Overview for Briv Solution

  1. Low Installed Cost -- Up to thirty fasteners per minute (sixty with automated tools) can be set without any specialized labor.
  2. Reduced Labor -- The speed of placement can free operators to conduct tasks other than mechanical fastening.
  3. Versatility -- Speed fasteners are available in many types, sizes, and materials to meet the requirements of the most demanding applications - from automotive to electronic. Additionally, the Speed Fastening system permits "fine tuning," as the mandrel configuration can be altered to meet differing hole tolerances.
  4. Reliability -- Speed fasteners can permanently join applications and can withstand severe vibration and environmental conditions.
