Automatic fastener feed to pre-determined assembly station

摘要

The machine automatically presents nuts, to a pre-defined position in a housing. The nuts rest upon a moving pin (8), advanced by a pneumatic cylinder (13) and guided into place by a contour surface. The housing (11) incorporates three lever arms (7) sprung on an elastic wing (6) and having an adjustable swivel-range. The housing has a contoured receiving section for the positioning parts (3) in the flexible profiled hose inlet zone, with a matching geometry to the contoured piece (9). Two pins (1) are positioned opposite the profiled hose (4) inlet. An electronic monitor (14) tests for the presence or absence of a production component in the lever arm take-up zone (7). The production components (3) pass individually to the take-up arm (7) through a profiled hose or hollow body (4).
