COMBINATION COLLAR FEEDER AND SWAGING TOOL

摘要

A combination collar feeder and swaging tool for installing lockbolt fasteners. The collar feeder is mounted on the tool to present collars one-by-one from a cartridge. After placing a collar on a lockbolt shank, the feeder moves out of alignment with the nose assembly to allow it to advance onto the collar for swaging purposes.
