Whether the threading and riveting procedure takes place horizontally or vertically is a
determining factor in the assembly of the compensation unit.
Vertical threading and riveting procedure
In the vertical application the compensation unit is assembled as shown in the image (with
the adjustment screw opposite the blind rivet). The stroke from the higher-levelsystem
must be set, that the slide of the compensation unit is located in the centre of the guide
when reaching the threading / rivet position. In the vertical case the contact pressure is
achieved through the dead weight of the RoboRiv. It is important that no additional force
is built up by the springs in the compensation unit.
Horizontal threading and riveting procedure
In the horizontal application the compensation unit is assembled turned at 180°as shown
in the image (with the adjustment screw in the direction of the blind rivet). The stro

ke from the higher-level system must be set, that the slide of the compensation unit is
located in the centre of the guide when reaching the threading / rivet position. In the
horizontal case the contact pressure is built up by the adjustment of the spring in the
compensation unit. The built up force should equal to approx. 30N.
