Tightening module automatically feeds 1 splide/spindle with 2 geometrically similar screws, e.g differing in length or made from different materials (e.g. stainless steel/browned steel). Screw choice is managed by the feeder’s PLC by a selector or an external signal. Plug & Play solution, ready and tested to be integrated into production systems such as assembly lines, manipulators, electric Cartesian axes, robots, collaborative robots and to obtain complete and autonomous tightening cycles with a simple external start MCA module consists of:
• SCREW FEEDER ED B 2|1, soundproofed: 2 bowl 240 mm Ø and for screws length from 10 to 35 mm, has integrated:
- PLC
- Modbus TCP/IP protocol
- Interface Webserver to remotely connect
- Analog line pressure switch
- FRL Group
• NUTRUNNER MOTOR: pneumatic or electric, for any need for torque, speed and type of monitoring, torque or torque/angle/time control as well as programming, analysis, of the tightening cycle with important advantages in precision and operational flexibility
• FASTENING SLIDE: to choose from many light and compact models for any layout and approach stroke to the tightening points, even from the bottom to the top on very closed centr-to-centre distances
• SCREW RETAINING HEAD: always customized to tighten any type of screw, anywhere and without risk of screws loss inside components thanks to mechanical screw retention
The system provides a perfect automatic approach and tightening; the cycle is managed by PLC which relates to factory systems (Industry 4.0) and can be managed remotely.
It interacts with various devices i.e Bar code reader, conveyor belt,
