Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions about our fastener insertion machines, answered by our experts.

What is the difference between choosing hydraulic or pneumatic power for a fastener insertion machine?

  • Hydraulic drive transmits pressure via a cylinder, providing higher and more stable pressure and relatively greater riveting accuracy. It is suitable for large workpieces and high-strength materials.
  • Pneumatic drive uses compressed air as the power source and converts pressure via an air-to-hydraulic intensifier. It therefore offers faster response, lower energy consumption, and lower equipment cost, making it suitable for high-volume production of small parts.

First, assess the workpiece material and thickness — stainless steel typically requires a higher-force model, while thin aluminum parts can use small- to mid-sized machines. Next, check the fastener specifications — different diameters and fastener types require matching dies and pressure settings, so confirm the machine and tooling are compatible. Finally, consider production throughput: for high-volume runs, choose semi- or fully-automatic insertion machines; for small-batch, multi-spec production, a model with flexible manual adjustments is preferable. Please provide sample parts and production requirements so our engineering team can make a precise recommendation.

Three common causes and remedies:

  1. Die mismatch: If the die does not match the fastener specification, the rivet can misform. Replace with the correct die for the fastener.

  2. Incorrect pressure settings: Insufficient pressure yields loose joints; excessive pressure can deform or skew the part. Adjust pressure according to material and fastener specs — start testing at about 80% of the recommended setting and fine-tune.

  3. Poor part positioning: Loose or inaccurate fixturing causes misalignment. Verify and secure the fixture, ensure correct part placement, and, if necessary, improve locating accuracy.
