OPTIONAL DEPTH SWITCH RST-403, RST-404
This option allows use of either CONTINUITY DETECTION or closure of a DEPTH SWITCH
to turn on the full rivet pressure. It is useful when parts being riveted have a non-
conductive coating.
INSTALLATION:
RST-403: Mount the PNP proximity switch that is supplied with this option on the body of
the rivet machine using the mounting bar. Modify and bend as needed.
RST-404: Mount a customer-supplied mechanical limit switch or PNP proximity switch on
the body of the riveting machine.
BOTH: Make and install an adjustable cam on the moving part of the riveter that will go
in front of this switch when the upper riveting mandrel are less than 1/4" from the lower
riveting mandrel.
NOTE: If the parts being riveted are very thick, setting the DEPTH SWITCH to close when
there is a 1/4" gap between riveting mandrel might not work when the part being riveted is
in place. In this case, set the DEPTH SWITCH to close when there is 1/4" gap from the top
of the part being riveted to the underside of the upper riveting mandrel.
To protect from pinch point injury when a part is not between the riveting mandrel, adjust
the riveting mandrel holders so that the air cylinder will bottom out when the gap between
riveting mandrel is 1/4".
