Modulares tragbares Nietwerkzeug

摘要

A portable rivet setting system (10) is provided with a modular design. The portable rivet setting system (10) includes an electronic control module (34), a pneumatic control module (36), a rivet feeder device (18,24), an escapement mechanism (26) and an umbilical assembly (14) including a rivet setting tool (12) each modularly designed. The modular design improves the ability to react to diagnosed problems and allows the replacement or substitution of a single module while the faulty module can be repaired. The easy replacement or substitution of a module greatly reduces the down time associated with repairing the rivet setting system (10) and allows a user to remove and replace a module with limited technical capabilities.
