Articulating Roller Forming
The new ELECTRIC EA30 is the world's first fully servo-driven articulating roller forming machine with three axis.
Thanks to its fully servo-driven process control, workpieces are formed with three axis, one in vertical motion downwards, one in a rotary motion, and one in an articulating (in-out) motion of the rollers. The process control software is individually programmable, allowing the machine to perform 3D profiles.
What makes the ELECTRIC EA30 so unique is the servo-controlled articulating motion, which delivers significantly higher precision and control than conventional solutions that require manual adjustment of a mechanical stop.
Last but not least, an attractive feature of the ELECTRIC EA30 is its slim design, as all three servo motors are aligned within the unit. Therefore the EA30 is well suited for integration into automated production lines with limited space or as part of a stand-alone work cell where frequent changeover of nests and programs may be necessary.
Bench Top Riveting Machines
Pedestal Riveting Machines
With Rotary Indexing Table
Double Riveting Machines
Electric Bench Top Forming Machines
Electric table riveting machines are offered as complete workstations for all three joining processes. Depending on the required force, the size of the machines differ.
Electric with C-Frame
These electric models feature a welded steel C-frame that is slim and space-efficient, making them perfect for seamless system integration. The preferred cold forming method can be chosen as needed.
Electric Workcells
These electric servoriveting machines come as fully assembled workstations with HPPi process control included. Their safety guards feature either light curtains or lift-style doors.
Electric Customised Versions
Custom setups are available with rotary indexing tables or linear-transfer work cells. Optional features include automated part ejection and pre-inspection using OK/NOK checks or light sensors to verify correct part positioning.
Orbital Machines with Process Control
These tabletop orbital cold forming riveting machines are ideal for standalone workstations. A protective system surrounding the process head ensures safe, CE-compliant operation. They deliver efficiency and safety while maintaining BalTec’s signature precision.
Orbital Machines with Time Based Control
These tabletop orbital cold forming riveting machines offer the same CE-compliant benefits. They feature time-based control packages and are equipped with two-hand operation controls.
Orbital Machines for Integrators
These packages are especially bundled for integrators, who have the full construction of their production line, but are in need of reliable, precise and longlasting riveting machines including the process control, in this case the HPP.
Customised Orbital Machines
The Orbital Line can be customised with numerous upgrade options upon request. BalTec’s modular design ensures maximum flexibility, and each orbital riveting machine can be fitted with an enclosure and sliding table according to customer requirements.
CNC Cold Forming Machines
Our CNC machines and automated work cells set new benchmarks for quality, durability, and efficiency. Built for continuous operation in demanding production environments, they combine cutting-edge technology with robust construction to deliver reliable results.
The modular design of our CNC riveting machines enables flexible production processes, allowing functions to be combined and expanded to meet individual customer requirements.
The ELECTRIC RX—a fully electric CNC radial riveting machine with a rotary indexing table—ushers in a new era of precision forming. It is the first CNC machine to offer complete numerical control across all axes, providing true CNC precision, not just monitoring. With an optional tool changer that accommodates up to four forming tools, the ELECTRIC RX can complete four forming operations in a single cycle, enhancing production speed and efficiency.
Control & Monitoring
Time Based Control with RC-30
Designed for use with BalTec radial riveting machines, this modular control system is also compatible with single- or double-acting pneumatic riveting machines, hydraulic machines, NHE-E systems, rotary table machines, or setups with a sliding table.
The RC-30 control features a touchscreen, providing direct access to all information and functions.
Forming Tools
Multiple Riveting
Rivet Base Detection
Sliding Tables
Downholders
Downholders secure components in position, making them ideal for setting, compressing, or inserting parts prior to riveting or cold forming.
BalTec provides two types of downholders—equipped with either disc springs or coil springs—depending on the required force, which should be determined through testing. These downholders are also compatible with MRX multi-riveting heads.
