TOOL DESCRIPTION
Please note that RIV943 is supplied without kits.
They are to be requested separately according to the user's requirements.
Operating principle
The hydro-pneumatic RIV 943 tool, is designed to place the following fasteners:
• RIVSERT female rivet nuts from M4 to M12
• RIVBOLT male rivet nuts from M4 to M10
The special feature of this tool is that there are two types of adjustments: force (by adjusting
the switching pressure) and stroke (by adjusting the stroke selection ring); the rivet nut is
screwed in by pressing the tie rod onto the rivet nut.
By working with force, the same insert can be applied to different sheet metal thicknesses, keeping
the ring nut in the maximum stroke position.
It is possible to work with the stroke only, adjusting the machine to its maximum force.
The function of the ring nut is to limit the stroke.
Piston travel and return are fully pneumatic, without return spring.
The machine is equipped with an additional unscrewing device in case the operator unintentionally
inserts an unsuitable insert or incorrectly adjusts it and gets stuck.
