Riveting System Nowadays

Riveting systems come as a very important utility in these days industries. The process implies the worker to set up the rivet in the nose of the tool to actuate it. However, times changes and  these days the worker is excluded from the whole operation. Riveting system reduces the overall costs in a company. They come in a wide variety of models, depending on their structure and features.

Riveting refers to the operation where through two or more metal sheets or other thin profiles are combined through various systems. The riveting systems can be split in multiple categories, by various criteria.

• Judging from a technological temperature point of view, the most common riveting systems are the room temperature ones. The rivets are usually smaller than 12 mm in diameter. The systems may also be used at hot temperatures, for a better anchorage. It only depends on the metal that is used and the necessity of the job.
• From the working style point of view, the rivet systems may be manual or mechanical. The mechanical riveting systems imply large scale rivets, which are usually larger than 12 mm in diameter.
• The purpose and the destination of the job is also very important in riveting systems classification. Some rivets are used for resistance. This implies metallic bridges and rolling bridges first of all. Cranes skeletons are also very rich in rivets. Another category defined by the purpose of the job implies the sealing rivets. Such systems are mostly used for smaller scale objects, such as steam boilers or various recipients under pressure. You may also encounter resistance and sealing rivets. However, they are pretty rare and mostly common in particular orders.

Riveting systems nowadays come with many advantages.

• They present extra safety in the superior exploitation of ball iron. This includes various constructions under dynamic burdens, such as bridges or naval ships.
• They also allow combinations between unweldable materials. Some materials may be weldable, but the temperature required diminishes the effect of thermal treatments.

Just like anything else, nothing is perfect. So riveting systems nowadays also come with a few side effects.

• They have a high consumption of materials.
• The working conditions are very stressful due to the very high noise.
• The resistance of the worked parts diminishes in various sections.
• The sealing of the new construction also losses some of its characteristics and becomes very weak.

The side effects of riveting systems don't seem to be too minor and easy to ignore. Then why are these systems so common in various industries? The answer is pretty simple. They are not like regular workers and they can easily substitute a few workers. Also, they don't need any breaks, so as long as there is someone to take care of them, they can go on and on for days without any problems at all. Their prices come to substitute the workers as well, so they are only recommended for top industries. A good riveting system can easily reach $50,000.
