DRILLING-RIVETING MACHINE FOR RIVETING OF CURVILINEAR PANELS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC B21J15/44 G05B19/18 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: machine contains an upper power head, a support-leveling device for the panel, a control system and three distance-measuring sensors for measuring the distance to the panel surface. The distance-measuring sensorare are able to synchronously rotate by a given angle in a vertical plane passing through a series of riveting, by means of synchronous rotation mechanisms. A control unit for the mentioned mechanisms, a signal amplifier and a digital analogue transducer are provided in the machine. The distance-measuring sensors provide simultaneous measurement of the distance to the panel surface and the transfer of measured values via the digital analogue transducer, amplifier and control unit to the control system. The control unit is connected to the rotation mechanisms by a feedback interface to allow the distance-measuring sensors to rotate by a given angle.

EFFECT: increased accuracy of the panel alignment relative to the axis of the power head during its positioning at the riveting pitch.
