Dixon Automatic Tool, Inc. is a privately-owned company located in Rockford, IL. Our Company is the outgrowth of Dixon Research, Inc., founded in 1946 by the late Paul H. Dixon. Dixon Research specialized in the development of weapons with high-speed ammo feed systems for the military. As this technology developed, we transitioned to industrial applications that led to re-incorporating our company as Dixon Automatic Tool, Inc. in 1952.

Our staff have always been focused on engineering and the creation of new products to improve productivity. Our products are the result of years of design and development work involving parts handling for automated assembly. Dixon has accumulated a wealth of experience and knowledge in assembly technology. Our engineering background allowed us to specialize on developing automatic self-fed screwdrivers, nut drivers, part placers, feed systems, part orienting and placement of a wide range of component piece parts. We also offer a line of semi-automatic work cells.

In 1995 we partnered with Stöger Automation of Germany as their Authorized Distributor in North America. This working relationship expanded our product line, adding compact blow-fed screwdrivers, part placers, blind rivet-nut setting systems, wire thread-insert drivers, and hand-held screwdrivers.

Our screw & nut drivers are unique as they complete the fastening and verification of each part as they are driven. Each Dixon product is thoroughly inspected and tested to assure our high standard of excellence. All of our standard products have a one-year warranty covering material and workmanship. Our employees are dedicated, professional, and highly skilled. The proven reliability of Dixon products and their rugged durability makes Dixon the No. 1 choice of many major manufacturers and machine builders.

Contact us today, we look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
