Five National Model 1600 Offset air heads mounted on a special base so that the head
on the right may be swiveled for use as a single riveter. The machine will set four or
five rivets as required.
Sets ten self-piercing rivets in one stroke while fastening two pieces of sheet steel
for use in air conditioning duct work. Parts are loaded on a fixture which swivels into
the riveting area.
A Model 800 rivet setter is equipped with a sound dampening enclosure and a lead screw
powered programmable in-line shuttle fixture. One of two rivet patterns is selected by
sensors, depending on the parts that are loaded. The shuttle allows the uniform riveting
of a complicated assembly by simultaneously locating and holding all of the parts.

Five Model 1600 Riveters with an automatic 3-position slide fixture sets ten self-piercing rivets in an air conditioner panel assembly. Three rivets are set at first position, five at second position and two rivets at third position. Slide fixture then returns to load position away from the riveters.

A Model B is complimented with a vibratory bowl for feeding electrical contacts, and an automatic strip feeder for part placement. This fully automatic machine rivets at a rate of 90 parts per minute.
One Model B Riveter over an 8-station 24" diameter index table with part sensors
at three stations and automatic air ejection.
Two Model B Riveters over a 24" 8-station index table, double tooled at each station
to increase production. Variable cycle time to match operator performance.
Three pneumatic riveters, with automatic shuttle, aligns motor lamination stack and
housing and sets three rivets.
