Receiver-fastener apparatuses and systems for joining panels

A system for joining a first panel and a second panel, at least partially overlapping each other, the system comprising:

• a shank-fastener apparatus, comprising:
• a shank-fastener housing;
• a shank-fastener turret, supported by the shank-fastener housing and selectively rotatable relative to the shank-fastener housing about a shank-fastener-turret rotation axis (A);
• an indexing-pin assembly, supported by the shank-fastener housing and selectively movable relative to the shank-fastener housing between an indexing-pin-assembly extended position and an indexing-pin-assembly retracted position along an indexing-pin-assembly axis (B) that is parallel to the shank-fastener-turret rotation axis (A);
• a drill, supported by the shank-fastener turret and selectively movable relative to the shank-fastener turret along a drill axis (C) that is parallel to the shank-fastener-turret rotation axis (A);
• and
• a shank-fastener delivery assembly, supported by the shank-fastener turret;
• and
• a receiver-fastener apparatus, comprising:
• a receiver-fastener housing;
• a receiver-fastener turret, supported by the receiver-fastener housing and selectively rotatable relative to the receiver-fastener housing about a receiver-fastener-turret rotation axis (Z);
• an indexing-collet assembly, supported by the receiver-fastener housing, selectively movable relative to the receiver-fastener housing between an indexing-collet-assembly extended position and an indexing-collet-assembly retracted position along an indexing-collet-assembly axis (Y) that is parallel to the receiver-fastener-turret rotation axis (Z), and configured to cooperate with the indexing-pin assembly to secure the shank-fastener apparatus and the receiver-fastener apparatus relative to the first panel and the second panel;
• an anvil, supported by the receiver-fastener turret, selectively movable relative to the receiver-fastener turret along an anvil axis (X) that is parallel to the receiver-fastener-turret rotation axis (Z), and configured to cooperate with the drill for operative drilling of a drilled hole through the first panel and the second panel;
• a receiver-fastener delivery assembly, supported by the receiver-fastener turret and configured to position receiver fasteners for operative placement on shank fasteners, corresponding to the receiver fasteners, by the shank-fastener delivery assembly;
• and
• a swager assembly, supported by the receiver-fastener turret, movable relative to the receiver-fastener turret along a swaging axis (W) that is parallel to the receiver-fastener-turret rotation axis (Z), and configured to swage the receiver fasteners on corresponding ones of the shank fasteners.
