Manufacturer · Bhosari, Pune
Pneumatic Riveting Machine Manufacturer in Pune, India
VR Automation manufactures pneumatic riveting machines and air-operated riveting systems at our Bhosari, Pune facility — bench and tabletop machines, orbital and impact heads, rivet squeezers, air riveting presses and fully automatic pneumatic riveters.
An air-operated riveting machine runs on the compressed air you already have. There is no hydraulic power pack to install, power, heat or maintain, the cylinder returns quickly so cycle times are short, and setting force is repeatable stroke after stroke. For most light and medium riveting it is the most cost-effective machine on the floor.

How a Pneumatic Riveting Machine Works
Load
The component is located in a fixture built to your part, so the hole sits under the tool identically every cycle.
Trigger
The operator presses the foot switch, keeping both hands on the component.
Set
Air drives the ram and the rivet is set at the force chosen on the regulator — the same force every stroke.
Return
The cylinder returns quickly and the machine is ready again, which is what keeps air machines fast on repetitive work.
Pneumatic Riveting Machine Types We Manufacture
Pneumatic Riveting Machine
The core air-operated machine. Shop compressed air drives the ram, delivering the same setting force on every stroke without an electrical or hydraulic power pack.
Pneumatic Orbital Riveting Machine
Air operation combined with orbital head forming — low forming force and a smooth, burnished head, for brittle, thin and plastic-to-metal assemblies.
Pneumatic Impact Riveting Machine
Faster, higher-energy setting for solid rivets where a progressive forming action is not required.
Bench & Tabletop Machines
Compact bench-type and tabletop air riveting machines for light assembly, prototype work and cells where floor space is tight.
Automatic Pneumatic Riveters
Auto-feed, dual-head and indexed air-operated machines for volume production — the operator loads and unloads while the machine feeds and sets.
Pneumatic Rivet Squeezer
Squeeze-type air riveting for compression setting where access allows a C-frame or yoke around the joint.
Air Riveting Press
Press-style air machines for riveting combined with pressing, staking or forming in the same stroke.
Hollow & Tubular Rivet Machines
Tooling configured for hollow, tubular and semi-tubular rivets as well as solid rivets.
Hydro-Pneumatic Machines
Where air force alone is marginal, an air-over-oil intensifier delivers far higher force from the same air line — still with no hydraulic power pack.
Pneumatic vs Hydraulic Riveting — Which to Choose
| Pneumatic (air) | Hydro-Pneumatic | Hydraulic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power source | Shop compressed air | Air over oil intensifier | Hydraulic power pack |
| Relative force | Light to medium | High | Highest |
| Cycle speed | Fastest | Fast | Slower |
| Installation | Connect to air line | Connect to air line | Power pack required |
| Maintenance | Lowest — air prep only | Low | Highest — oil, filters, heat |
| Running cost | Lowest | Low | Higher |
| Best for | Most light/medium riveting | Force without a power pack | Large rivets, thick sections |
If air force is marginal for your joint, a hydro-pneumatic machine is usually the better answer than a full hydraulic press — you keep the simple installation and low maintenance while getting substantially more force.
Our Pneumatic Riveting Machine Range
9 air-operated and hydro-pneumatic machines from our range. Prices are indicative and ex-works — tooling and the component fixture are quoted against your part.
Technical Features & Options
Foot-switch operation and regulator pressure adjustment are standard. The remaining items can be specified when we build to your requirement — tell us what you need at enquiry stage and we will include them in the configuration and the quote.
Foot Switch Operation
Foot-pedal control is standard, leaving both of the operator’s hands free to hold and locate the component — which matters on parts that need positioning rather than dropping into a nest.
Adjustable Pressure
Setting force is adjusted at the air regulator, so the same machine can be tuned between soft forming and firm setting without changing tooling.
Fast Cycle Times
Air cylinders return quickly and there is no oil to circulate, so pneumatic machines cycle faster than hydraulic equivalents on light to medium work.
Low Running Cost
No hydraulic power pack to run, heat or maintain, and no consumable beyond the rivets themselves. It runs on the compressed air you already have.
Safety Guarding
Two-hand control, fixed guarding or light curtains can be specified according to the component and your plant’s safety assessment.
PLC & Multi-Head Options
PLC-controlled cycles, stroke monitoring and multi-head or dual-head arrangements can be built where the process needs to be locked down or the cycle halved.
Applications
Brake Shoe & Lining Riveting
Pneumatic brake shoe riveting, where consistent setting force per rivet is directly a safety characteristic.
Air Cylinder & Component Assembly
Pneumatic cylinder end caps, linkages and sub-assemblies.
Sheet Metal Riveting
Sheet metal pneumatic riveting for panels, brackets, enclosures and fabricated assemblies.
Electronics & Electrical
Contacts, terminals and small precision assemblies where shock loading would damage the part.
Appliance & Consumer Goods
High-volume repetitive riveting on light assemblies.
Hardware & Fittings
Hinges, latches, castors and pivots that must stay captive while moving freely.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pneumatic riveting machine?
An air-operated riveting machine that uses shop compressed air to drive the setting ram. It applies the same force on every stroke, which is why it replaces hammer and manual riveting — the joint stops depending on operator strength or fatigue late in a shift.
How do I choose a pneumatic riveting machine for manufacturing?
Work from the joint, not the machine. Rivet diameter, material and stack-up thickness set the force you need; the number of rivets per part and your volume set whether you need manual feed, auto-feed or multi-head; and access to the joint decides the frame type. Send your drawing and we will match a configuration.
Pneumatic or hydraulic — which riveting machine should I buy?
Pneumatic suits the majority of light and medium riveting: it cycles faster, costs less to run and has fewer parts to maintain. Move to hydraulic or hydro-pneumatic when rivet diameter or stack-up thickness needs force that air alone cannot supply.
Is the setting pressure adjustable?
Yes. Force is set at the air regulator, so one machine can be tuned across a range of rivet sizes and materials without changing the machine itself.
Does it come with a foot switch?
Yes — foot-pedal operation is standard, so the operator keeps both hands on the component. Two-hand control can be specified instead where the safety assessment requires it.
What is the price of a pneumatic riveting machine in India?
Our pneumatic range starts around ₹ 85,000 for a standard machine and runs to roughly ₹ 1,75,000 for hydro-pneumatic presses, with automatic and multi-head systems quoted individually. Prices are indicative and ex-works; tooling and the component fixture are quoted against your part.
Is a pneumatic riveting machine low maintenance?
It has few wearing parts and no hydraulic circuit to service. Routine maintenance is mainly air preparation — keeping the filter, regulator and lubricator in order — plus periodic tooling checks.
Can you build a custom pneumatic riveting machine?
Yes. Most of what we ship is built around a specific component. Send the drawing, material, rivet specification, joint positions and target cycle time and we will propose a configuration.
Do you supply automated pneumatic riveting lines?
Yes. Auto-feed machines, dual-head machines and indexed riveting SPMs are built in-house and can be integrated into an existing assembly line.
