In a recent success story, a prominent measurement instrument manufacturer contacted Orbitform, seeking a solution to their assembly challenges. They were grappling with inconsistent forms and parts that frequently failed during their torque tests while utilizing a traditional press for assembly. Eager to enhance their production process, they decided to explore the possibilities of switching from press forming to orbital riveting.

During this visit, we conducted a thorough assessment of their application and gathered sample parts for testing. Leveraging our state-of-the-art Solutions Lab, we assembled a series of parts for the manufacturer to test. Our primary objective was to ensure that the resulting finished form possessed the necessary retention qualities to pass their stringent torque test. By assembling sample parts, we were also able to determine the precise force required to form these parts and identify the appropriately sized powerhead required.


A high level of agility and efficiency characterized the collaboration between Orbitform and the manufacturer. Once the manufacturer confirmed that the samples successfully passed their rigorous torque test, we wasted no time fulfilling their needs. Thanks to our strategic inventory management approach, we promptly shipped them an orbital riveting powerhead and a standard column within two weeks.

This case study is a testament to Orbitform's commitment to delivering innovative solutions and exceeding our clients' expectations. By seamlessly transitioning from press operations to orbital riveting, our client resolved their longstanding quality and consistency issues and improved their overall production efficiency. This success story exemplifies how Orbitform's expertise and dedication to meeting our client's needs can lead to transformative outcomes in the manufacturing industry.
