804400.000_public_en 21
Operation Radial riveting machine RN 151

5.3 Setting up the riveting machine for a new workpiece

Before setting up for a new riveting job, the following requirements must be met:
1. Suitable form tool for the rivet and closing head to be produced
2. Form tool length suitable for calotte radius of pressure cup (Rp) in the
currently installed form tool holder

NOTICE
The form tool length Ls must be selected so that the form-shaping form tool
profile cuts directly in the radius centerpoint (see Chapter "Form tools").

3. Rivet holder or workpiece carrier must be set up centrically to the riveting

spindle axis and fixed onto the machine table
The following settings must always be made in the control unit "Setup operation" so
that the procedure can be interrupted at any time:
1. Insert workpiece
2. Adjust the height of the riveting machine in the stand so that the distance of
the form tool to the rivet is smaller than the maximum achievable spindle
stroke. If a short cycle time is desired, this distance to the workpiece can be
reduced as long as the necessary distance required to insert the workpiece
is maintained.
3. Set the required dimension for the rivet path with the stroke limiting stop

NOTICE
Incrementally lower the stroke limiting ring to determine the correct setting using
a test workpiece.

4. At the same time, incrementally adjust the riveting force setting (via pressure
regulator) and riveting spindle advance speed (via restrictor valve) to obtain
the required results
If the workpieces evidence spreading over the height, the stroke limitation may be
an obstacle. In this case, the stroke limiting stop should be set slightly lower than
necessary. The actual riveting path is then only limited by the termination of the
specified riveting time.

NOTICE
If other system parts may start oscillating due to resonance by the riveting
process, check that the tool is in perfect condition and that the workpiece holder
is fastened without any play.

22 804400.000_public_en
Radial riveting machine RN 151 Operation

5.4 Possible machine settings

Riveting to stroke limiting stop
Suitable for workpieces with constant thickness.
The necessary riveting path can be finely set by adjusting the stroke limiting stop.
The height of the closing head then only spreads by the workpiece height spread
value. The riveting time must therefore be sufficient that the stroke limiting stop is
also securely reached.
During the "riveting out" on the stroke limiting stop, stress is removed and the
closing head is cleanly smoothed.
Riveting without stroke limiting stop
Suitable for parts with differing heights.
Instead of a limiting stop, the stroke is limited by the set riveting time. The closing
head is then only influenced by the pressure, stroke speed (exhaust valve throttle)
and the riveting time. The stroke limitation must be set so that the form tool cannot
move into the workpiece carrier when a workpiece is not present.
Riveting under high pressure
Suitable for rivets where a high hole intrados pressure is required.
If a higher pressure is selected for a specific riveting, the riveting time is reduced.
The permissible pressure limit is set by the workpiece itself.
The opening of the restrictor valve means both a faster advance of the riveting
spindle (centre sleeve) and a steeper rise in force.
Riveting under low pressure
Suitable for joint riveting.
A longer riveting time, but lower pressure. The stress on the workpiece is reduced.
Possible bending of a rivet pin can be prevented.
The partial closing of the restrictor valve also works in the same direction. Advance
speed and rise in force takes place slowly. Less material is pressed into the bore,
the closing head therefore has more material volume available and will tend to be
larger, the intrados remains small.

6.2 Form tool D = 10 with various lengths

Standard form tools with shaft diameter D=10 can be replaced by hand. They are
held with a permanent magnet.

CAUTION
Longer form tools require the replacement of the form tool holder and
pressure cup. Form tool length must always be in combination with pressure
cup and form tool holder as shown in the table below. Non-compliance can
lead to the destruction of the machine!

For longer and therefore heavier form tools, the use of an O-ring (9.25x1.78mm)
inserted into the groove in the form tool holder can provide a better hold.

7.3 Automatic lubrication riveting spindle head

The automatic lubrication is recommended mainly for machines and units that are
installed in automatic systems and are operated in multi-shifts. It is however also
suitable for manual workplaces to ensure regular relubrication of form tool holders
and pressure cups.
Two machines or units (e.g. RND) can be lubricated simultaneously with a second
metering valve. The distance between both machines or units should however not
exceed more than 1 meter.
A constant air pressure of 6 bar is necessary to operate the device.
Setting the grease volume
The riveting spindle head is default
supplied with approx. 6mm3 grease.
For extremely high loading, this volume
can be increased by rotating the level
control of the injection lubricator
(metering valve) in the "+" direction.
One level increases the volume by
approx. 1mm3.

Monitoring
The level monitoring in the grease
container is implemented with an
initiator whose control state is shown
on the control unit display when the
grease volume is too low.

Lubrication interval
The lubrication interval is specified with the setup parameter in the control unit. The
default lubrication interval in the control unit is set to 5h.
The default lubrication interval of 5h can be adapted if necessary to the operating
requirements. A shorter interval can be set for hard permanent operation in the
upper riveting force range or a longer interval for manual insertion operation (see
setup table in operating instructions “Control”).
Topping up the grease container
See Chapter "Maintenance and repair work".

7.4 Foot switch

If for instance large and/or bulky parts cannot be riveted using a two-hand
operating unit, a safety foot switch can be used.
7.4.1 Function
When the safety foot switch is actuated, the make contact is closed and the riveting
procedure initiated. When the pedal is released, the riveting spindle automatically
returns to the start position.

CAUTION
Foot switch is activated
unintentionally!
Contusions, scrapes!
Set the riveting machine to the smallest
possible stroke for the processing.

7.7 Rubber sleeve

When the riveting unit is installed in horizontal or vertical (working direction from
bottom to top) position, the riveting head is exposed to dirt, chips and riveting
material abrasion. To ensure the machine in working order for a longer period, the
riveting spindle head can be protected with a rubber sleeve.
