  2. Powder-actuated tool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powder-actuated_tool

    Powder-actuated tools come in high-velocity and low-velocity types. In high-velocity tools, the propellant charge acts directly on the fastener in a process similar to a firearm. Low-velocity tools introduce a piston into the chamber. The propellant acts on the piston, which then drives the fastener into the substrate.

    Example of hand held electric heat gun Commercial heat gun kit Flame heat gun for shrinkwrapping helicopter. A heat gun is a device used to emit a stream of hot air, usually at temperatures between 100 and 550 °C (373 and 823 K; 212 and 1,022 °F), with some hotter models running around 760 °C (1,030 K; 1,400 °F), which can be held by hand.

  4. Types of press tools - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_press_tools

    The compound tool differs from progressive and stage tools by the arrangement of the punch and die. It is an inverted tool where blanking and piercing takes place in a single stage and also the blanking punch will act as the piercing die. That means punch will be to the bottom side of the tool and piercing punches to top side of the tool.

  9. Hot plate welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_plate_welding

    A heated tool is placed against or near the two surfaces to be joined in order to melt them. Then, the heat source is removed, and the surfaces are brought together under pressure. Hot plate welding has relatively long cycle times, ranging from 10 seconds to minutes, compared to vibration or ultrasonic welding .
