What is the difference between a rotary riveting machine and a riveting machine?

Riveting machine and riveting machine are two common metal joining tools, and there are some differences between them, including working principle, applicable scenarios, and operation methods, etc.

How it works:

Riveting machine: The riveting machine fixes the rivet or rivet cap to the workpiece by applying pressure, usually through a hydraulic or pneumatic system to provide pressure.

Riveting machine: The riveting machine screws the rivet or rivet cap into the workpiece by rotating the head, and forms the head at the other end to complete the connection.

Applicable Scenarios:

Riveting machine: Riveting machine is usually used for thicker metal workpieces, which require high connection strength and tightness, such as automobile manufacturing, shipbuilding, etc.

Riveting machines: Riveting machines are typically used for thinner metal workpieces, as well as for scenarios that require quick and easy operation, such as aerospace, electronic device manufacturing, etc.

Connection Quality:

Riveting machine: The riveting machine is usually able to provide higher connection strength and tightness, as it can ensure a strong connection between the rivet or rivet cap and the workpiece by applying greater pressure.

Riveting machine: The connection quality of the riveting machine may be slightly inferior to that of the riveting machine, but in the right scenario, it is still able to provide a reliable connection.

How it works:

Riveting machine: An experienced operator is often required to control the hydraulic or pneumatic system, adjusting the parameters to ensure proper pressing.

Riveting machine: The operation is relatively simple, just place the rivet or rivet cap on the workpiece and complete the connection by controlling the rotating head.

In general, riveting machines are suitable for connections that require high strength and tightness, while rotary riveting machines are suitable for thinner metal workpieces and scenarios that require quick and easy operation. The choice of tool depends on the specific application requirements and the characteristics of the workpiece.
