Electrical & Electronic Industry
In electrical and electronic manufacturing, riveted joints provide reliable fastening, dimensional accuracy, and long-term durability.
Riveting enables manufacturers to produce robust assemblies with tight tolerances while supporting automated high-volume production. Material strengthening during the forming process allows stable, lightweight designs even with thin materials. Components benefit from excellent surface quality, dimensional precision, and consistent performance throughout downstream assembly processes.
Compared with screws and other removable fasteners, riveted joints offer:
- Faster assembly cycles
- Higher process reliability
- Lower maintenance requirements
- Consistent fastening quality
- Improved production efficiency
BalTec solutions help electronics manufacturers produce durable and cost-effective products at scale.

Fine Mechanics & Watchmaking
In precision engineering and watchmaking, riveting technology plays a vital role in producing accurate, reliable, and space-saving assemblies.
BalTec's cold forming and riveting technologies enable the production of miniature components with exceptional dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and durability. Material hardening during the forming process increases strength and wear resistance while maintaining smooth surfaces, which is essential for moving watch components where friction must be minimized.
Riveting creates vibration-resistant connections that remain stable under constant movement. Gears, levers, balance wheel components, and similar parts are frequently riveted to ensure precise interaction.
Because no additional fasteners are required, riveting allows compact designs and efficient use of space within watch movements and precision assemblies.
Our joining solutions support manufacturers seeking exceptional accuracy, durability, and consistent quality in compact mechanical systems.

Medical Technology
Riveted joints play an important role in medical device manufacturing wherever secure, permanent, vibration-resistant connections and precision are required. They provide high mechanical strength without introducing heat into sensitive components, helping preserve material properties and dimensional accuracy.
Riveting enables the reliable assembly of small and delicate parts while maintaining smooth surfaces and tight tolerances. This is particularly important for surgical instruments that must withstand repeated use and sterilization cycles.
Common materials include stainless steel, copper, titanium, cobalt-chrome, gold, and platinum because of their strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.
With our expertise, we precisely form and join a wide range of materials tailored to specific medical applications.
