Hydraulic Riveting Machine

Hydraulic Riveting Machine

Fully hydraulic cold riveting system with a T92Y-series pump station and hanging or horizontal clamp — used on truck frame assembly lines and other welded/riveted structures.

Hydraulic Riveting Machine

Overview

About this machine

The hydraulic riveting machine adopts full hydraulic drive and control. When it reaches output pressure it can achieve cold riveting directly, improving the quality of the riveting.

Compared to traditional pneumatic riveting, the advantages include improved working conditions, reduced noise, agile operation, lower labour intensity, higher rivet speed and increased production efficiency.

Features

Design features and technology

01

System layout

The system comprises a pumping station, rivet clamp, sling, high-pressure hose, balancer, tackle, slide rail, working oil cylinder and accessories. The layout and installation are set up according to the requirements of the product line.

02

Hydraulic pump station

The hydraulic pump station is the central control part of a high-speed hydraulic riveting machine, and its performance influences normal production. It contains an oil tank, integration-control valve block, pressurization cylinder, oil pump-motor group and electric appliance control.

03

Integrated cylinder and valve block

The pressurize cylinder and valve block are integrated with minimal volume, which reduces leakage and heat and enhances longevity.

04

Mass flow cartridge valves

The mass flow cartridge inserted valve system offers superior flow, leak proofness, anti-pollution properties and wear resistance.

05

Branded components

The Italian ATOS series pump ensures high pressure, minimal leakage and low noise, while LISHILE series control slide valves provide stable changeover with low noise.

06

PLC control

PLC electrical control offers stability and modification flexibility.

07

Optimized hydraulic system

Optimized hydraulic system design enables high rivet speed and efficiency. An optional mass flow air cooler enables operation in tropical regions.

08

Riveting clamp

The clamp comes in two types — hanging and horizontal — with hanging clamps seeing widespread use. Main components are the oil cylinder, riveting clamp body, moving riveting die, stationary riveting die and handle button. To ensure performance while reducing weight as much as possible and keeping operation handy and agile, the body and oil cylinder use high-quality special steel.

09

Riveting dies

These divide into moving and stationary dies, installed on the piston rod and the clamp respectively. Die size fits standard series rivet shapes, with custom dies available. A-type dies serve hanging clamps; B-type dies serve horizontal clamps.

10

Hanging device

The hanging riveting clamp is installed on the hanging device to work. With the hanging device the clamp can move freely, so it can aim at the riveting part quickly. Balanced weight and spring balancer options are available.

11

Balance weight and tackle

A balance weight or spring balancer installs between the tackle and the riveting clamp to equilibrate the clamp weight, so operators can manoeuvre the clamp easily left and right. Balance weight design matches clamp weight; spring balancers are purchased components sized by clamp weight.

12

Sling

In accordance with different requirements of usage, the sling divides into several general types. Standard and special type slings rotate 180° and suit common workpieces; crank type slings also rotate 180° and accommodate inclined angle workpieces. Standard slings ship with the product; special requirements are noted at order placement.

In use

Applications

  • Frame manufacturing for heavy-duty vehicles, buses, light-duty vehicles and farm vehicles
  • Riveting side frames, core plates, draft lugs, strikers and side pillar edge beams of open cars, railway vehicles and tank cars
  • Bridge steel structure assembly
  • Fastening air blower blades
  • Tramcar riveting
  • With corresponding devices fitted: punching, press-fitting, printing and forming
  • Cases in service: exported for riveting truck frames in South Africa, winning the Overseas Quality Engineering Award from China FAW; a frame riveting production line at the new Qingdao FAW workshop

How to order

  • 1The slide rail (16# double iron) and seamless steel pipe are user-prepared per requirements.
  • 2Choose the balancer: balance weight or spring balancer.
  • 3Choose the riveting clamp working form: hanging or horizontal — horizontal is mainly used for hanging frame parts.
  • 4Choose the hydraulic pumping station: single or double riveting capability.
  • 5Rivets follow standards GB863.1-86, GB867-86, GB864-86, GB868-86, GB865-86 and GB869-86, in plasticity materials such as Q235, F1 or F2.
  • 6Rivet length: L = 1.12δ + 1.4d, where L is the length (mm), d the rivet diameter (mm) and δ the width of the riveted parts.
  • 7Cold riveting force: Ø8 — 16 t; Ø10 — 20 t; Ø12 — 28 t; Ø14 — 40 t; Ø16 — 50 t.
  • 8Hot riveting force: F = 10d²π/4 (tons), where d is the rivet diameter in cm.
