How to calculate impact force required for riveting pneumatic jig?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the impact force required for riveting a brass connection tag to a PCB using a pneumatic jig. The consensus is that the specific force needed to close the rivet is critical, while the materials involved (brass and PCB) are secondary. It is recommended to consult the rivet supplier for precise force specifications, as they typically provide this data.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of pneumatic jigs and their operation
  • Knowledge of riveting techniques and materials
  • Familiarity with force calculations in mechanical applications
  • Basic principles of PCB assembly
NEXT STEPS
  • Consult rivet suppliers for impact force specifications
  • Research pneumatic jig operation and maintenance
  • Study riveting techniques specific to brass materials
  • Explore mechanical force calculation methods in assembly processes
USEFUL FOR

Manufacturing engineers, assembly line technicians, and anyone involved in PCB assembly and riveting processes will benefit from this discussion.

I have to fix the connection tag to PCB by using pneumatic jig.
The material of connection tag is brass.

Unless I misunderstand you, the problem is just how much force is required to close a rivet. And the PCB and brass tag are relatively unimportant. I'd expect the rivet supplier can provide that data.
