Autoloading rivet installer with debris collection

An autoloading rivet installation device comprising:

• a rivet gun defining a longitudinal plane;
• a loading arm coupled to a first actuator, wherein the loading arm is configured to load rivets into a nose of the rivet gun, wherein the first actuator is configured to extend and retract the loading arm parallel to the longitudinal plane, and wherein the first actuator has a shaft oriented parallel to the longitudinal plane, and wherein the loading arm extends orthogonal to the shaft and is configured to rotate about an axis of rotation defined by the shaft;
• and
• a second actuator coupled to the rivet gun, wherein the second actuator is configured to translate the first actuator in directions orthogonal to the longitudinal plane.

An autoloading rivet installation device, comprising:

• a hand-held rivet gun;
• an automatic loader configured to load rivets into an end of the rivet gun using a first actuator having a shaft oriented parallel to a longitudinal plane of the rivet gun, wherein the first actuator is configured to rotate the shaft while extending and retracting;
• and
• a second actuator coupled to the rivet gun and having an orientation orthogonal to the first actuator, wherein the second actuator is configured to transition a magnet laterally between a plurality of positions relative to the longitudinal plane to capture ferromagnetic debris.
