There are many types of riveting equipment. Based on different riveting processes, levels of automation, and application scenarios, they can be mainly divided into the following categories:
Manual riveting tools
(1) Hand hammer + jack
Principle: Manually hammering the rivet, combined with a jack to form the rivet.
Features: Low cost, high flexibility, but low efficiency and poor consistency.
Applicable to: Repair, small-batch processing (such as traditional steel structures).
(2) Manual Rivet Gun
Types:
Pull rivet gun (for blind rivets): The rivet mandrel is pulled by a lever.
Rotary rivet gun: The rivet is deformed by rotational pressure.
Features: Simple to operate, suitable for single-sided riveting.
Applications: Home appliance and automotive sheet metal repair.
Pneumatic/Hydraulic Riveting Equipment
(1) Pneumatic Rivet Gun
Principle: Uses compressed air to drive the punch to complete the riveting.
Features: High efficiency (tens of times per minute), requires an air compressor.
Applications: Batch riveting on production lines (such as machine housings, ventilation ducts).
