FAR’s new monitoring system for the riveting process

An increasing number of industrial companies using blind riveting require process validation to ensure correct application and compliance of the joint. To meet this need, FAR, an Italy-based specialist in automation and fastening solutions, has developed the FASTENING CONTROL SC8 monitoring system, which was presented at MECSPE Bologna from March 5-7.

Productivity is always under control with FASTENING CONTROL SC8

FAR’s new control system analyzes pressure/displacement curves, defining precise criteria to verify proper riveting execution. The software compares real-time process data with an initial sample (also known as master), ensuring compliance throughout operations.

FASTENING CONTROL SC8 allows simultaneous management of multiple riveting tools equipped with FAR boosters using a single centralized software. During the process, the system carefully monitors the riveting sequence on each component, accurately detecting any anomalies or non-conformities at the exact location where they occur.

FASTENING CONTROL SC8: a range of benefits

With real-time communication via Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi, the system starts monitoring the riveting process from the initial creation phase. It automatically records and stores acquired data and signals in a dedicated database, making it easy to integrate into the customer’s IT infrastructure.

Additionally, the system provides extra information, such as status and service indicators, enabling precise monitoring of operational safety and improving tool maintenance planning. This optimizes production quality management while enhancing workflow efficiency.



This innovative monitoring system expands FAR’s well-established product range of blind rivets, threaded inserts, and riveting tools, further strengthening the company's offering.
