Hot upset riveting is a permanent part assembly process that combines electrical current with pressure and time to compress and expand a boss or rivet to a desired diameter and shape. Generally, hot upset riveting is applied when there are special circumstances such as hardened materials being formed, a requirement to accomplish maximum hole fill, or when it is critical to provide resistance to vibration related fatigue.

Orbitform designs and manufactures static roller forming machines to help improve the quality, productivity, consistency, and control of your assembly process. Static roller forming machines built by Orbitform range from a simple roller forming head mounted to an Orbitform powerhead (or bench machine) and progress to complete automated assembly systems with special features including; material handling, error proofing, automated quality checks, and other advanced assembly options.

Download basic 3D CAD models of Orbitform powerheads, bench machines, orbital heads, and impact riveting machines to help you lay out assembly and fastening system concepts. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Orbitforms R-125 radial bench machine is designed for small work piece radial riveting. The bench machine, comprised of a radial forming modular powerhead, radial head with developed peen, adjustable column, base with t-slots for easy fixture mounting, and complete controls, is commonly used to assemble electrical components, medical devices, computer hardware, small hand tools and other small scale riveted assemblies. Orbitforms application engineers outline the required radial head and radial peen to conduct the riveting application and, if the customer desires, Orbitform can design and build custom machine actuation, a safety system, a fixturing method, an error proofing process, andor other expert assembly features associated with radial riveting machines and automatic assembly equipment.

Orbitform designs and manufactures articulating roller forming machines to help improve the quality, productivity, consistency, and control of your assembly process. The articulating roller forming process allows parts to be formed from the side when there is an obstruction preventing direct vertical engagement. The articulating function allows the roller head to advance vertically around the part and then allows the rollers to contract toward the center to apply the roller forming process to crimp, flare, groove, roll, or seal the outside diameter of the work piece.

Orbitforms M-125 powerhead is perfectly suited for small work piece orbital riveting and orbital cold forming assembly procedures. The heavy duty and compact design of the orbital forming powerhead is commonly used to assemble electrical components, medical devices, computer hardware, small hand tools and other small scale riveted assemblies. Orbitforms application engineers define the appropriate machine and tooling setup so each orbital riveting powerhead performs as required and the powerheads lube-for-life design with lifetime bearings and sealed lubrication keeps the riveting powerhead running for years.

Orbitforms B-125 bench machine is designed for small work piece orbital riveting and radial riveting. The bench machine, comprised of an orbital forming modular powerhead, orbital head with developed peen, adjustable column, base with t-slots for easy fixture mounting, and complete controls, is commonly used to assemble electrical components, medical devices, computer hardware, small hand tools and other small scale riveted assemblies. Orbitforms application engineers outline the required orbital head and orbital peen to conduct the riveting application and, if the customer desires, Orbitform can design and build custom machine actuation, a safety system, a fixturing method, an error proofing process, andor other expert assembly features associated with orbital riveting machines and automatic assembly equipment.

The Milford Model 56 impact riveter is a pneumatically driven modular riveting head, tooled to automatically feed and set one (1) rivet per cycle. This unit is specifically designed for integration with automated assembly equipment, and is well suited for applications requiring single or multiple riveters. The space saving wedge design permits grouping of two or more units as close as 1.0" (25.4 mm) on a common base. The standard unit is supplied without controls, but controls may be supplied as a complete turn-key system if you select the optional bench-top base and controls package. The impact riveting units are commonly used with automotive window molding assemblies, instrument panels, appliance components, electrical devices, brake shoes, and other light duty riveting processes. The cushion squeezing riveting action lends itself to applications such as clinching of rivets through plastic, ceramic and other relatively brittle materials.

The Orbitform anti-rotate devices are mounted on multi-point forming heads and on some orbital heads when the specific orientation of forming is important to the assembly application or when it is important to prevent reduce galling or rubbing between the peen tool and the rivet.
