Definitions

  • the invention relates to a setting tool with means for controlling setting operations.
  • a disadvantage of these known means for controlling the setting process is that although it can be determined with a certain probability whether the setting process is within a given tolerance limit, the cause of an error can not be determined.
  • a placement process can result in a whole series of errors. For example, errors of the operator, such as by incorrect application of the setting device, too wide holes, false rivets, errors in the rivet itself. Blind rivets also always run the risk that the rivet only covers the part to be fastened, but not the counterpart.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a setting tool that monitors the setting process and also detects the cause of an error occurring. Moreover, it is an object of the invention to provide a comprehensive control over various parameters of a setting process.
  • a setting tool is provided with a head piece, in particular for receiving the rivet, a device for gripping and / or pulling and a pulling device connected to the device for gripping and / or pulling, which means for measuring the occurring during the setting process size values, means for Comparison of the measured values with stored values and a device for determining a cause, in particular a cause of error, for the deviation of measured from stored values.
  • the setting tool which can be of various types, such as riveting tools, Blindnietmuttersetztechnikmaschinemaschinemaschinemaschinee, Lock ring pin set tools, has sensors.

  • the stored values not only contain a setpoint curve, which, if not followed, assumes a faulty setting process, but also values for specific errors. These values can be used as mere individual values but also as a setpoint curve with various parameters that describe a specific error. available.
  • the amount of stored error causes includes at least one cause of error, which may already be sufficient for some applications. Preferably, however, a plurality of different causes of errors are stored. In addition to errors, however, the cause of deviations, which are still within the tolerance range, but are not ideal, can be determined.
  • the setting tool on a specific setting process, which is defined for example by the rivet used, the material used and its thickness, preprogrammed.
  • a programming on several different setting processes is conceivable.
  • the invention makes it possible to eliminate the cause of the error as quickly as possible. Since operating errors are also detected with the invention, the setting device is also outstandingly suitable for untrained operators. By the invention, the quality of each setting process can be controlled. This is for example of great advantage in aviation technology. Although partially rivets are used there, which has been subjected to an X-ray inspection. Whether the riveting process then went without errors, can not be guaranteed by the control. With the invention, it would theoretically even be possible to dispense with the complex X-ray inspection, and still be able to guarantee the durability of the riveted joint.

  • the device is checked whether the device is attached at the correct angle. Often, operators do not set the jig exactly at right angles. This leads to a reduction in the strength of the connection. It is also useful to check if a wrong rivet has been used. There are also rivets that are not visually different, but made of other materials and thus have a completely different strength. This can be done for example by the course of the tension exerted by the pulling device. Another embodiment controls whether the rivet is defective. For example, material defects in the rivet lead to a different force curve. Another embodiment controls whether the bore intended for the rivet is too wide or too narrow. Also, whether a rivet is in the device can be easily determined with the setting tool according to the invention, for example by measuring the applied tensile stress.
  • the programming of the device can be done by performing a test series in which deliberate mistakes are made.
  • the deviations of the measured values which occur during the respective errors can then be stored in the device in order to be compared with later measured values. It is also conceivable, not only to perform a pure error control, but also to compare the deviation of a still lying in the respective tolerance area setting process with an ideal value.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention has a device for measuring the position of the traction device and / or for measuring the tension exerted by the traction device.
  • the position of the pulling device and the applied tension are two of the most important parameters that can be used to determine a number of causes of failure.

  • This piezoelectric sensor requires no power supply.
  • An expedient embodiment of the invention has a capacitive sensor for measuring the position of the pulling device.
  • a capacitive sensor is much more accurate than commonly used optical sensors.
  • the angle to the surface on which the setting tool is attached measured by means of at least three sensors arranged on the head. These sensors touch the surface on which the device is attached when it is set at right angles. Thus, a frequent error of the operator can be diagnosed.
  • the setting tool has means for data storage and / or further processing.
  • the measured values can be statistically evaluated.
  • the user can control exactly how many setting operations were made, how many were faulty, and what causes for mistakes.

  • a statistical error evaluation is already possible with the device itself.
  • the setting device has a device for date and / or time recording.
  • the setting processes and possible errors can be assigned to a certain point in time. It is so comprehensible in retrospect, when and therefore often where exactly a specific error has happened.

Also if there is no rivet in the device. Even if only the component to be fastened is detected when setting a blind rivet, it is still possible to cancel the setting process while indicating the cause of the error.

The same applies, for example, if the blind rivet was not just inserted into the opening in the sheets or the opening for the rivet is not optimally adapted. The latter occurs, for example, by non-circular openings or those with incorrect diameters.
  • Known riveting tools use rivets with preset parameters, such as the tensile force to be applied. at In optimal conditions, a riveting operation using such a device may also achieve an optimal result, but deviations will occur not recognized by the target parameters, which affect the strength of the connection. This is particularly significant, as a poor riveted joint may well give the appearance of a correctly placed blind rivet or a rivet nut during external inspection.
