Abstract
A hub nut caulking apparatus docked on an axle assembly includes a position setting guider to set a caulking position of a hub nut when the hub nut caulking apparatus is docked on the axle assembly, a caulking unit pressing the caulking position of the hub nut, a driving unit driving a piston rod forward using driving air pressure to provide pressing force to the caulking unit, and a driving control unit controlling the driving unit to drive the piston rod forward only if the setting of the caulking position has been finished by the position setting guider. The convenience, safety, and efficiency of a caulking work are improved, and the configuration is simplified, so that productivity is greatly improved.
