Construction and supply options.

01

See the complete assembly

Start from the contact, support part, and their installed relationship as one finished unit.

02

Align the input parts

Clarify the supplied parts, production responsibility, and required surface condition.

03

Set the joint arrangement

Define the rivet position, assembly orientation, and acceptance checks for the finished assembly.

04

Create a repeatable assembly

The approved assembly sample becomes the working specification for repeat-production checks.

Riveted assembly dimensions

Confirm the support, contact position, rivet orientation, and finished assembly dimensions together.

  • Contact material and support material
  • Support thickness, key locations, and overall assembly geometry
  • Rivet position, orientation, and finished surface condition
  • Agreed visual, joint, and assembly checks

TolerancesTechnical review

Confirm these dimensions and tolerances from the drawing or sample, material system, and project review before production.

Manufacturing & Inspection

Manufacturing

Support preparation, contact positioning, and riveting are planned as one assembly process.

  • Support stamping or forming as required
  • Contact-rivet positioning and mechanical joining
  • Assembly orientation and key-location control
  • Sample production to the approved assembly sample or drawing

Inspection

Acceptance checks follow the assembled joint and its installed function.

  • Key dimensions, position, and orientation
  • Visual condition and finished surface
  • Joint condition and shear-related checks where specified
  • Cross-section or metallographic checks when required by the inspection plan

Understand the Structure and Key Features

Mechanical joint · section

The rivet passes through the support; its end is formed to retain the assembly.

  1. Contact head
  2. Conductive support
  3. Formed rivet end

Compare the contact material, conductive support and joining method.

Sample and quote

Share the support geometry, rivet position, orientation, drawing, or sample before production. Include the drawing or sample reference, expected quantity, and required timing. With sufficient drawings or specifications, we can prepare a quotation before sampling. Any sample or process validation required for the project is agreed and completed before mass production.
