To guarantee optimum setting processes, the new range of RIVKLE® NEO B battery powered tools from Böllhoff – NEO B107 and NEO B109 – feature electro-hydraulic technology combining performance and reliability making them more compact and easier to handle, as well as being suitable for mass production use.
The RIVKLE® brand of tools represents Böllhoff blind rivet nuts and stud technology and is a versatile solution for the creation of an internal thread or external thread on thin-walled components. These solutions require access to the application from one side only and allow two or more plates of different materials to be joined together. B107 and B109 give users full control over the setting process to validate the conformity of each installation.
Capable of setting 32 RIVKLE® rivet nuts per minute, the optimised design of the two tools offer compact tool dimensions along with two distributed motors for better tool balance. The redesigned anti-pinch trigger ensures force is not exceeded during application, with the tools also featuring an automatic unscrewing button and a comfortable ergonomic handle. Compatible with Böllhoff mandrels and anvils, the mandrel screwing axis has been optimised for ultimate repeatability. The digital display gives users an easy overview of battery charge levels, error codes, as well as access to setting forces and parameters.
In addition, the NEO B109 can be connected to a computer and managed using the NEOSOFT application. NEOSOFT helps users in their day-to-day work enabling them to control and customise control processes with the ergonomic interface, with options to change various parameters per application.
The alarm section enables users to view the history of errors that have occurred on the tool, such as tool stroke, motor, lack of oil or an error with the battery, regardless if these errors were acknowledged or not.
NEOSOFT also features a ‘quick settings’ option, a viewwhich allows direct selection of a pre-registered programme and the option of locking the tool to a defined programme. With the ability to create and modify up to 10 programmes, users can observe the variations in all applications.
