TOOLS Understanding rivets
Below Ornit Blind Rivets focuses on the blind rivet industry and the different products, diameters, materials, and tools it is able to offer.
T
he blind rivet industry offers a vast range of rivets ranging from standard to structural, aluminium to titanium, as well as from diameters suitable for medical purposes to giant, heavy duty rivets for suspension
bridges. Where there are blind rivets, there are rivet guns and the range of rivet guns is nothing to be scoffed at either. The market is filled with manual, pneumatic, battery powered, electrical and robotic rivet guns, all complying to the unique needs of each individual end-user. The type and size of the rivet gun best for an
application depends on the clamp load, the rivet diameter and material type. Some rivet guns are designed for lower clamp loads and smaller diameters, like Ornit’s Steel-Fix 4mm and 4.8mm, steel/steel rivets. While other, more powerful rivet guns are ideal for high strength, structural rivets with high clamp loads like Ornit’s Super Orlock 6.5mm, Orlock Stainless Steel 7.8mm, Ornilock Stainless Steel 6.5mm and Or-Bolt. Hand riveters are ideal for applications using
aluminium or aluminium/steel blind rivets with diameters no larger than 6.4mm. These riveters are cost effective and simple to operate.
New angular tool for blind rivets
6.M150 Battery power rivet guns are cordless and subsequently have
the additional advantage of unrestricted mobility. The user is not limited by cables and can take the riveter on-site for indoor or outdoor applications but will need to change or recharge the battery at certain intervals. Many battery operated rivet guns are supplied with an additional battery so the operator will not need to wait while the battery recharges. The pneumatic rivet guns operate on compressed air from
a storage tank or compressor. Using this type of rivet gun may restrict the user to the area near the source of compressed air but pneumatic rivets do not need to be recharged and are usually capable of much higher loads and provide higher forces. These pneumatic rivet guns are ideal option for installing Ornit’s powerful, structural rivets like the Orlock, Ornilock and Or-Bolt ranges. Ornit provides the additional and convenient service of
advising and providing rivet guns best suited to customers’ applications. Ornit aims to provide customers with a versatile rivet gun that can be used on a number of applications over a range of diameters, materials and clamp loads, and so saving customers the bother and expense of stocking a number of rivet gun types. The rivet guns come with additional after sales services, repairs and spare part replacement.

New tools at Fastener Fair Stuttgart
B 126 Fastener + Fixing Magazine • Issue 78 November 2012
4.C40
Far srl will present two new riveting tools at Fastener Fair Stuttgart. The K25 for blind rivets replaces the K20, and the K29 for threaded inserts replaces the KJ28.
oth tools are approximately 200g lighter than the previous models, and have a more ergonomic and compact shape. They require an effort significantly lower for the application of fasteners.
Far will also introduce S-Trifar rivets. These rivets, with
aluminum body and nail, match an excellent mechanical resistence and the possibility to be assembled on thin thickness and with irregular holes. The junction has good waterproofing qualities due to a neoprene washer under the head of the rivet. These rivets must be used by a suitable nozzle.
