Modular assembly system configured for purpose
To achieve reliable, precise, automatic assembly for the medical device industry, a rotary synchronized indexer base machine can be fabricated in five formats to suit production.
Assembly is automatic and precise
Built with eight, 12, or 16 stations (rotary), or up to 40 stations (linear) an automatic assembly system guarantees exact synchronization of movements and provides precise assembly sequences.
Mechanical precision units produce the movements and transmit the necessary torque.
The handling and advancing movements are infinitely variable.
For integration into automatic lines, the US100 Universal Screwdriver guarantees reliable results.
Extremely diversified, the US100 Universal Screwdriver is capable of handling virtually any type of screw, nut, or washer.
Screws or nuts are oriented in a built-in vibratory bowl feeder and are fed horizontally in a vibration track into the pickup position of the gripper.
The gripper jaws, which are easily exchangeable, pick up a screw by the threaded shank (or a nut by its periphery), swing it from the feed track, and place it under the rotating screw driving tool.
The downward motion of the closed gripper and of the screwing spindle corresponds to the thread pitch.
When the initial screw threads have been driven into the part, the gripper opens, swings back and picks up the next screw, as the first screw is still being tightened.
An electric motor drives the entire US100 Screwdriver however, all movements required for the screw driving sequence are cam controlled.
The necessary tightening torque is limited by a clutch with infinitely variable pressing force and action time.
