Are your rivet nuts installed properly? Are you using the correct rivet nut for your grip range?
Let FreeSet® detect and avoid inconsistences as a result of human-error, maintenance, or set-up.
When it comes to fastening solutions, rivet nuts are indispensable in modern manufacturing. However, one persistent challenge remains: How can you ensure that each rivet nut is set correctly? Installation issues, such as insufficient or excessive bulging, stripped threads, or rivet nuts spinning after being set, can lead to costly rework and compromise the integrity of your assembly.
This is where our cutting-edge FreeSet® technology steps in, offering the precision and reliability needed to ensure every rivet nut is installed correctly the first time.
Why Choose Rivet Nuts?
Rivet nuts are internally threaded fasteners that are installed from one side of the material. When set, they expand to fill the hole, creating a robust connection with multiple threads available for securely fastening bolts. This makes them an excellent solution for attaching components to thin materials. Rivet nuts are utilized across a wide range of applications, from automotive to marine, and beyond.
Traditionally, rivet nuts are set using hand tools or air-powered tools. These methods often rely on an operator’s judgment or preset air pressure, neither of which guarantees a consistently good installation. This is where FreeSet® technology revolutionizes the process.
Introducing FreeSet® Technology
Our FreeSet® technology ensures every installation is precise, reliable, and consistent. Unlike traditional tools that depend on manual inputs and air pressure, FreeSet® utilizes advanced technology to monitor and control the installation in real-time. This eliminates guesswork and reduces the risk of improper installations.
Key Features of FreeSet®
- Process Monitoring:
- Integrated load cells and stroke sensors ensure accurate measurement of installation force, providing real-time feedback to the operator.
- Pass/Fail Feedback:
- Receive immediate feedback through an onboard OLED screen or via external systems through WiFi. Installation data is stored for continuous quality control, ensuring that every rivet nut is set to the highest standards.
- WiFi Connectivity:
- Optional 2.4/5.0 GHz WiFi enables communication with external controllers, facilitating seamless integration into Poka-Yoke systems. This connectivity ensures that your installation process is both efficient and effective.
- Barcode Reader:
- An optional barcode reader allows for quick setup, application parameter changes, and serial number matching to streamline your workflow. This feature further enhances the ease of use and reliability of the FreeSet® system.
With FreeSet®, you can achieve a new level of precision and reliability in your rivet nut installations, making it the ideal tool for any manufacturing setting.
