6 Adjust the rivet nut you are using by actually tightening it.
Measure the total length of the rivet nut before caulking. Measure the total length of the rivet nut after caulking, and
calculate the actual caulking margin by subtracting the dimension before caulking from the dimension after caulking. * When tightening the rivet nuts, refer to the “Work Procedure” in the instruction manual.
Caulking dimension ( ) = Total length of nut before caulking – Total length of nut after caulking
Adjust the stroke input value so that the caulking margin is within ± 0.3mm of the appropriate caulking margin. Even if you adjust the stroke input value, if the appropriate crimping distance cannot be achieved, the output may not be enough. Adjust by increasing the output one step at a time.

CAUTION
1. Since there are individual differences between aircraft, adjustment is required for each aircraft even if the same rivet nut is used.
2. When increasing the adjustment value, increase it gradually. If it is raised too high, it may damage the threads of the rivet nut or damage the machine body, such as the screw chuck.
3. If the stroke is too small or the force is too weak,The rivet nut may not be tightened enough and may cause the rivet nut to spin idly.
4. If the stroke is too large and the output is too strong, the rivet nut may be too tight and the thread may break.
Large stroke and force will damage the nut.

Regarding the stroke value to enter, check the thickness of the base material and check the appropriate caulking from the caulking table attached to the rivet nut you are using.
