upper die

Upper Die

The Upper Die Assembly forms the core of the riveting process, combining high-grade tool steel construction with an integrated anti-pinch safety system linked directly to the hydraulic cylinder. Designed for precision and operator protection, it delivers consistent force for perfectly aligned, permanent joints while instantly halting if an obstruction is detected. This robust and safety-focused design ensures long-term reliability, minimizes downtime with quick-change compatibility, and maintains productivity without compromising on workplace safety.

Double-station lower die base

Double-station lower die base

Standard supply is a dual-station lower die assembly, combining a gooseneck (“elephant-trunk”) seat and a boat-shaped seat for versatile tooling support.

Quick Force Setting

Quick Force Setting

Rotate clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease. Built-in recommended pressure settings are provided; when using the J-type hook, the maximum pressure must not exceed 30 kN.
