1.450-600 COLLAR BOARDS PER HOUR: Production output for real EUR pallet collar lines, with a single operator.
2. 2-IN-1 DRILL + IMPLANT: Drill the hinge holes and drop rivets into holes sequentially.
3.STANDARD EUR COLLAR SPEC: 50 mm hole spacing, board thickness 19-22 mm, width 195-205 mm, length 540-1,200 mm — complies EUR pallet collar standards directly.
4. SIEMENS PLC + CNC-STYLE POSITIONING: The 5-drill array is positioned and cycled under Siemens PLC control for repeatable, spec-true output.
5.MULTI-VOLTAGE COMPATIBLE: Standard 380V/50Hz, with 220V / 415V / 480V configurable at order — fits European, Asian and Australian power grids.
6. MATCHED WITH SF4051: SF4020 drilling, rivet insertion the rivets; SF4051 automatic riveting. Together they form a compact drilling, rivet insertion, riveting — the "1+1" configuration used by many HICAS collar customers.

SF4020 is the drilling +rivet insertion machine.
- SF4020 — drills the 5-hole array and drops hollow rivets into holes (this machine, 450-600 pcs/h)
- SF4051 — Riveting for hinge fastening (paired machine)
Matched to form the "1+1" configuration. This compact, cost-effective in-house pallet collar riveting unit cuts costs while boosting productivity and saves 1–2 operators.





Q: What does the SF4020 do?
A: It drills 5 hinge holes and drops hollow rivets into holes on EUR pallet collar boards — a 2-in-1 drilling + rivet insertion cycle, all on one machine.
Q: How fast is it?
A: 450-600 boards per hour, with a single operator.
Q: Does it fix (clinch) the rivets too?
A: No — SF4020 insert the rivets into the holes. The riveting step will be done by the matched SF4051 machine, forming a compact "1+1" riveting Unit.
Q: What's the board sizes does it accept?
A: Length 540-1,200 mm, width 195-205 mm, thickness 19-22 mm — standard EUR pallet collar boards.
Q: What's the hole spacing does it drill?
A: 50 mm fixed hole spacing — the standard EUR pallet collar rivet-hole spec.
Q: What components does it use?
A: Siemens PLC, Schneider electrical parts, AirTac pneumatics and German IFM sensors — Top-tier world-class brands for convenient maintenance throughout Europe
Q: How does SF4020 fit with your other collar machines?
A: Matched with SF4051 for full 1+1 automatic riveting unit (drilling, rivet insertion, riveting).
Q: What voltage does it use?
A: Standard 380V/50Hz 3-phase, with 220V / 415V / 480V available as an order option.
Q: What is the delivery time?
A: About 40 days from confirmed order.
Q: What payment terms do you accept?
