20170087621 · 2017-03-30 ·

The invention relates to a riveting tool for setting blind rivet nuts and/or blind rivet screws, comprising a drive piston which is able to be hydraulically adjusted from an initial position toward an end position and a drawing mandrel which is able to be brought releasably into operative connection with the drive piston and is able to be adjusted by the drive piston between a rivet receiving position and a setting position. In order to provide a riveting tool of the type mentioned in the introduction, uniform setting processes of rivets being able to be carried out thereby with a high degree of repeated accuracy, it is provided that the riveting tool for fixing the setting position of the drawing mandrel comprises a setting unit comprising a stroke limiting element which is able to be adjusted in the longitudinal axial direction of the drive piston and which is able to be brought into engagement with the drive piston.

CAPTIVE FASTENER QUICK-RELEASE END EFFECTOR

A system for swaging an end of a fastener includes a pneumatic swaging tool and a quick-release end effector configured to couple to the pneumatic swaging tool. The quick-release end effector includes a body, a clamping member, and a cam lock. The body of the quick-release end effector includes a plurality of stationary threads, and the clamping member of the quick-release end effector includes a plurality of moving threads. The cam lock of the quick-release end effector is configured to operate between an open position and a closed position. In the closed position, a locking edge of the cam lock causes threads of the fastener to be clamped between the moving threads of the clamping member and the stationary threads of the body, thereby securing the fastener during swaging operations by the pneumatic swaging tool.
