Automotive assembly line welding tool has flexible and tubular bolt presentation feed

摘要

An automotive assembly line tool presents a bolt through a duct (6) to a selected location and simultaneously welds it in-situ. The bolt feed unit is a pliable pin (9) that moves through a circular arc that engages with a bolt-charge feed passage (8). The bolt feed moves between a pick-up position and a feed position to the variable-position welding station.
