Premium Auto Feed System

Increase production and decrease cycle time and labor costs through speed, reliability, ease of use and maintenance. The system is very swift, delivering a screw to the jaw set in less than half a second. Because of the simple design, the system is also reliable and consistent, providing a virtually jam-free operation. The system also has multiple access panels that may be removed without tools for easy maintenance.

Vibratory Bowl Feeder
Precisely aligns the screws and presents them to the screw selector. Wherein, they are rapidly dispensed into the distribution tube. Finally, a blast of air propels the screw past the screw sensor and into the jaw set. The PLC, signaled by the screw sensor, initiates the driving sequence. Dependable screw feeding is managed by the PLC to optimize all machine parameters.

Customizable Nose Piece & Jaw Set
The nosepiece holds the screw blown from the bowl feeder and guides it toward the workpiece, enabling the bit to engage the screw and fasten the components. The bit engages the fastener, eliminating the fastener pushing back into the jaw set.

Available as a manual auto feed system or integrated into an automation cell.

  • Manual Auto Feed System

    The ASG Manual Auto Feed System consists of two main components – the vibratory bowl feeder and the stroke mechanism – as well as a customizable nose piece and jaw set.

    The stroke mechanisms available for the manual system are a forward bit stroke or telescopic stroke:

    Forward Bit Stroke

    • Tip of the screw is visible
    • Forward stroke automatically retracts the bit, minimizing surface damage
    • Long bit stroke: allows access to difficult to reach tightening points
    • Nosepiece rotation: 360 degrees in 60 degree increments
    • Nosepiece quick release system: quick and safe bit replacement

    Telescopic Stroke

    • Telescopic device to work with high speed and optimum grip
    • Screw shooting sensor: version with two sensors controls final screw height
    • Nosepiece rotation: 360 degree rotation in 60 degree increments
  • Integrated Auto Feed System

    The ASG Integrated Auto Feed System consists of two main components – the vibratory bowl feeder and the fastening slide – as well as a customizable nose piece and jaw set. This system is designed to be integrated into assembly systems and robots.

    Fastening Slide
    Engineered for proper movement, the fastening slide ensures a proper stroke approach of the motor/screw to the components to be tightened. This provides high quality fastening of the assembled product to ensure all screws are properly fastened. Manufactured with aluminum alloy, the fastening slide is light and company (as narrow as 40mm in width) and can be used on solutions with manipulators or robots and supports axial thrust.

    • Includes a support structure, pneumatic cylinders, and driver
    • Steel backbone structure allows the unit to be mounted to robotic arms or manipulators
    • Supports electric or pneumatic driver
    • Manages the working cycle and guarantees high flexibility by allowing changes to be made to the tightening cycle based on the application
    • Ideal for manipulators, robots and anthropomorphic arms
    • For air nutrunner motors up to 36 mm
    • For electric nutrunner motors up to 42.5 mm

  • Additional Information

    Specifically designed and manufactured for industrial automation and applications where high cycle times are required. Pneumatic motors and the X-PAQ™ SD2500 (for electric applications) ensure constant performance for each unique application. These torque control products are sized dependent on application, type of joint, and fastener.
