The Robo-Rivet tool is a compact and fully automated blind fastening solution that seamlessly integrates the joining process into the manufacturing line. All high end Robo-Rivet control processes operate in the background and are signaled via inputs from the robot and/or facility control; therefore, programming of the Robo-Rivet tool within the system control architecture is not required.
The blind rivet process has traditionally been accomplished through manual drilling and fastening, where each rivet is placed into a pre-punched or pre-drilled hole prior to being secured in place with a manual tool. The Robo-Rivet blind fastening system removes both the need of a preexisting hole and intervention by an operator to manually fasten the rivet. Both operations are now combined into a fully automated process, providing a highly repeatable and efficient fastening solution.
