Abstract
The apparatus for fixing rivets () in structural parts () includes a positioning adapter () for fixing one end of a rivet in a structural component with the rivet () in a riveting position; a riveting adapter () for deforming another end of the rivet, which has a movable deforming device () for deforming the rivet by impact energy stored in it; and a device for changing or adjusting the impact energy () stored in the movable deforming device. A greater flexibility for adjustment of the required impact energy () to different boundary conditions is thus possible, which guarantees that a minimal number of working strokes or only a single working stroke is required to fasten a rivet () in a structural component (). This reduces the mechanical stress on the riveting adapter () and the working robot () guiding it besides reducing the noise level.
