RE: Rivet length
What thickness material? What meterials are you fastening?
What budget do you have, and how many dozen/hundred/thousand/million rivets do you need to fasten?
Shop or field?

This looks like the machine we are using:

We are riveting at 14 places
We need to have a 6.30 and 7.30(both are min) diameter after riveting. Current diameter before riveting is 5.0 mm for the 6.30 and 6.0mm for the 7.30. I am having problems after the riveting operation, some of the rivets are breaking.
RE: Rivet length
If you are forming the rivet to a sharp edge, I would suspect you are forming too little material too far and the sharp edge is cracking.
What is the length you are using before forming?

say.....10 gauge (.1345) to 16 ga (.0598) = 0.1943" grip length
this information (if I had not known) is available in a 10 second web search
