ABSTRACT

A blind rivet nut-setting tool includes an output shaft, an input device for
adjusting an operating mode, a distance-setting device, a motor coupled to the
output shaft, a position sensor for detecting a position of the motor, and a
controller. The distance-setting device, the motor, the position sensor, and
the controller are configured to receive, from the input device, an input
indicative of the operating mode, determine the tool is in a distance-based
operating mode, determine a value of the distance-setting device, determine a
pulling distance based on the value of the distance-setting device, operate
the motor to actuate the output shaft, compare the number of rotations of the
motor to a rotation threshold that corresponds to the distance to pull the
rivet nut, and stop, in response to the number of rotations of the motor being
greater than or equal to the rotation threshold.
