The new Taurus range of blind riveting tools from Gesipa has a novel
universal jaw mechanism that accommodates different sizes and types of
rivet, and offers a precise guiding action to reduce the risk of jamming.
Gripping pressure (via and air-hydraulic actuation system) is directly on
the mandrel, the flange of the rivet being supported during the
operational cycle. The tool will take blind rivets up to 8mm diameter and
achieves a maximum force of 16,800N at 6bar.
Other useful features include an undetectable recoil action to minimise
operator fatigue, and a switched air-suction control that retains the
rivet in the jaws when used vertically. Spent mandrels are automatically
evacuated and collected in a container, which slots into the rear of the
tool. Alternatively an extraction tube can be attached to convey spent
mandrels to a remote collector.
