E7000 Fuselage Riveting Machine

The E7000 riveting machine is Electroimpact’s solution for fastening of pre-tacked aircraft panels. The E7000 was designed from the beginning with the goals of achieving industry-leading speed and reliability. A highly rigid machine structure enables operation at high feed rates. Systems are customizable, and are presently in production manufacturing a wide variety of parts, including both commercial and military fuselage panels (metallic and composite), wing structure, and cargo doors. Both Fanuc and Siemens controllers are available.

Features that are unique to the E7000 include:

• Fanuc Force functionality. Provides the ultimate level of control over the rivet upset process on systems utilizing a Fanuc controller. Enables precise force control during every stage of rivet forming.
• Self-clearing fastener injectors, eliminating fastener jams. Even in cases such as reverse-fed or double-fed fasteners, jams can be cleared automatically and without operator intervention. White Paper
• Air gap panel protection. Prevents damage to the aircraft part in the event of a tipped or sideways fastener, or in any other situation which prevents a fastener from being inserted correctly into the hole. Superior panel protection for all fastener types, including interference-fit bolts.
