This detailed product description presents the C1 type closing die made for Wieländer+Schill's professional riveting technology, specifically developed for the application of Flow Form Rivets (FFR). This precision tool is an essential component of the XSeries professional riveting systems, ensuring reliable and durable joints in automotive and other precision metalworking applications.
The C1 closing die is part of the Wieländer+Schill XSeries product line, representing the highest level of riveting technology. This tool plays a key role in the final phase of riveting with Flow Form Rivets (FFR) technology, forming the closing (hammer head). FFR technology is an excellent alternative to traditional welding, especially when joining materials of different thicknesses and types where minimizing heat effect is critical.
The C1 tool guarantees that the rivet head fits perfectly to the specified 6.0 mm diameter, ensuring maximum mechanical strength and leak-tightness.
Precise Design: The tool is manufactured with strict tolerances to guarantee the formation of the optimal closing head for Flow Form Rivets (FFR).
Compatibility: Specifically designed for 6.0 mm diameter FFR rivets.
Durability: Made from high-quality materials that resist high repetitive loads and wear, ensuring a long service life for the tool.
System Integration: Fits perfectly with Wieländer+Schill XSeries riveting machines and tool holders.
Quality Assurance: The product complies with strict industrial quality standards, including the ISO 9001 quality management system.

The C1 closing die (Item number: 700256) is a fundamental component of the Flow Form Rivet (FFR) technology. During FFR riveting, the rivet shank is formed under pressure between the tool and the counter-tool (e.g., an anvil or another tool). The C1 tool is responsible for forming the rivet head, which is created on the surface of the workpiece.
Its geometry optimized for the 6.0 mm diameter ensures that during the flow forming of the rivet material, the tool imparts precisely the shape to the head that guarantees the optimal mechanical properties of the joint. The tool dimensions (18 x 18 x 27.8 mm) are compact, allowing for quick tool changes and efficient storage in tool holders.
The material and surface treatment of the tool are resistant to continuous mechanical stress, which is essential in high-volume manufacturing environments where tool life directly affects production costs and downtime frequency.
Wieländer+Schill is committed to the highest quality. This tool is also manufactured under the company's strict quality management system, which includes ISO 9001 certification. This certification ensures that manufacturing processes, from design to final product inspection, consistently meet international standards. Furthermore, ISO 14001 certification attests to environmentally conscious manufacturing practices.
By using the C1 closing die, users can be confident that the rivet joint complies with the latest OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) recommendations and body repair regulations.
This tool is designed for professional body repair shops and automotive manufacturers where the application of reliable, heat-effect-free joining technologies is essential.
