Horizontal Rivet Injector Design Used on A320 Upper Panel 2007-01-3783
This paper will cover the design of the horizontal rivet injector use on the SA2 LVER designated for stage 0 production of Airbus A320 Upper Wing Panels. The injector design is intended to decrease cycle times and increase reliability while not reducing the functionality over previous rivet feed designs used by Electroimpact. Specific rivet handling methods and design features will be reviewed and their result on cycle time and reliability discussed.
