The BÖLLHOFF recommended installation is the “pull method”.
RIVKLE
®

1 - Pressure setting methods
The “pressure method” consists of: Spin on , Insert , Upset and Spin off cycles.
1.1 Stroke setting method
The operator adjusts the stroke limit on the setting tool in accordance with the values shown in the RIVKLE
®
catalogue tables.
The setting tool applies the maximum force and automatically stops when the preset stroke is reached (mechanical
stop).
Advantages: Fast and simple process
Ideal for assemblies with no variation in sheet thickness
Well adapted for M3 Aluminum
1.2 Pressure setting method
The operator adjust the force in accordance with the value shown in the RIVKLE
®
catalogues tables.
The setting tool adjusts the required force which insures the correct setting quality whatever the thickness of the support.
This setting principle is particularly well suited to workpieces with variable thickness (plastic parts, various layers…).
Advantages: Optimised setting into panels with thickness variations
Doesn't damage the RIVKLE
®
in case of double setting.
Permits quality control (force indicator…)
Optimized mandrel life
Can also set different types of RIVKLE
®
with one tool and one single setup
