In-house news

FAR S.r.l. has recently added some new articles and innovative fastening systems to its wide range of products.

Let’s start with some news about ALV-IN rivets, an exclusive FAR product with an aluminum rivet body and a zinc-plated steel nail. It is a product created to meet the specific needs of users of honeycomb panels of all types. In fact, the ALV-IN rivet has three main characteristics that make it suitable for this use, such as: large deformation to improve resistance to extraction; the aluminum rivet body is particularly suitable for installation on soft or fragile materials; reduced dimensions to avoid through holes in the panels, while maintaining the desired aesthetic characteristics intact.

Another recently introduced item is the ICT steel rivet nut with cylindrical head that has been designed to provide a threaded element on panels or sheets of soft or fragile material on which it would be impossible or not advantageous to directly make threaded holes. The particular and large deformation allows to significantly increase the resistance of the application without damaging the underlying material.

A new flagship item in FAR’s recent production, with high technological content, is an innovative device for controlling riveting processes for rivets and rivet nuts. This system includes an acquisition hardware and a software, the latter installable on a PC or server and accessible via a convenient web interface. This system can analyze the progress of riveting by comparing it with sample riveting and manages the progress of the processes, also allowing the results for each riveting to be recorded and the order times with related costs to be monitored. The data can then be exported and viewed by the end customer.

FAR will present these new products, in addition to the others of the range and to further innovations in the automatic riveting systems at the next LAMIERA trade fair, which will take place in Rho (MILAN) from 6^th to 9^th May 2025. Hall 13 stand B37.
