Bonding & Riveting Fixtures

Bonding and riveting fixtures are specialized clamping devices used to hold different parts together in the perfect position while they are being permanently joined using glue (bonding) or metal pins (riveting).
Here is the simple breakdown of what they do:
• Holds Parts Perfectly Still: These fixtures clamp down tightly on multiple pieces to prevent them from moving during the joining process.
• Ensures Accuracy: They guarantee that all holes line up exactly right for rivets, or that surfaces are positioned perfectly for glue to set, ensuring every finished product is identical.
• Applies Pressure:
o Riveting: The fixture holds everything in alignment while the rivets are installed and set.
o Bonding (Gluing): The fixture applies precise, consistent pressure over time to ensure a strong, uniform glue bond as the adhesive cures (dries).
• Custom Made: They are specifically designed for the unique shapes of the parts they are joining, often used in aerospace or automotive manufacturing where precision is essential.
In short, these fixtures are tough, custom-made cradles that perfectly position parts and apply pressure to ensure a strong, accurate, and permanent connection with glue or rivets.
