Incorporating the proven advances found in other members of the 5200 family, design approach for the In-line Riveter was to create a setting tool accommodating the natural movements associated with vertical riveting operations at assembly benches or work stations, as well as reducing vibration and recoil when rivets are set.

The In-Line Riveter affords a range of features contributing to new standards in operator comfort and ease of movement. Vertical suspension from the integral hanger by a suitable balancing system allows the tool to be brought to the job almost effortlessly (even rotated for horizontal applications) and yet raised away from the operator when not in use, leaving the work surface clear.

The system is completed by the high efficiency, remote vacuum Mandrel Collector. Making a significant contribution to workspace cleanliness, the standard container will hold up to 8,500 spent mandrels (more than sufficient for a full shift’s operation) ready segregated for simple, cost effective scrap reclamation.

The vacuum is generated at the collector; disconnecting the collection tube disables the system. If required, the vacuum transducer, shield and deflector assembly can be fitted to an even larger capacity container.
