The Duckbill Mold is an essential component of the riveting machine, used for the precise shaping and positioning of the rivet ends during the riveting process. Named for its unique duckbill-like shape, this mold is typically used to "press" or shape the end of the rivet, ensuring accuracy and strength in the riveting connection.

Functions and Features:

1. Shaping Rivet Heads
   The Duckbill Mold utilizes its unique design and shape to precisely form the head of the rivet, ensuring the rivet has the required shape and size. It is commonly used for pre-shaping or shaping the upper part of the rivet.

2. Positioning and Guidance
   The design of the Duckbill Mold allows for accurate guidance of the rivet, ensuring that it does not shift or slide during the riveting process. This prevents any impact on the rivet's quality, ensuring stable and secure connections.

3. Adaptability to Different Rivet Specifications
   The Duckbill Mold can be customized according to various rivet specifications, making it suitable for processing a wide range of different rivet types. The mold's opening size, shape, and angle can be adjusted to meet different riveting requirements.

4. Increased Production Efficiency
   Using the Duckbill Mold can improve riveting efficiency, as it performs both shaping and positioning tasks simultaneously, reducing operational complexity and streamlining the process.

5. Durability
   Duckbill molds are typically made from high-performance steel or alloy materials to ensure durability and long service life under high-pressure, high-frequency usage conditions. Over time, the surface of the mold may experience wear, so it is important to regularly inspect and replace it as needed.
