DEBRIS WASTE COLLECTION SYSTEM IN MANUAL RIVETING OPERATION

摘要

The present invention belongs to the field of industrial manufacturing, and more in particular to the aeronautical industry manufacturing, focusing on the production where there is an extensive use of standard rivets in a wide range of rivets installations. Up to now, when manual riveting operation is performed, which is common in aeronautical structures, all studs rivets, collars, etc. once broken in the process, they fall to the ground or into areas inside the aircraft, resulting in a significant increase of the cleaning time required, and above all, causing possible foreign object damage (FOD) issues. Currently there are not known means to take into account the collection of the generated debris in such manual riveting processes.
