Abstract
A machine comprising a horizontally elongated base having pairs of pylons slidably mounted on opposite sides of the base for horizontal movement along the length thereof, forming in effect, a moveable C-frame. The workpiece is fixedly supported on the base in a substantially vertical position, and the pylons of each pair work together on opposite sides of the workpiece to process rivets/fasteners or perform other functions. Each of the pylons comprises a vertical first component and a horizontal second component. The second component is movable vertically on the first component, and is also movable horizontally toward and away from the workpiece. Carried on the end of each of the horizontal second components adjacent the workpiece is a tool assembly holder that is rotatable about horizontal and vertical axes. Each tool assembly holder is adapted to detachably receive a tool assembly, and each tool assembly consists of tools for successively performing various functions, the tools on one side of the workpiece being axially aligned with an companionate to the tools on the other side, so that simultaneous operation of the opposed tools performs the desired function.
