A collet assembly including an actuator and a collet connected to the actuator. The collet assembly is adapted to be installed on a welding electrode holder having an electrode. The collet is moveable by the actuator from an advanced position, in which the collet is adapted to grip a fastener such as a welding rivet, and a retracted position, in which at least a portion of the collet is retracted into the actuator to enable the electrode to engage the fastener for welding to a work piece, and the collet is adapted to release the fastener.

Collet assembly for fastener feeding apparatus

Resistance spot rivet welding systems, subsystems, and methods of use thereof are provided.

Resistance spot rivet welding systems and methods of use thereof

Fastening collar removal apparatus, methods of making fastening collar removal apparatus, and methods of removing a fastening collar secured to a fastener are provided. A fastening collar removal apparatus includes a collet including a first section including a substantially cylindrical shape and a second section operatively coupled to the first section. The second section includes a collet cavity extending therein. The collet cavity is configured to receive at least a portion of a collar. The second section includes at least two fingers formed by at least two axial channels in the second section. At least one of the at least two fingers includes a blade extending inwardly relative to a longitudinal axis of the collet. In an open configuration of the collet, each of the at least two fingers includes an outward taper relative to a longitudinal axis of the collet.

Rivet dispenser systems and methods of use thereof are provided. In a non-limiting embodiment, the rivet dispenser system comprises a rivet receiving member defining a channel therein, and a seat member. The channel includes a curved region. The rivet receiving member comprises a first port and a second port. The first port communicates with the channel and is configured to receive rivets. The second port communicates with the channel and is configured to dispense rivets. The channel extends between the first port and the second port and is configured to transport rivets from the first port to the second port in a series arrangement and in a preselected orientation. The seat member communicates with the second port and is configured to selectively engage with a rivet holder of a resistance spot rivet welding apparatus and introduce a single rivet to the rivet holder at one time.
