An object of the present invention is to provide a screw tightening apparatus capable of reducing screw tightening time, suppressing damage of an inner wall of a transfer tube, preventing a screw from getting stuck in the transfer tube, stabilizing the position of a screw, preventing a direction of a screw head part from being reversed, stably supplying a screw to a driver bit, and improving the reliability. In an automatic screw tightening apparatus that transfers a screw from a screw supplying mechanism (1) to a screw tightening mechanism (4) by a screw transfer mechanism (32) using air suction of the screw tightening mechanism and tightens the screw to a predetermined screwed subject part, a screw discharging unit (2) for transferring the screw to a transfer tube with the head part of the screw (S1) being in the lead is provided in the screw supplying mechanism, an engaging unit (5) for engaging the head part of the screw transferred from the transfer tube with a fore end of a driver is provided in a fore-end part of the screw tightening mechanism, and an openable and closable sealing cover (53) for preventing air from leaking is provided in the fore-end part of the screw tightening mechanism, and is opened and exposes the screw engaged with the fore end of the driver when the fore end (612) of the driver (61) moves straight, whereby screw tightening is performed. |
