Ideal for outdoor or overhead working areas, as well as jobs where speed, reliability and power are required, the new BT-18N battery operated riveting tool for blind rivet nuts is suitable for a wide range of applications.
With a pulling force of 18,000N, and a capacity to set nuts from M3 to M10, the BT-18N riveter from BRALO S.A features great speed, high durability and reliability, as well as easy maintenance, with a brushless motor and 18V lithium ion battery. Easily programmable and easy to maintain, the BT-18N also comes equipped with easily interchangeable M3 to M10 nosepieces and mandrels.
To enable suitability for a wide range of applications, BT-18N can be adjusted under two parameters. The first, stroke regulation or ‘S’ mode, offers 10 programmable memories for stroke regulation. When working in ‘S’ mode, the riveting machine uses its full pull force, but limits its stroke to the programmed stroke, making it an ideal working mode for in-line production of an application that remains unchanged, for example when the same nut will be riveted on the same material with the same thickness. This not only allows flexibility in the application, but also ensures the rivet nut is optimally positioned every time.
The second parameter is pull force regulation or ‘P’ mode, which also features 10 memories for its regulation. When working in ‘P’ mode, the amount of force used by the tool to rivet the nut is regulated – ideal when the same model of nut is used, but the thickness of the base material is not always the same. Working in this mode, the BT-18N uses a quality control system of the riveting process and warns with an acoustic signal if the nut has not been riveted properly, either by incorrect adjustment, or because the nut is not correctly supported on the base material.
In addition, BT-18N features automatic threading and unscrewing, as well as an auto unscrewing button to avoid jamming. The tool also has a counter that shows the number of nuts placed, which can be reset to zero when the user needs to restart the count.
