Device for the automatic feeding and insertion of screws

摘要

To dispense with the relatively heavy and bulky motion and transmission mechanisms required for an axially movable screwdriving spindle, the screw holder (17) is mounted in such a way as to be displaceable relative to the screwdriving tool (5). Both the adjusting and the feed movement of the screwdriving operation are initiated via the appliance arm (1) of the industrial robot carrying the screwdriving device. In this way, larger screws with correspondingly high tightening forces can also be inserted with the use of a relatively small industrial robot. <IMAGE>
