DeWys Mfg. adds riveting capabilities

Metal fabricator DeWys Mfg. Inc. has added an Orbitform model B-310 orbital riveter to its facility in Marne, Mich. This gives the company additional permanent-fastening capabilities to complement PEM® and POP® rivets fastening.

The new orbital riveter uses cold forming to form rivets using 80 percent less force than an average press, says the company. It can form up to 0.840 in. dia. at 100-PSI input pressure and includes features such as an HS-310 orbital head with developed peen.

The machine allows the company to create articulating joints and high-quality hinge joints.
