SARIV expands thread rolling capability 03 June 2019

Since the end of 2018 SARIV Srl has enriched its production capabilities with the addition of two new thread rolling machines, taking its total to nine.

The grooving in blind rivets – that is the threaded surface in rivet bodies and mandrels – provides higher anchoring capacity and better mechanical performances. Among Sariv products, this essential characteristic is critical in multigrip, grooved and structural rivets. In particular, Sariv structural blind rivets are becoming an increasingly important part of the volume of items purchased by its customers. Their grooved mandrel plays an active role in the application by remaining locked inside the rivet body.

Using thread rolling means the grooving of the mandrel is the result of a deformation of the material, not its removal. Sariv performs the grooving both on semi-finished products such as rivet bodies or mandrels, and on finished rivets.

One of the new machines is for high production volumes; the other is for small sizes, allowing faster set-up and therefore faster changes suitable for smaller production volumes.

Committed to 4.0 technology implementation for a long time, Sariv has ensured the new rolling machines communicate with the company network through its MES (Manufacturing Execution System), which guarantees full traceability and constant monitoring of every single production step.
