Henrob Unity self-pierce riveting and stud systems
High joint quality with rapid assembly time for advanced and lightweight materials
Henrob tape loose feed rivet and stud setting systems
Used for high-volume production in automated environments, our self-pierce rivet setting system offers a reliable, robust, and cost-effective method of automatically feeding fasteners. These systems are ideal for body-in-white production, such as car body frames, pillars, doors, and hoods, and for add-ons, including sunroofs.
Our self-piercing studs have a high degree of mechanical strength that can withstand impact, torque, and vibrations. When your application needs to hold up to a heavy load, with the added benefit of minimal electrical current resistance, Henrob self-piercing studs are perfect for grounding.
Tape feed, loose feed and stud system components
Control Panel
Optional capacitor module recovers electrical energy during the riveting cycle.
Energy reclamation option available
Suitable for standard system layouts and multi-communication protocols, the control panel offers a solution that fits your production line. The control panel includes a touch screen HMI, process monitoring, system diagnosis and maintenance scheduling to keep your processes running smoothly.
Data driven services
Monitor your performance
Monitor up to 20 control panels
ALTURE
Atlas Copco ALTURE Data Driven Services is the best tool in the plant's toolbox. With instant access to machine performance data, maintenance status and traceability, it’s the Industry 4.0 platform for predictive preventative maintenance to keep shops running at maximum productivity.
ToolsNet 8 Reports and Analysis Modules
Atlas Copco ToolsNet 8 is the best source of intel for the Joining Engineer.
The whole line’s quality performance, trends, and changes to system settings can be monitored from a desk, everything needed to keep in close contact with the most important facet of the system – the joint on the vehicle.
Henrob Die Check Camera
Eliminates concern of using worn dies to ensure quality joint
Check die conditions during the riveting process
The die check camera reliably and automatically detects broken dies to ensure your riveting assembly continues producing quality joints. The image sensor takes a snapshot of the upsetting die currently in use and compares its integrity to a programmed good condition.
Compatible with the Unity2 platform as well as most previous platforms, it allows flexibility and forward functionality of your current and future SPR systems.
Henrob Die Changer
Boosts process flexibility and lowers cost with fewer tools for more joints
More processes performed at one station
The automatic die changer has been developed to allow a rivet setting system to change to an alternative die to improve the riveting process. Controlled by the robot, the die changer is not layout specific and can be added to any feed system or cell design.
Features
- Servo riveting technology
- Real-time process monitoring
- Super-fast cycle times
- 100% duty cycle
- High technical availability
Options
- Data-driven service functionality
- Multi-die changing
- Die camera inspection
- Tool changing functionality

Use with these applications
Loose feed and stud systems
Our loose feed systems are ideal for high-volume rivet applications where the economics are attractive for continuous feed. Direct feed and magazine feed systems are designed to meet high levels of reliability using built-in intelligence for fault identification and self-recovery. The use of quick-change parts minimizes maintenance and downtime.
Magazine rivet feed
- Magazine: Fast rivet feed times / suitable for full range of typical automotive rivets / 4 bar air supply servo setter
- Energy efficient riveting: 7Wh per rivet achievable
- Higher productivity: energy-based system = more rivets per cycle
- Dependable joint process monitoring: Encoder control for consistent, repeatable joint quality
- Fewer preventive maintenance cycle count: 4M cycles in between PM
- Setting force: Provides a setting force up to 85k
Continuous and error-proof rivet supply
Continuous and error-proof rivet supply
Compact Bulk Feeder (CBF)
- The Compact Bulk Feeder (CBF) is an entry level bulk rivet feeder, reducing the required initial customer investment for loose feeding, while also reducing floor space requirements.
- Available with an optional external barcode reader for additional process protection, the capacity of the CBF is approximately 3 bags – for example about 6,000 shorter 5mm rivets.
- The CBF carries a smart PLC locally which means any controller, cell, or robot can instruct the unit to feed a rivet.
- The standard rivet feeder includes a rivet length checker to prevent the wrong size rivets from being used in your application.
Continuous and error-proof rivet supply
Poka-Yoke Bulk Rivet Feeder
- With a capacity of up to 80,000 rivets, bulk rivet feeders include a bowl, hopper, and RFID-tagged poka-yoke bottle to provide error-proof continuous production.
- The Unity2 PY bulk rivet feeder includes PLC controls for flexibility as well as being AGV compatible for future “dark” factories.
Loose feed magazine fill station
Fewer riveting systems required
Multi-rivet feeding is realized with the magazine fill station covering the full range of typical automotive rivets allowing for flexibility. Productivity is increased and fewer rivet setting systems are required to apply the same range of rivets. Improved design features allow quick and simple access to components simplifying service and maintenance.
Tape feed system option
Tape feed poka-yoke and re-usable spool options
Poka-yoke and re-usable spool options
- Cardboard or plastic recyclable rivet spools hold 4,000 to 10,000 rivets depending on rivet size.
- Optional poka-yoke solution where the center hub is configured with a mechanical key to prevent incorrect rivets from being loaded to a tool.
- Re-usable plastic spools are available for applications where a return loop permits economic recycling and refill.
