Rivetter

Pneumatic Rivetting Tools That Deliver Speed and Consistency in High-Cycle Assembly

APT Pneumatics’ Rivetters are designed for fast, fatigue-free fastening of rivetting in industrial setups where output consistency and joint integrity are critical. Whether working with blind rivets or solid types, these tools simplify repetitive fastening tasks by providing controlled pull force and rapid setting, eliminating the need for manual effort or complex torque adjustments.

Widely adopted in automotive lines, sheet metal shops, and equipment assembly plants, APT Rivetters are suited for joining lightweight structures, brackets, and enclosures where vibration-resistant fastening is needed without welding or screwing.

Repeatable Rivetting Without Operator Fatigue

With a simple trigger mechanism and balanced weight distribution, APT Rivetters offer smooth handling across shift-long operations. The tool’s pneumatic grip ensures each rivet is pulled to a consistent tension, eliminating the variability seen in manual tools or torque-based setups.

Their compact frame allows for easy access in tight or recessed assembly points, while the air-powered system supports quick retraction and reset—helping teams maintain speed without sacrificing accuracy.

Key Functional Features

Weighing just 1.5 kg, the tool allows extended operation with reduced strain—ideal for line assembly and mobile repair tasks.

With up to 1800 blows per minute, it offers fast and consistent riveting, ideal for batch production and fabrication shops.

Compatible with various attachments, the tool can be used not just for rivetting, but also for chipping, scaling, cutting, and caulking operations.

Compact form factor (235–245 mm) enables use in tight corners, under panels, and close to frame joints.

Operates at 6 kg/cm² using a 1/4″ BSP air inlet and 9.5 mm hose—making it easy to integrate into standard air lines.

Industrial Use Case Scenarios

APT’s AR-5 and AR-5C Rivetters are versatile pneumatic tools built for high-impact operations across fabrication, assembly, and maintenance environments. With support for rivetting, scaling, cutting, and caulking, they are ideal for situations where multiple surface prep and joining processes must be handled with the same tool.

For optimal rivetting results, always verify the nosepiece matches the rivet diameter, and apply light lubrication every few cycles to extend tool life and reduce piston wear.
