps to avoid costs related to any non-conformity ,” explained the manufacturer . n
