71. 05/12/2010 31 Terms: Holder- Stripper Punch Sheets to be joined Knob Die

72. 05/12/2010 32 The stripper locks the sheets against the die

73. 05/12/2010 33 The punch is forming the sheets against the die S

74. 05/12/2010 34 A 360 degree flange is formed and the joint is fixed

75. 05/12/2010 35 The joint diameter is determined by the punch. Standard sizes are: 3.0mm (0.12”) 3.8mm (0.15”) 4.6mm (0.18”) 5.5mm (0.22”) 6.4mm (0.25”) 7.6mm (0.30”) The die depth is according to the material thickness

76. 05/12/2010 36 The depth (AD) in the die is determined by the sheet thickness to be joined

162. Solid Rivet Development Henrob have worked closely with Kurb Konus and developed a riveting system that fits with the standard SPR tool head envelop. The systems have been in production since the end of 2008 at Daimler/Magna. Expensive Solution x3 Cost of SPR Strictly Confidential - Henrob

163. High Strength Steel Riveting Henrob Limited has been developing a new range of Self Pierce Rivets which can be used to join High Strength Steels (HSS) to HSS. Plus HSS to aluminium, these products are now ready for production release. Henrob has developed a new range of rivets for joining high strength steels, heavy gauge steels and thick steel and aluminium applications. The rivets were developed to facilitate the joining of Dual Phase (DP) and TRIP steels in the range 600 to 1000 Mpa using the existing Henrob setting equipment. The high strength rivets are available in the length range 5 to 14mm, with Pan and Countersink Head Styles.
