We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Riveting",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Two-hand machine actuation simplified from
Banner Engineering, which we summarised at the time by saying "A bar-type control system minimizes the possibility of defeat and accidental actuation, and its ergonomic design reduces hand, wrist and arm stresses associated with repeated switch
operation".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Turret lugs for strong board connection from
Harwin: "A comprehensive range of turret lugs that provide a strong, reliable wire to board connection - are detailed in the catalogue and website of Harwin".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Kistler Instruments
concerning its Type 5825A2 welding and fastening monitor
- take a look at Weld and fastening monitor works at machine
which says: "A battery powered measuring system for analysing joining methods, such as spot welding, clinching and riveting, measures and records the force-vs-time and force-vs-distance curve".
Take a look also at the news release from Alcoa Fastening Systems, Riveting systems are competitively priced,
as well as Force transducer enables real-time quality control from HBM UK,
and Automation determines BIW consistency from Mike Page - editor's feature articles.
