Vibration rivet tool for pressing and fastening rivets into component drillings into components i.e. aircraft components, has sensor for producing mechanical vibration, where static press-in force is overlaid by amplitude of vibration

摘要

The rivet tool (1) has a rivet retainer (2) and a drive unit (4), where the drive unit produces a static press-in force (5) in a direction of a rivet longitudinal axis (6). A vibration sensor (9) is provided for producing a mechanical vibration (11), and the static press-in force is overlaid by an amplitude of the mechanical vibration. The amplitude of the vibration runs parallel and/or transverse to the rivet longitudinal axis, and works in a direction of the longitudinal axis. A frequency of the vibration is steplessly adjustable, where the vibration sensor is a piezoelectric element. An independent claim is also included for a method for pressing and fastening of rivets into components drillings of components of aircraft.
