Introducing Resistance Spot Rivet (RSR) - the culmination of years of research and development to create an ideal assembly system that can join a wide variety of advanced material combinations. By leveraging your RSW experience, skills, and infrastructure, the addition of our rivet delivery system provides you with a highly versatile assembly machine to support ever increasing lightweighting goals.

  • Maintain and leverage RSW capabilities and expertise
  • Seamlessly transition between RSW and RSR joining within the workpiece
  • Address a variety of mixed material joints in piloted and pre-piloted applications
  • Benefit from a single-step operation - No pre-inserting of element
  • Work within the bounds of existing shop constraints

 

RSR Material Joining Spectrum

 

RSR provides similar assembly times to spot welding, while adding strength in multi-material joints and flexibility in material family, grade and thickness.Developed in collaboration with automotive industry leaders, the team of automated welding specialists at CenterLine (Windsor) Limited and Howmet Fastening Systems have made RSR a remarkable assembly solution.
