Non-Auto Transport
Automated Rivet Insertion
Speed and Simplicity
Building tractor trailers requires installing 1,500–3,000 rivets per sidewall: a tedious, labor-intensive process. By automating the process, Acieta reduced labor content and increased production rates, all without the use of robots.

System Benefits
This pneumatic-powered system can install 140 rivets per sidewall post in less than 20 seconds.
Automation need not always require robots. This air-powered solution provides a low-cost solution to increasing factory throughput.
With 98-99% accuracy, the system further reduces labor content by eliminating much of the rework previously required.
The simplicity of this creative solution translates to a system with less maintenance and lower part costs.
