Wieländer+Schill Die Set D18 + D19 Rivet Extraction Ø 3-2 mm | 700238
Product Description
The Wieländer+Schill Die Set D18 + D19 (SKU: 700238) is a specialized, professional-grade extraction accessory engineered for use with industry-leading pneumatic-hydraulic riveting systems, such as the WS XPress 800, XPress 1000 SC, and OEM-approved variants like the VAS systems. In high-level collision repair, properly separating factory-joined aluminum or mixed-material panels is just as critical as welding or riveting them back together. This dedicated two-piece die set allows technicians to safely and efficiently press out existing small-diameter rivets without relying on messy, inaccurate drill bits.
When replacing a damaged panel or sectioning a structural component, technicians must break the original factory bonds without warping, tearing, or elongating the holes in the underlying host panel that will be reused. By utilizing the D18 extraction punch and the D19 receiving die within a standard C-arm setup, the immense hydraulic pressure of the WS tool smoothly pushes the old rivet out cold. This preserves the structural integrity of the base metal, resulting in a cleaner workspace and a perfectly prepped surface for the new replacement rivets.
Key Features
-
Drill-Free Extraction: Utilizes sheer hydraulic pressure to cleanly push out old self-piercing rivets (SPRs) or solid rivets, eliminating the metal shavings and hole-elongation risks associated with manual drilling.
-
Two-Piece Component Set: Includes the D18 Extraction Punch (which acts as the high-strength pressing pin) and the corresponding D19 Receiving Die (a hollow support cup that catches the expelled rivet).
-
Precision Sizing (Ø 3-2 mm): Specifically calibrated for the safe extraction of smaller diameter (3.0 mm to 2.0 mm) automotive structural rivets.
-
Wieländer+Schill Ecosystem: Integrates flawlessly into standard WS C-arms and acts as a standard, modular component for the XPress riveting platform used by premium automotive brands worldwide.
-
High-Strength Durability: Machined from premium hardened European steel to withstand the extreme impact and compression forces required to break factory-set structural joints.
Ideal For
-
High-End Collision Centers: Performing panel teardowns and structural sectioning on aluminum-intensive vehicles (such as Audi, Jaguar, Land Rover, and Ford) that rely heavily on SPR and solid rivet construction.
-
Structural Technicians: Saving valuable time during the disassembly phase by pressing rivets out in seconds rather than carefully drilling them out one by one.
-
Tool Kit Maintenance: Serving as a direct OEM replacement part for technicians who have lost or worn out the extraction dies from their primary WS Tool Boxes.
Common Questions
Q: Does this set drill out the rivet?
A: No. This die set operates completely cold using the hydraulic pressure of your WS XPress tool. The D18 punch pin physically pushes the old rivet out through the back of the panel, dropping it into the hollow D19 receiving cup. This method is drastically faster and much safer for the host panel than using a drill bit.
Q: What are the specific roles of the D18 and D19 parts?
A: The D18 is the active male punch. It features a hardened, narrow pin designed to push against the center of the rivet. The D19 is the female receiving die. It acts as a hollow anvil that supports the back of the sheet metal to prevent it from bending while allowing the expelled rivet to pass through and drop out.
Q: Can I use this set to extract larger 5mm or 6mm rivets?
A: No. This specific die set is engineered for smaller diameter extractions (Ø 3 to 2 mm). Attempting to use a 2mm or 3mm punch pin to extract a massive 6mm rivet can result in the hardened pin snapping under pressure or the rivet mushrooming instead of ejecting. Always match the extraction punch size to the rivet you are removing.
