About FMW Friedrich
Friedrich Maschinen- und Werkzeugbau GmbH (FMW Friedrich) is a family-owned company founded in 1948, headquartered in Remshalden near Stuttgart. The company develops and produces riveting machines, riveting units, CNC riveting machines, roller pressing machines, workstations and assembly systems for industrial joining technology. Core processes are radial orbital riveting, GBA orbital riveting, cold riveting/press riveting, joining, roller pressing and bushing technology; the radial orbital riveting technique patented in 1966 is considered one of the most efficient riveting processes. The portfolio is complemented by proprietary control software (Basic Control PT23, Nietcontrol 3, CNC control), a testing laboratory for sample riveting, and services such as maintenance, spare parts sales, field service and retrofit. With a high level of in-house manufacturing depth in its own machining operations, FMW Friedrich supplies customers from the automotive industry, the fittings/hardware industry, electrical engineering as well as mechanical and tool engineering – internationally via a worldwide partner network.

Processes & Technologies
Radial orbital riveting
Riveting punch describes a hypocycloid movement; suitable for solid rivets, non-round rivets and small peel riveting.
GBA orbital riveting
Circulating riveting punch for hollow rivets, cupping and large peel riveting with good part fixation.
Cold riveting / press riveting
Deformation without rotation for riveting with solid rivets and high shear stress.
Joining
Axial pressing-in of components, e.g. bearings into bearing seats, dowel pins, self-clipping nuts.
Roller pressing
Rolling bearings into housings with requirements for strength, tightness and chip-free results.
Bushing technology
Pressing-in and flanging of plain bearing bushings with final calibration.
Riveting power stage
Pre-selectable riveting force ranges (e.g. 0.7/1.3/1.9 kN) cover different applications with one machine.
