Riveting Machine Fixtures — Multi Position Rivet Tooling

About the Riveting Machine Fixtures

Riveting fixtures for components carrying several rivets, where each position must be located and the part indexed between them. The fixture holds the relationship between rivet positions that the operator otherwise has to judge.

Key Features

Multiple located rivet positions within one fixture
Indexing or positive stops between positions
Relationship between rivet positions held by the tooling
Support beneath each rivet position to prevent deflection
Built to the component drawing with changeover considered

Ideal For / Applications

Components with several rivets in a defined pattern
Brake shoe and friction lining assemblies
Linkages and levers with controlled hole centres
Hinge assemblies with multiple pivots
Parts where rivet-to-rivet distance is an inspected dimension

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the distance between rivets held?

By indexing the part against positive stops within the fixture, so the relationship is set by the tooling rather than by the operator repositioning the work each time.

Is this better than a multi-head machine?

It is the lower cost route. A multi-head machine sets the rivets simultaneously and is faster; an indexed fixture sets them in sequence on a single head. Volume and cycle time decide which is justified.

Can it be retrofitted to our machine?

Generally yes, given the machine table and tool holder details plus the component drawing.
