Controlriv GEN3 is the new process control system developed by Rivit and 100% made in Italy. Thanks to constant R&D activities, this system complements previous versions with new and enhanced features.
Controlriv GEN3 is the industrial electronic device that verifies in real time the correct fastening system, designed for industrial fields such as automotive, heavy carpentry, industrial automation, various assemblies and handling systems.
Thanks to its features, Controlriv GEN3 can verify the correct fastening of the rivet - rivet nuts - lockbolt, through the control of each Rivit tool to which it is connected. In this way, any errors can be promptly reported, saving time and costs due to incorrect fastening.
The new product can be used in two modes: stand-alone or in a cluster (a network of interconnected devices).
Key features include:
- robust and compact mechanics
- the physical separation of the pneumatic and electronic parts, for quick and easy installation and maintenance
- real-time measurement of the compressed air pressure supplied to the tool, with programmable tolerance range and error signaling in case of out-of-range
- real-time monitoring of the fixing process with an alert system via notifications and colour coding
- data collection and storage, and configurability from remote control
- interfacing to Controlriv GEN3 can be done in two ways: via Ethernet/Profinet or via WiFi/Bluetooth.
The new control system designed by Rivit includes a practical front panel with a graphic display, an illuminated on/off button, six buttons for the main functions and a USB port. On the rear side of the machine, there is a panel with one USB port, compressed air input/output, four opto-isolated inputs/three outputs and power supply, all of which can be connected via terminal blocks.
The international debut of Controlriv GEN3 will be at EuroBLECH, the exhibition dedicated to sheet metal working that will take place in Hanover, Germany from 22 to 25 October. Rivit will be present at Hall 26 - Stand N79.
