What outcome should be achieved when a rivet squeezer is set up correctly?

When a rivet squeezer is set up correctly, it achieves a perfectly driven rivet. This means that the rivet is compressed evenly and adequately to form a strong, reliable connection between the materials being fastened. A well-driven rivet will have a uniform head and a proper grip that ensures the structural integrity of the assembly.

Correct setup and operation of the squeezer ensure that the force applied is consistent, leading to optimal deformation of the rivet without causing damage to the materials being joined. A perfectly driven rivet also minimizes the risk of fatigue failure in the joint, contributing to the overall safety and performance of the aircraft structure. Proper training and technique are essential in achieving this outcome, as the success of the riveting process directly impacts the effectiveness of the aerospace structures being assembled.
