Forcecheck+ analyser measures the peak force and force profile at key points during an aluminium riveting cycle. Both the timing of the force and it peak value can be assessed. This information can then be used to correctly adjust the riveting guns. The measurement is conducted by a transducer placed in the anvil of the rivet gun.

 

Forcecheck+ is a development of the Squeeze Analyser used by all leading auto manufacturers for resistance welding. The move by some manufacturers such as Jaguar, Landrover and Audi toward aluminium monococh designs has lead to a preference for riveting, rather than more expensive aluminium welding. In response to this requirement, Diverse have designed an instrument dedicated to the calibration of the riveting guns.

 

Correct setting of the riveting pressure is essential in order to get the best compromise between production speed, quality of rivet and tool wear. Forcecheck+ is recommended for routine quality checks as part of any quality control procedure and following servicing of the riveting equipment.
