Riveted steel framing offers distinct advantages in strength, speed, and precision when paired with Scottsdale’s advanced roll forming technology. In the factory, pneumatic rivet guns are a key part of the steel framing assembly process, using specially engineered 5mm steel rivets that provide superior durability and holding power compared to conventional aluminum rivets or screws. Once light-gauge steel profiles are produced by the roll former, operators assemble them horizontally on sawhorses, following the design directly output from Scottsdale’s system and ScotRF software. The rivet gun’s unique capability to fasten both top and bottom surfaces simultaneously eliminates the need to flip panels during assembly, significantly improving workflow efficiency. Rivets not only offer better shear strength but also produce cleaner, more consistent joints, minimizing long-term maintenance and increasing structural integrity. Once complete, panels are moved to storage and prepared for site delivery, ensuring a streamlined, high-quality production cycle from roll forming machine to installation.
