Model SD-185 Robotic Blow-Fed Screwdriver

The Model SD-185 Screwdriver is ideally suited for applications where a screwdriving head will be positioned by a robot or other type of positioning system. The driving head can be universally mounted at any attitude and the feed system may be located away from the driving head. This mounting arrangement is also advantageous when only limited mounting space is available or when mounting multiple driving heads in close proximity to one another.

The Model SD-185 Screwdriver head is equipped with placement jaws and a feed tube attachment. The feed tube conveys the fasteners from a vibratory feeder bowl to the placement jaws. A wide range of fastener types can be fed and driven by this screwdriver and the size of the feeder bowl is determined by the physical size of the chosen fastener. Fasteners can be driven into a workpiece to either a predetermined torque setting or to a specific depth setting. The screwdriver head has built-in sensing to confirm proper insertion of each fastener. This screwdriver may be purchased as a complete tooled system with controls and vibratory feed system.
