Riveting anvil positioning device with interchangeable anvil for riveting operations performed by automatic machine tools

摘要

An anvil positioning device for an automatic machine tool which performs a rivet operation on a rivet comprises a chuck (3) movably connected to the machine tool (2). A block (17) is slidably mounted axially inside of the chuck. An interchangeable anvil (12) is engageable with the chuck and has a rod (20) which is slidably mounted within the anvil for pressing a rivet. A control unit (40) is used to control the movement of the chuck and a pressing unit (30) is used to press the block against the rod of the anvil.
