This detailed product description presents the high-precision C13 type closing die belonging to the Wieländer+Schill XSeries professional riveting technology, specifically designed for the professional and reliable fastening of Self Piercing Rivets (SPR). This component is crucial during body repair work, ensuring factory-quality, durable joints.
The C13 closing die is an essential accessory for Wieländer+Schill professional riveting systems. Self-piercing riveting (SPR) is a modern joining technology without heat treatment, excellently suited for connecting metal sheets of various thicknesses and materials, especially high-strength steels and aluminum alloys in the automotive industry.
This die ensures the precise shaping and closing of the rivet head on the opposite side of the rivet, thereby creating a mechanically strong, verifiable, and durable joint. The precisely shaped die guarantees that the load is optimally distributed during the riveting process, avoiding damage to the sheets or premature fatigue of the joint.

The C13 closing die is specifically for the Ford DZ0902025 HR1R1,5 type of self-piercing rivets. The marking „HR1R1,5” likely refers to the rivet size and type (e.g., diameter and head height) for which the die profile is a perfect fit.
Main Features:
Precise Geometry: The design of the die ensures the optimal deformation of the rivet head, which is essential for the mechanical strength of the joint.
Durability: Made from high-quality, wear-resistant material that withstands high repetitive loads and the friction encountered during the riveting process.
Simple Integration: Compatible with Wieländer+Schill XSeries riveting machines and appropriate rivet holders, ensuring quick and trouble-free exchange between different repair tasks.
OEM Compliance: Based on the Ford ID (DZ0902025 HR1R1,5), this component guarantees that the repair meets the manufacturer's specifications, which is critically important for maintaining the structural integrity of modern vehicles.
The use of self-piercing rivets (SPR) offers several advantages over traditional welding or bolting, especially when joining new generation High-Strength Steels (HSS) and mixed-material structures (e.g., aluminum and steel):
Heat Effect Avoidance: Since the joining is done mechanically, no heat input is required. This prevents heat-induced structural changes in the materials, such as a decrease in strength or increased corrosion susceptibility in the joint zone.
Mixed Material Joining: Enables direct, reliable connection between different materials (e.g., aluminum and steel), which is essential for vehicle lightweighting strategies.
Fast and Repeatable Process: Riveting is faster than welding, and with the correct tooling (like the C13 closing die), the joint quality is extremely consistent.
Verifiability: Successful riveting can be visually verified (based on the shape of the closing head), and force data measured during the process can be recorded for comprehensive quality assurance.
Wieländer+Schill is committed to manufacturing the highest quality tools, which is evidenced by the following certifications:
ISO 9001: Ensures the continuous improvement of quality management systems and increases customer satisfaction.
ISO 14001: Guarantee regarding environmental considerations during manufacturing processes.
This C13 closing tool is designed for professional body repair shops where precision, reliability, and compliance with OEM standards are fundamental requirements. The dimensions of 18 x 18 x 27.5 mm ensure the tool fits optimally into the corresponding riveting head.
