Rivet feeding and positioning: The machine is equipped with an automated rivet feeder that picks up, orients, and positions the rivets with precision at the designated rivet locations on the workpiece. Clamping and aligning: The machine has a clamping mechanism that securely holds the workpiece in place and aligns it correctly for the riveting process. Riveting operation: Once the rivet is properly positioned, the machine uses a set of automated tools, such as a pneumatic or hydraulic riveting head, to deform the rivet and form a tight, secure connection between the workpiece components.
