For more than 30 years GESIPA has provided industry with the most reliable automatic feed blind riveting systems available. The GAV 7000 series offers the state-of-the-art in automated blind rivet technology. Cycle rates up to 45 rivets per minute are possible due to the GAV’s unique through-the-nose rivet feed. This important feature eliminates awkward external rivet presenter mechanisms, increasing both safety and reliability. Housed within the GAV’s console are the Electronic Control Unit, Hydraulic Power Transmitter and Vibratory Rivet Feeder. The GAV tool head is connected to the console via a 12 foot umbilical hose. Two types of tool heads are available, Pistol or In-line Robotic. The GAV’s turn key technology makes this system the first choice of integrators developing automated blind riveting processes for the industrial user.
