Robotic Rivet Nut Installation

Sherex® by PEM® utilizes MDS robotic installation systems bring the precision and repeatability of automated rivet nut installation to flexible manufacturing environments where traditional fixed automation is not practical. Compatible with leading industrial robot platforms, MDS robotic toolheads enable rivet nut installation to be integrated as a fully automated process step within a robotic cell or collaborative robot workstation.

Robotic installation is particularly effective in automotive body-in-white assembly, large structural components, and any application where the fastener installation envelope requires a multi-axis approach.

Key Capabilities

Compatible with major industrial robot platforms (FANUC, KUKA, ABB, and others)
Multi-axis installation capability for complex or large component geometries
Programmable installation parameters stored within robot programme
Process monitoring integrated into robot control architecture
Supports multi-size rivet nut installation within a single robotic cell with tool change
Suitable for collaborative robot (cobot) integration in flexible assembly environments

Integration and Engineering

Sherex® by PEM® and MDS provide complete integration engineering support, including toolhead design and mounting, robot programme development, process parameter setup, and commissioning. Ongoing support and maintenance programmes are available to protect system uptime and performance throughout the product lifecycle.
