Hi All,
First time poster - please take it easy on me.
I recently purchased a Numatx squeezer, so far I've been really impressed with how easy it makes setting rivets however I'm having some issues when it comes to dimpling.
When using the 1.75” compression pin the dies don’t fully come together and lead to under dimpling. (This picture is actuated)
However when I use the 2” compression pin there isn’t enough of a gap to fit the material between the dies prior to actuation. (This picture is prior to actuation)
I have tried using dies from both cleaveland and ATS and have used both the 3” C Yoke and the longeron yoke. The flush rivet sets seem to work OK with the 2” compression pin as they don’t have the dimple pilot, however I do have to remove the yoke to swap out sets – is this normal?
I have scratched my head for a while now and I am sure it is probably operator error – however I can’t seem to figure out were I have gone wrong. Can anyone shed any light?
Many thanks,
Jake
