ITC K-Series "Knee" Style Automatic Fastening Machine

Model ITC-K-Series "Knee" Riveter

ITC Aerospace Division designed and built the K-Series "Knee" Automatic Fastening Machine which is the most versatile drill and rivet machine ever manufactured. The unique knee design allows the fastening of leading edges, high curvature parts and ducts as well as flat panels. The narrow extended ram can reach inside of many parts and, therefore allows automatic fastening in areas that can not be fastened using "C" frame machines.

It is equipped with automatic fastener grip length selection and lower tooling turntable. The upset cycle applies upset forces up to 20,000 pounds. The machine installs up to 1/4" diameter monel rivets and is capable of two piece interference fastener installation. It features highly repeatable bucktail height control which is adjustable from the operator control panel.
