Wieländer+Schill Die Set D15 + D16 Punching & Shaping 6 mm | 700230

Product Description

The Wieländer+Schill Die Set D15 + D16 (SKU: 700230) is a premium, OEM-grade auto body repair accessory engineered for use with advanced pneumatic-hydraulic riveting systems, such as the WS XPress 800, XPress 1000 SC, and the VAS 843 007 Premium Booster. In modern collision repair, joining high-strength steel and aluminum panels requires absolute precision. This specific two-piece die set is dedicated to the punching and shaping process, serving as a critical preparatory step before successfully setting 6.0 mm solid rivets (SR) or countersunk solid rivets (CSR).

By utilizing the D15 punch and D16 die together within a C-arm setup, technicians can simultaneously punch a perfectly clean 6mm hole while dimpling (shaping) the surrounding sheet metal. This controlled deformation allows the subsequent 6.0 mm countersunk solid rivet to sit completely flush with the panel surface, restoring the vehicle to strict factory structural tolerances and ensuring a flawless, invisible repair after paint preparation.

Key Features

• Prep for 6.0 mm Solid Rivets: Specifically engineered to perform the initial punching and metal shaping required before installing 6.0 mm diameter countersunk solid rivets (CSR).

• Two-Piece Component Set: Includes the D15 Shaping Punch (Item no: 700826) designed for countersunk profiles, and the corresponding D16 Punching & Shaping Die (Item no: 700809) to receive the punch and support the metal.

• Simultaneous Action: Allows the technician to cleanly punch the hole and form the flush-mount dimple in a single, hydraulically-powered action without warping the surrounding panel.

• Wieländer+Schill Ecosystem: Integrates flawlessly into standard WS C-arms and is a standard component in comprehensive OEM-approved toolkits, including the Tool Box Basic (932070) and Audi RS-05 sets.

• High-Strength Durability: Machined from hardened European steel to withstand the immense pressures generated by pneumatic-hydraulic boosters during repetitive panel repairs.

Ideal For

• High-End Collision Centers: Performing structural panel replacements on modern aluminum-bodied or mixed-material vehicles where traditional welding is prohibited by the manufacturer.

• Certified OEM Repair Technicians: Executing repairs that strictly require flush-mounted 6.0 mm solid rivets to maintain the original crash-safety ratings of European brands like Audi, BMW, and Volkswagen.

• Tool Kit Maintenance: Serving as a direct OEM replacement part for technicians who need to replace worn, damaged, or lost dies from their primary WS Tool Boxes.

Common Questions

Q: What riveting systems is this die set compatible with?
A: This die set is designed exclusively for Wieländer+Schill's professional XSeries riveting technology, most notably the XPress 800, XPress 1000 SC, and the OEM-branded systems like the VAS 843 007 Premium Booster used by Volkswagen and Audi.

Q: What is the difference between the D15 and the D16 parts?
A: The D15 (700826) is the active male shaping punch designed to create the actual countersunk profile into the metal. The D16 (700809) is the receiving female die that supports the rear of the panel and provides an exit path for the punched metal slug. They must be aligned and used together to properly dimple the metal.

Q: Does this set actually install the rivet?
A: No, this is strictly a preparatory punching and shaping die set. It only punches the 6mm hole and forms the countersink dimple. To actually compress and lock the solid rivet into place afterward, you must swap these out for the corresponding setting/closing dies (such as the D17 + D17 Solid Rivets set) on your C-arm.
