A method for setting up a riveter comprising an electrical drive which is configured to place a blind riveting element in a location hole. The riveter applies a tensile force to a tensile element of the blind riveting element during a rivet placement process so that the tensile element tears away from a remainder of the blind riveting element at a predetermined breaking point at an end of the placement process. The tensile force used to place the blind riveting element is defined by an adjustable maximum value which is determined during the setting up. The method includes performing the placement process with the blind riveting element of the type to be used, acquiring a progression of the tensile force during the placement process, determining at least one characteristic value from the progression, and fixing the adjustable maximum value as a function comprising the at least one characteristic value.

A method and device are provided for simplifying a flow-drill screwing process. Based on work performed during the process, a process variable E is formed. This variable is compared to analogously formed comparison values in order to be able to determine the proper or faulty running of the process.

A computer implemented method for adjusting a fastener setting tool, the method comprising: measuring a first parameter associated with a first characteristic of the fastener setting tool; comparing the first parameter to a predetermined parameter, wherein the difference between the first parameter and the predetermined parameter represents a condition of the fastener setting tool; calculating an adjustment based on the comparison, wherein the adjustment is to the first characteristic of the fastener setting tool and/or to a second characteristic of the fastener setting tool, the adjustment configured to compensate for the condition of the tool; and applying the adjustment to the fastener setting tool.

A fastening tool includes: a pin gripping part; a first detecting device configured to detect that the pin gripping part is located in a first detection position; a first abutment part configured to move integrally with the pin gripping part; a second abutment part provided within the tool body and configured to position the pin gripping part in the frontmost position by abutting on the first abutment part; a second detecting device configured to detect abutment between the first abutment part and the second abutment part; and a control device configured to control driving of the motor. The control device decelerates the motor when the first detecting device detects that the pin gripping part reaches the first detection position in the process of moving forward, and thereafter stops the motor when the second detecting device detects abutment between the first abutment part and the second abutment part.

A fastening tool includes a driving mechanism that is connected to perform rearward movement and forward movement, a position obtaining part that is configured to obtain a relative position of the driving mechanism, and a motor controlling part that is configured to change a moving direction and a moving speed of the driving mechanism. The motor controlling part starts the forward movement of the driving mechanism such that the moving speed reaches a first speed; reduces the moving speed to a second speed lower than the first speed by PWM control for changing a duty ratio outputted to the motor, when the obtained relative position reaches a deceleration position rearward of the initial position in the forward movement, and stops driving of the motor when the obtained relative position reaches a predetermined braking position forward of the deceleration position and rearward of the initial position.
