Design and Development of Orbital Riveting Machine

Orbital Spin riveting is a relatively new technology for bearing locking in which parts are joined by specific movement of tools. Special incremental motion enables smaller contact area between tool and cage and therefore, lower forming load and friction. Hence, orbital spin riveting makes it possible to join a desired part in lower forming force in the operation, whereas in conventional locking more force would be required. The angle of the riveting tool held in the riveting head plays a significant role in the reduction in forming force, whereas the table motion will determine the accurate positioning of the rivet in to tool profile, resulting into exact shape and size of rivet head formed. This project presents a brief overview of Design and Development of Orbital Riveting machine for Bearing Assembly which leads to improve the product quality and its Productivity.
