Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1127634A2] In a self-piercing type rivet setting system operated by a robot or a jig, to save an expense for its arrangement, to reduce a size thereof and also to reduce a number of interface cables. A self-piercing type rivet setting system 30 comprises: a rivet swaging assembly 35; a robot 6 which moves the rivet swaging assembly 35 to put it in position relative to a predetermined site on a workpiece to be riveted; a single integrated controller 31 made up by an integration of a controller for controlling a riveting operation of the rivet swaging assembly and a controller for controlling the motion of the robot; and a rivet feeder 9 for automatically feeding a self-piercing type rivet to the rivet swaging assembly. From the integrated controller 31, a interface cable 33 extends to the robot 6 and another interface cable 34 extends to the rivet feeder 3, and the rivet swaging assembly 35 is integrally incorporated into the robot 6. <IMAGE>
