 Head Extensions
FOR FREE ACCESS TO RECESSED
RIVETING LOCATIONS
Head extensions are a
great help when riveting
locations are not easily
accessible or recessed in
the depth of an application.
GESIPA offers 50 and
100 mm length extensions
for all tools of the TAURUS
series.
Tool extensions are comprised
of three components:
tool head, jaw
pusher and traction rod.
Installing the extension
increases overall tool head length to 106 mm with the 50
mm extension, and 156 mm with the 100 mm extension.
The diameter of 22.5 mm (.885”) remains constant over
the whole head length.
The installation doesn’t require any special tool except
for the wrenches supplied with the extension.

Pressure Trigger
TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ELEMENTS OF THE
RIVETING APPLICATION WILL BE IN CONTACT
The pressure trigger insures that application materials
are properly pressed together,
eliminating gaps, before the rivet
is set. This
avoids expansion
of the
rivet body
between
application
materials. The pressure trigger
mechanism is installed instead of the
standard tool head.
The pressure trigger mechanism prevents riveting
until a pre-determined pressure is sensed
by the special tool head. The valve controlled
by the tool trigger is connected in series with a
second valve controlled by the tool head. Riveting is
possible only when both valves are simultaneously
open and sufficient pressure is applied on the tool by
the operator. Presetting the pressure threshold is done
by adding or removing springs in the tool head in steps
of 9, 12, 16, and 19 pounds. No other adjustment is
necessary and a drifting of the preset value is impossible.
The pressure trigger mechanism cannot be retrofitted
on existing tools and must be ordered from the factory
as an original configuration.

Captive Spent Mandrel Container
FOR QUICK DISPOSAL OF BROKEN MANDRELS
This version of the
spent mandrel container
remains attached to the
tool. It is particularly
well suited for rivets
with extra length
mandrels.
Rotating the mandrel
collector opens a window
allowing quick
emptying of spent mandrels.
All TAURUS tools can be purchased with this mandrel
container or be transformed by the user with a retrofit
kit.

|
Evacuation Tube
FOR DIRECT DISPOSAL OF THE BROKEN MANDRELS
This feature replaces
the spent mandrel collector
with a 5 foot
tube.
Exhaust air from each
stroke ejects spent mandrels
into the evacuation
tube. This eliminates
the need to constantly
empty a collector.
Workstations remain
clean and riveting tasks
can proceed without
interruption.
Use of the 5 feet evacuation tube is only possible with
the tool’s air suction open!

Remote Controlled TAURUS Tools
FOR INTEGRATION IN AUTOMATIC PRODUCTION LINES
Remote controlled TAURUS tools are designed for use in semiautomated
and multi-tool installations where remote triggering is
required. A sensor installed in the tool’s nosepiece confirms that a
rivet has been loaded. In multi-tool applications this feature can
prevent tools from being cycled unless all rivets are present. Spent
mandrels are removed via evacuation tube to a bulk receptacle.

GrivCount
RIVET COUNTER FOR A THOROUGH CHECK OF THE NUMBER OF RIVETING OPERATIONS
Quality and safety depend of the presence of each individual
rivet in the application when several riveting operations are necessary
to obtain a reliable assembly. A special sensor installed in
the tool, and connected to an electronic counter, allows a reliable
count of the installed rivets.
The sensor is installed just in front of the broken mandrel container
and records every spent mandrel
ejection. Signal processing can be performed
either locally with the GrivCount or
remote controlled by a centralized system
interfacing with the signal amplifier
GrivAmp.

TAURUS with Process Control
FOR FAILSAFE QUALITY MONITORING OF EVERY RIVET
Failsafe process control is achieved by a real time analysis of
traction and stroke during the riveting operation. All system
components involved are part of the tool itself. Each analysis takes
less than a microsecond. The result is displayed by a green or red
LED installed on the tool, as well as indicated by an optional
signal tone. Operators are instantly alerted if the tool detects a
rivet that fails to set according to redetermined application
parameters.
The system allows not only individual
analysis of every rivet installed, but also
provides global analysis of the whole riveting
application. The tool memorizes
up to 260,000 riveting operations which
can be reviewed at any time.
