GESIPA FireBird® Pro – setting new standards 01 February 2018

The days of setting blind rivet nuts whilst studying long tables and carrying out repeated testing are long gone states GESIPA. The new FireBird® Pro provides a convincing and innovative setting tool that allows users to make the necessary adjustments in a very easy way.

GESIPA now provides the necessary table, in credit card size, with every product, giving a great indicator based on the  size and material of the installation. The user then simply enters the information into the tool and they can start using it. For setting different nuts, up to 10 programs can be stored. 

The new battery powered FireBird® Pro has a setting force of as much as 20,000N, which means that rivet nuts up to M8 in steel and M6 in stainless steel are no problem at all for the new setting tool.

The best possible user comfort and efficient operation are guaranteed by the automatic drill-on and drill-off function, by a setting speed that is nearly double that of other tools. As well as the convenient option to keep spare mandrels and nosepieces directly in the tool. The quick change systems allows to change them in no time. 

In addition, the brushless motor of the FireBird® Pro shows almost no wear and tear, which means that is has a long service life and is efficient in use.
