DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND ANALYSIS OF INDEXABLE TOOL HEAD AND AUTO-FEED TABLE MECHANISM FOR PORTABLE ORBITAL FORM RIVETTER

Riveting procedure is orthodoxly carried out using also a press machine , or physically striking. This process is not precise, takes substantial time and effort and so also may result into damage of section. The Movable orbital riveter uses the principle of orbital riveting where in a high speed rotating riveting tool held at an angle in the riveting head is fed into the rivet. This results in cold forming of the rivet head of maximum strength and with moderately low force (less than 80% force that of conventional method) result into a strong and accurate bond. The approach of the riveting tool held in the riveting head plays a substantial role in the reduction in forming force , where as the table motion will control the accurate positioning of the rivet in to tool profile , ensuing into exact shape and size of rivet top portion formed. Project deals with development of portable orbital form riveting machine with portable drilling machine as power tool and auto-positioning feed table will be designed and modeled using Unigraphix software , Analysis will be done using Ansys work bench 16.0.
