Abstract:
A method of verifying that a robot carried self-piercing rivet gun system is set-up so that workpieces that are to be riveted will be normal to a self-piercing rivet gun of the robot carried self-piercing rivet gun system during riveting includes utilizing a perpendicularity sensor to verify that the workpieces will be normal to the self-piercing gun during riveting.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 1  wherein providing the perpendicularity sensor includes providing the perpendicularity sensor with a body configured to be received in the receptacle, providing the perpendicularity sensor with a micro-plunger actuated switch with a micro-plunger having an end that projects from an end of the body of the perpendicularity sensor having the flat surface and that switches the switch to provide the alert signal when the micro-plunger is depressed to less than a predetermined distance from the end of the body of the perpendicularity sensor having the flat surface, and providing that the predetermined distance is a distance that the micro-plunger will be depressed to less than by the fixedly located workpiece only when the fixedly located workpiece is flat against the flat end surface of the end of the body of the perpendicularity sensor when the perpendicularity sensor is brought into contact with the fixedly located workpiece.
