4.3 TO INSTALL AN NEOBOLT® FASTENER
For further information regarding this fastener, refer to the nose assembly data sheet as listed in the table in section 2.3. The
information below is for guide use.
•
Put NeoBolt® pin tail into hole and push fully through the joint layers.
•
Fit NeoBolt® collar over the pin tail (the fl anged end of the collar must be closest to the work piece) and rotate clockwise
to engage the collar onto the pin fi t-up thread by at least half a turn.
•
Push the collet fully over the pin pulling tail until collet fully covers the pulling groove on the NeoBolt® pin and the
pulling tail makes contact with the collet stop. The placing tool must be held perpendicular (90°) to the work piece
surface.
•
Depress and hold the tool trigger switch to start the installation cycle. The collet will grip the NeoBolt® pin tail and pull
the anvil up against the collar.
•
Continue to hold the trigger down until the collar is fully swaged and the forward motion of the anvil stops against the
collar fl ange. The placing tool piston and collet will then automatically return to push the anvil off the installed collar
and release the pintail from the collet.
•
Release the trigger.
•
Once the installed fastener has been ejected from the anvil, the placing tool, nose assembly and pump unit are ready
for the next installation.
CAUTION – Do not release the trigger until the placing tool pull cycle is complete and the pump unit and tool have
switched automatically to the return cycle. Releasing the trigger before this point will result in an incorrectly placed
and partially installed NeoBolt® fastener.
5. SERVICING THE TOOL
IMPORTANT – Read safety instructions in Section 1 of this document. The employer is responsible for ensuring
that tool maintenance instructions are given to the appropriate personnel. The operator should not be involved
in maintenance or repair of the tool unless properly trained. The tool shall be examined before putting into daily
service for damage and malfunction.
5.1 DAILY SERVICING
•
Check placing tool, hoses and quick couplers for oil leaks.
•
Worn or damaged hoses and couplings should be replaced.
•
Check the stroke of tool meets the minimum specifi cation.
•
Check the stem defl ector is fi tted.
•
Check the end cap is properly and tightly fi tted to the AV®25 body
•
Check the pump pull / advance pressure relief valve is functioning correctly.
•
Check nose equipment is correct for the rivet to be placed and that it is fi tted properly.
•
Check for worn anvil indicated by score marks on the installed collar. This can also be confi rmed by referring to the
installed data in the fastener catalogue. Excessive wear can cause the anvil to rupture.
5.2 WEEKLY SERVICING
•
Dismantle and clean the nose assembly especially the jaws/collet as described in the relevant nose assembly datasheet.
•
Check for oil leaks in placing tool, hoses and quick couplers.
CAUTION – Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These
chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts
5.3 ANNUAL SERVICING / EVERY 250K OPERATIONS
Annually or every 250,000 cycles (whichever is sooner) the tool should be completely dismantled and new components
should be used where worn, damaged or as recommended. All O-rings, back-up rings and seals should be renewed and
lubricated with MolyKote® 111 grease before assembling.
