The Rivetor
Rivetor Robotic Blind Fastening System
Embedded Files
• The Rivetor is a robotic arm that will be placed on the outside of the fuselage where it will follow along the circular curvature.
• The goal of The Rivetor is to eliminate the process of both punching a hole and then having another operator to fasten the rivet in the pre-existing hole by simultaneously doing it together.

The Rivetor Drilling and Riveting Module connected at the end-effector
The Rivetor MATLAB Simulink/Simscape Environment with sliding base and dummy fuselage
• The design configuration of the robot will comprise of direct drive motors, a gear box and a compact drilling and riveting module that will be placed on the end effector of the arm.
• The Rivetor is estimated to perform up to 60 rivets per hour.
• The proposed system is five times more efficient than the traditional manual fastening process and will save nearly 3 million dollors in a span of 15 years and therefore would be a good return on investment.
• The concept is designed on SolidWorks and simulated with MATLAB/Simscape.
• Check out the video of the concept model The Rivetor.
