Autofeed tightening machine for different types of stud bolt

Fiam designed and manufactured a new solution to process two different types of stud bolt: symmetric and asymmetric, threaded elements diffused mainly in the automotive sector (engine assembly, alternator, air conditioners and mechanical components in general).

Scope of solution:

2 Circular feeders customized on the type of stud bolt; they assure high supply and capacity without using hoppers

2 Linear feeders customized to convey the stud bolts

2 Stud bolt selectors:

The system to process asymmetric stud bolts is equipped with a camera that detects the direction of the stud and a special rotating device that oriented the stud in the right direction before conveying it to the nosepiece for the automatic

tightening.

A single stroke fastening slide with:

- Special analog transducer recognizing different fastening depth according to the type of stud and the workpiece to be processed

- Air nutrunner motor with air shut off that ensures the assembly to 4 Nm torque

- Special screw head that can receive and hold both types of stud bolts
