Intelligent upgrade of rivet machines, industrial Internet empowers remote operations and maintenance
In May 2026, leading clinching machine makers launched new intelligent clinching systems integrating IoT monitoring, AI process optimization, and digital twin capabilities, enabling full-process data traceability and remote maintenance. Traditional equipment has fixed parameters, poor fault predictability, and no process traceability. The new system uses multi-sensors to collect real-time pressure, displacement, and temperature data, with AI algorithms adjusting parameters adaptively, raising yield to 99.8%. Bluetooth/5G connectivity allows remote monitoring and diagnosis via APP, cutting maintenance time by 50%.
Deployed in 3C electronics and appliance sheet metal lines, a communication cabinet line saw rework hours drop by 81% and output rise by 18%. As Industry 4.0 advances, intelligent clinching will become standard in smart manufacturing.
Recently, domestic customized riveting equipment manufacturer Dunchuan released the Technical Specification for Rivetless Clinching Machines, filling the standard gap in China and providing standardized joining solutions for bus ducts, elevator manufacturing, and HVAC ducts. Traditional welding has poor adaptability to dissimilar steel-aluminum materials and causes easy deformation; conventional rivets tend to loosen under vibration with high defect rates. Dunchuan’s rivetless clinching machine adopts microcomputer control and industrial brushless motors, integrated with Bluetooth communication, achieving ±1% pressure control accuracy and strong rivetless joining. Tests show 40% higher efficiency and defect rates below 1%. Industry experts state the standard will drive the sector from non-standard extensive operations to standardized intelligence, supporting domestic high-end manufacturing.
