Installation of Slide rails (continued)
Method 1: Using aluminium rivets
Rivet crimping pliers/rivet crimping clamp
Aluminium rivets XLAH 4x7
1
Insert rivets in the holes, using rivet
crimping pliers or a rivet crimping
clamp.
2
If working space is limited, the rivet
crimping clamp might be easier to use.
The two crimping tools perform the
same task, but the pliers are more
efficient and easier to use.
3
Check that the rivets do not protrude
over the surface of the slide rail.
Check both top and underneath
surface of slide rail for protruding
metal.
4
Keep a distance of approximately 30
mm between rivets and idler/drive
units. This is in case the units have to
be removed after conveyor system
assembly.
