Manual hand riveters have three types: collet, lazy collet, and lever. Air-powered hand riveters are used for high-volume and speed industries. A hand riveter is a manually operated tool used to […]
A pneumatic riveter uses air pressure to drive a rivet into metal. There are three types: riveting machines, rivet guns, and automated assembly line riveters. The rivet is inserted into a hole and a buck is used to push against it. The riveting process is quick and involves air pressure pushing a piston down to […]
