BRAKE SHOE RIVETING MACHINE

From the computer screen...
To reality! 
Break Shoe Riveting Machine by GWI Engineering
 
Features:
 
Fast – around 18 second cycle not including operator load (depends on part and # of rows).  With proper material staging you should be able to produce 800-1,000 assemblies per 8 hour shift.
 
Portable – the entire machine is self-contained.  After you unhook the main air and electrical lines the machine can be easily moved utilizing built in fork pockets located in 2 directions on the base.
 
Ergonomic and operator friendly
- Servo controls require less handling of parts than traditional rivet machines
- Automatic unload - pivoting unload conveyor doesn’t take away from machine cycle time
- Automatic changeover to different brake shoes using timing belts and servo controls
- Light curtains prevent operators from entering machine during cycle
 
Operator touch screen panel
- Large and easy to use menus through push buttons
- Operators can easily add endless part options
- Rework mode if you only need to replace one row of rivets
- Manual mode allow you to feed rivets to individual heads if required
 
Rivet Heads
- Capable of rolling (4) rivets at once utilizing a self-equalizing motion ensuring a high quality and consistent rivet
- The core load fixture (center wheel) aligns to the middle of the break shoe every time you load a part.  Location is maintained throughout the cycle utilizing a pneumatic lock
- C-Frames are controlled in pair’s (inner and outer) via timing belt, symmetrically and simultaneously to any rivet spacing within the design range of the machine
- C-Frames are counterbalanced so unnecessary weight is not placed on the part
- Monitor force of the press at on the anvil side of the rivet via load cells
- 20hp hydraulic unit allow you to control how tight you would like the clinch
 
 
Rivet Feeding
- Bowl contained in enclosure prevents unnecessary debris from entering
- Enclosure is lined with sound proofing material reducing noise levels
- Feed 1, 2 or 4 rivets, as required per the part or rework position
 
Maintenance
- Maintenance position provides easy access to tooling
- Store days’ worth of rivets in the hopper
- Shim adjustment in critical areas of machine
