Blind riveting technique reduces service demand

The mechanism allowed different sizes and types of rivet to be easily accommodated, extending the working life of the jaws and reducing demands for service and maintenance. With the company's range of Taurus blind riveting tools, the likelihood of jamming is minimised due to the precise guiding action of the latest jaw design. And what's more, application of gripping pressure, through an air-hydraulic actuation, is directly on the mandrel of the rivet while supporting the flange of the rivet during the operational cycle. The design is thought to be one of the lightest available on the market and with an almost undetectable recoil action minimises operator fatigue. Also incorporated within Taurus is an air-suction control that enables the rivet to be retained in the jaws of the tool when used vertically. There are now four models of Taurus models, covering rivet sizes up to 0.25in. Come and meet Gesipa at the Fastening & Assembly Solutions Exhibition, 11th March 2010, at the RAF Museum Hendon.
