Boosting efficiency with the Auto-Q riveter
When it comes to manufacturing, speed is everything. Slow processes and human error can grind production lines to a halt and cause major problems across the manufacturing process. But equipment like the Auto-Q automatic rivet feeding system from Qonnect, and available from Zygology, is changing this.
The Auto-Q automatic rivet feeding system eliminates manual rivet handling, boosting throughput, reducing downtime and ensuring consistent, high-quality riveting. It supports 3.0-4.8 mm diameter rivets in all materials, offering excellent flexibility for modern production lines.
Quick-release nose assemblies, easy maintenance access and automatic stem ejection ensure clean, continuous operation. A PLC-controlled feed delivers the next rivet instantly, keeping operators working at maximum efficiency.
Each Auto-Q system includes on-site training, readily available consumables and comprehensive service support to minimise production interruptions.
The Auto-Q automatic rivet system streamlines high-speed production. Its bowl feeder holds up to 1,000 rivets and delivers them to the nose tip at rates of 45+ per minute using specially adapted tools. The ergonomic tool is fast, reliable and PLC-controlled to feed the next rivet almost instantly after installation. Spent stems are automatically ejected and collected for easy disposal or recycling.
The Auto-Q virtually eliminates manual rivet handling, significantly reducing downtime.
