A WORLDWIDE UNIQUE JAW MECHANISM (PATENT PENDING)
NOT JUST JAWS BUT A LOT MORE
TAURUS tools feature 3-jaw traction systems, while many competitors’
tools often use only 2-jaws.
Each jaw in the TAURUS tool rides in its own precision channel, thereby
perfectly aligning the jaws to the rivet mandrel.
In other systems jaws sit loosely inside the tool head and make less than
perfect contact with the rivet mandrel, resulting in uneven jaw wear and
more frequent servicing requirements.
Most rivet tools have a mechanical spring that applies pressure to their
jaws. Taurus tools replace this spring with an air-driven jaw system that
produces up to 10 times more gripping pressure.
With each cycle of the tool the jaws are driven onto the rivet mandrel and
securely locked down under pneumatic pressure as the rivet mandrel is
pulled.
This results in improved gripping traction, with less scraping off of mandrel
plating and debris that clog jaw teeth. Taurus jaws stay cleaner longer.
Higher tool readiness, reduced maintenance and lower spare parts consumption
make Taurus tools very cost effective.

Compressed air with double action
Compressed air is a factory resource to be conserved and Taurus tools
use it to maximum efficiency. Rivet tools equipped with spent mandrel
collection systems normally require additional compressed air to power
the vacuum collector.
This secondary requirement can consume up to 100 litres of compressed
air per minute. GESIPA’s Taurus tools conserve valuable compressed
air resources by utilizing the exhaust air from each tool actuation
to drive the spent mandrel into the tool’s collector.
This process is achieved by redirecting the exhaust air into the tool
head creating a powerful air blast that drives the spent mandrel into the
collection unit.
The TAURUS tool also features a conventional type vacuum system
which can be activated by a sliding lever located beneath the trigger.
When this feature is switched on a continuous vacuum is produced, creating
suction through the tool head. This feature enables the TAURUS to
hold an unset rivet in the tool head if rivets are applied in a down facing
orientation.
