The angled peen technology allows a smaller orbital forming machine to permanently assemble products such as automotive door striker or hood striker assemblies.

Through proper care and maintenance, it is possible to keep your orbital head running as smoothly as the day your purchased it and with Orbitform's lubed-for-life orbital heads you know the performance will stay optimal for years.

Orbitform Peen Tools Fasten Your Assemblies

Orbital heads come with a peen tool. The peen is the tool that actually contacts the rivet being upset or the post being formed. There are a wide variety of standard peens used with Orbitfom orbital heads to help enhance your assembly process. Orbitform peen tools are designed for the specific purpose your forming or assembly application requires. Some peens ensure a certain aesthetic appearance while others flare or crimp the work piece involved. Orbitform offers many peen configurations including: conical form peen, flat form peen, captured form peen, crown form peen, flare form peen, eyelet form peen, ring stake form peen, and crimping form peen.

Orbitform Orbital Head Options

• Standard orbital heads with 6 degree peen angle for minimum required forming force
• Long reach orbital heads with 3 degree to 6 degree peen angles for difficult to reach rivets or posts
• Gold series orbital heads with upgraded, heavy duty sealed bearings when you are forming harder materials
• C-Frame orbital heads for difficult to reach rivets where an overhang or other obstruction prevents a standard, straight down riveting process
• Multi-point orbital heads for forming several rivets at once with a custom orbital head equipped with several peens
• Multi-spindle orbital heads for forming several rivets at once with a custom orbital head equipped with several spindles, each spindle with a peen
• Radial riveting heads for certain applications where the part being formed is fragile, small, or otherwise more conducive to the radial forming process

Please contact Orbitform so we can help you choose the proper peen and orbital head combination for your forming, flaring, or assembly project.

Orbitform's HL series of standard orbital heads are equipped with a 4 degree forming angle peen tool to accommodate extended reach orbital riveting and orbital forming.
