High quality, the reliability of GESIPA® connectors and the innovative and high-quality riveting tools have made GESIPA® a valued partner to the trade and industry. Application-specific solutions is the special area of expertise of GESIPA® Blindniettechnik GmbH. Also, the new blind rivet family SolarGrip®, based on our years of experience with the PolyGrip® rivet, is a product of the GESIPA® application technology think tank. TheGerman Institute for Building Technology in Berlin issued the general construction approvalZ-14.1-537for the new solar connector. GESIPA® therefore has the only officially approved blind rivet in the solar module sector which can be used for connecting aluminium parts to each other or with the subconstructions made of aluminium, steel or wood. The SolarGrip® was developed to cover as many solar applications as possible. The DIBt approval in compliance with Z-14.1-537 now facilitates the use of the (almost) all-rounder blind rivet by structural engineers and architects. Thenew SolarGrip® is ideal for use on trapezoidal sheet roofs and the special SolarSeal coating protectsthe rivet point from water and therefore corrosion. The option of also riveting foam rubber seals with the rivet optimises the sealing options.Summarising, the SolarGrip® from GESIPA® stands out thanks to the large clip cover plate, a wide head surface, high bearing stress, a compact head and easy processing with all GESIPA® setting tools. The battery-operated blind rivet tool PowerBird® Solar by GESIPA® is ideal for assembly work on trapezoidal sheet roofs because it does not need a power socket or compressed air connection. Equipped with an extended steel sleeve and a setting force of 13,000 N, the PowerBird® Solar is ideally suited for riveting in low places that are difficult to reach. The wok and process security can be further optimised with an optional spring loaded trigger system.The application technology team are on hand to offer you competent support.
