Abstract:
A fastener setting device includes a monitoring circuit having circuitry to receive a feed status signal from a first sensor within the feed system. The circuitry receives a robotic arm status signal from a second sensor within the robotic arm and receives a rivet set status signal from a third sensor within the setting tool. The circuit determines if a fault condition occurs; and initiates a rivet clearing procedure if a fault condition is detected.
