Abstract

One advantageous embodiment of the present invention is an integral clamping-and-bucking apparatus (12) for a system (10), which is utilized for applying rivet fasteners (56) to two or more panels 14a, 14b) and forming a joint (24) therebetween. The integral clamping-and-bucking apparatus (16) includes a clamping foot (46) for clamping the panels (14a, 14b) in a predetermined configuration and for drilling a hole (54) in the panels (14a, 14b) the panels (14a, 14b) at the joint (24). Also, the integral clamping-and-bucking apparatus (12) further includes a bucking bar (48) for bucking a rivet tail (62) that extends from the hole (54). The clamping foot (46) and the bucking bar (48) are coupled to and actuated by a controller (32). This controller (32) actuates the bucking bar (48) and the clamping foot (46) for transferring power between the clamping foot (32) and the bucking bar (48) while maintaining a substantially constant total force applied to the panels (14a, 14b).
