RIVET NUT M10 FHO type - ANALYSIS

Case 1: Rivet M10 from JC Gupta

1) Used existing Rivets from JC Gupta –

AHO type
2) Head height protruded above the
plate is 0.6 mm observed.
3) Process - Hexagonal hole in laser cut
+ rivet crimping
Case 2: M10 Rivet from CLUFIX without any drilling operation

1) Used new Rivet from Clufix – FHO

type as per the drawing
2) Head height protruded above the
plate is 1.12 mm observed.
3) Process - Hexagonal hole in laser cut
+ rivet crimping
Case 3: M10 Rivet from CLUFIX with drilling (countersunk) operation

1) Used new Rivet from Clufix – FHO type

as per the drawing
2) Head height protruded above the plate
is 0.3mm observed.
3) Process - Hexagonal hole in laser cut +
Drill+ rivet crimping
4) Drill size – 16 dia. and Drill depth – 1.4
Challenges to be discussed by projects, quality and engineering team
before finalizing.

• Controlling the depth of drilling (countersunk) operation with the available

machine at BFGM is not accurate and tolerance variation at 0.3mm.

• Repeatability of the same results in bigger lot size

• Fixturing the parts on drill bed for counter sunk operation
