Every industry has its professional term, and the Sheet Metal Processing industry is no exception. The following 25 are common.
(1) Pressure riveting: refers to the process of firmly crimping fasteners such as pressure riveting nuts, pressure riveting screws or pressure riveting standoffs on the workpiece using a punch or hydraulic press.
(2) Riveting: refers to the process of first countersinking the workpiece, and then using a punch or hydraulic press to firmly crimp the rivet nut on the workpiece.
(3) Pulling mother: refers to a process similar to riveting. The process of firmly connecting connectors such as rivet nuts (POP) to the workpiece with a pull mother gun.
(4) Pull riveting: refers to the process of tightly connecting two or more workpieces together with pull studs using a pull rivet gun as a tool.
(5) Riveting: The process of connecting two or more workpieces face-to-face with rivets. For countersunk riveting, the workpieces need to be countersunk first.
