CNC duct riveting cell A CNC controlled automatic riveting work cell with a knee type design drill machine that has sixty-inch throat depth with four positions on the upper head. This machine can apply sixteen pounds of upset force. This machine is equipped with dual drill spindles, one for carrying out drilling and other for deburring. It was developed for the fabrication of tubular assemblies, which are fed into the throat of the machine over an eight-inch square lower knee. The CNC controlled four axis positioning system presents the part to the machine that carries out the riveting.
CNC riveting machines with stationary machine table These CNC machines act as stand-alone workstations for heavy and bigger workpieces. They are simple in design and require work holding fixtures only, so the clamping and component query devices are much more affordable.
CNC riveting machines with Indexing Tables These special purpose CNC riveting machines have different sizes of indexing tables that be composed of different
coordinate axes and riveting machines. These machines have different versions for the particular application and are configured accordingly. The coordinate system has linear units and recirculating ball screws, and an index table that is electrically operated with a brake motor. It has two to four fixed indexing stations, and the index table are NC flexible rotary indexing tables which are actuated by two hand controls or by a pedal switch. The machine has an
automatic tool changer.
CNC riveting machines with transfer system These CNC riveting machines are made for use in manufacturing lines. The fixtures are coded and interfaces are customized to make the connection of several CNC riveting machines and linking them with other manufacturing systems, making it possible to obtain a high degree of automation.
Multiple axes CNC riveting cell This is the latest technological development in automated fastening. This technology is versatile and can be used for riveting of high curvature fuselage panels to low curvature wing panels, bulkheads, floor etc. The tooling changeover is minimized thus part throughput is maximized. == Advantages ==
