5. Product Portfolio – Automatic Eyelet and Grommet Machines

Textile, footwear, and leather factories require clean eyelet installation. Manual hole punching and hand setting take too much labor. Hand settings can also cause loose grommets or torn fabrics. An automatic eyelet machine solves these issues by combining punching and setting into one automatic stroke.

Our automatic eyelet tools use vibrating bowl feeders. The bowl sorts loose eyelets and sends them down a guided track. The upper punch grabs an eyelet at the bottom of the track. When the operator steps on the foot pedal, the machine punches a clean hole in the material and curls the eyelet barrel in a fraction of a second.

• HZX-E150TA Automatic Tabletop Eyelet Punching Machine: This tabletop riveting machine and eyelet puncher sits on any standard workstation. It handles small to medium metal eyelets. Operators use it to fasten eyelets on paper tags, leather belts, shoes, and clothing items. The clean punching action leaves no rough edges on fabric.

These machines process different materials smoothly. Operators can work on soft leather, woven fabric, thick denim, plastics, and cardboard. The adjustable punching pressure protects soft fabrics from damage. The consistent setting force keeps every eyelet tight and flat.

6. Customization and Engineering Process

Standard machines do not fit every factory layout or unique metal workpiece. Some metal parts have deep channels, curved ends, or tight clearance holes. HZX operates an experienced in-house R&D engineering team. We design custom riveting machine solutions tailored to your specific product drawings.

Our engineering workflow follows five straightforward steps:

1. Sample and Drawing Submission: You send us technical CAD drawings or physical workpiece samples along with your rivet specifications.
2. Machine and Mold Design: Our engineers analyze your workpiece shapes. We design custom feeding tracks, special punch dies, and custom positioning fixtures.
3. Precision Machining: Our workshop uses CNC tools to machine the custom dies and feeding bowls. We harden the steel dies to ensure a long working life.
4. Production Line Pre-Testing: We assemble the machine and load your actual sample materials. We run hundreds of test cycles in our workshop. We check rivet tightness, feeding speed, and joint quality. We adjust the setup until it works perfectly.
5. Plug-and-Play Delivery: We record test videos for your review. We pack the pre-adjusted machine and ship it to your factory. Your workers can plug in power and air lines to start immediate production.

This pre-testing process delivers a strong Return on Investment (ROI). You do not waste weeks adjusting new equipment in your plant. You avoid line delays and tooling mismatch risks. The machine arrives ready for immediate work.

10. Maintenance Principles for Long-Term Performance

Regular maintenance preserves machine accuracy and extends component life. Operators should follow basic cleaning and lubrication routines to prevent mechanical wear.

Daily Operational Notices

• Keep punch and die riveting zones clean and free of oil or metal shavings. Clean the punch tip at the end of every shift.
• Clean material flow paths and feeding tracks daily. Remove dust and broken rivet debris so rivets slide down freely.
• Wipe vibrating feeder bowls using only dry cotton cloths. Do not use wet rags or harsh liquid solvents inside feeder bowls.
• Check rivet dimensions before loading. Avoid overloaded rivets or oversized rivet lengths to prevent jam issues inside the feed tube.
• Turn off main power immediately if you hear unusual noises or notice mechanical jamming. Inspect the machine completely before restarting operation.

Lubrication Schedule Framework

Proper oiling prevents mechanical wear on rotating shafts and sliding pins. Maintenance workers should follow this simple schedule:

• Every Shift / Daily Check: Inspect return springs and safety guards. Apply a few drops of light machine oil to exposed guide pins.
• Every 8 Hours of Operation: Add clean automotive engine oil to main drive axles, rotating shafts, and clutch pivot points.
• Every 48 Hours of Operation: Apply heavy industrial grease to eccentric cams, drive gears, and main crankshaft bearings.
• After Long Shutdowns: Lubricate all control levers, feeding slider poles, and pneumatic cylinder guide bars before powering on the machine.
