ELECTRIC TIGHTENING MODULE WITH AUTOMATIC SCREW FEEDING – DUAL STROKE FASTENING SLIDE
To work with high production rates, precision, reliability. Entirely designed and built by Fiam in Italy.
- Ideal for assembly large sets of same screws
- Plug & Play solution, ready to be integrated into production systems such as assembly lines, manipulators, electric Cartesian axes, robots, cobots and to obtain complete and autonomous tightening cycles with a simple external start
- The module interfaces with the automated production systems (Industry 4.0)
- Turnkey system
- Guaranteed operation: strict internal pre-delivery tests
The system can be managed remotely and provides a perfect automatic approach stroke to the part being assembled and tightening cycle is managed by integrated PLC which relate to the management systems of production plant and interacts with several production line devices i.e Bar code reader, conveyor belt, workpiece clamping jig activation/deactivation systems, signalling and monitoring mechanism such as LEDs, part counters, light towers.
This MCA module consists of:
1. ELECTRIC NUTRUNNER MOTOR E-MCB WITH TORQUE/ANGLE CONTROL BY BUILT-IN TRANSDUCER AND INTEGRATED ENCODER
E-MCB brushless electric nutrunner motor with torque/angle current control with integrated transducer and encoder, designed and built entirely by Fiam in Italy for automatic use on machines and for the needs of Industry 4.0. With modular construction for safe maintenance management. Built-in electronics. Specifically for use in industrial automation.
To be combined with E‑TCS control unit, which powers and controls all functions of the connected E MCB electric tightening tool, enabling advanced programming and accurate control of every phase of the tightening process, with real-time visualization on the color Touch Screen panel.
-
CONTROL UNIT E-TCS
- Complete visualization of the tightening process also with graphics
- Instant display of TORQUE/ANGLE/TIME of tightening
- Poka‑yoke programming directly on the color touch screen
- 100 configurable Jobs, recallable from operator
- 100 configurable Tasks for each Job
- 12 configurable Steps for each Task
- Screw counting
- For each screw: programming of the maximum number of re‑tightening attempts in case of NOK screw
- Configurable loosening speed and direction
- Speed reduction during tightening with configurable final torque/speed values (downshift)
- I/O connector: 8 inputs / 8 outputs, freely programmable
- Tightening logs exportable via Fieldbus (e.g. PROFINET – MODBUS TCP/IP – ETHERNET /IP)
- Data storable on SD‑card, and therefore exportable (capacity of over 1 million tightenings)
2. DUAL STROKE FASTENING SLIDE
Always reliable, even in the presence of high production rates and where high axial thrust are required (e.g. in assemblies with self-tapping screws). In addition to the stroke performed by the motor for the purpose of tightening, it features an additional approach stroke to bring
the head down to the component.
- Equipped with screw transit sensor and limit switch position sensors
- Compact dimensions, low weight: ideal for manipulators/cobots
- “Screw at sight” function on request: to facilitate the entry into the screw imprint before carrying out the phases of possible approach and subsequent screwing
- Compact version on request: ideal for working from the bottom to the top and/or for layouts with reduced encumbrements
- Offset devices on request: to reach tightening points having a centre-to-centre distance of approx. 20 mm
3. SCREW-RETAINING HEAD
- Always customized on the screw and the component to reach any depth
- Reduced dimensions, also made with special materials/supports to avoid damaging the components, screw tip always clearly visible
- Excellent screw hold with mechanical retention and not by suction (no jamming in case of dust)
4. SCREWS FEEDER: 7 COMBINABLE TYPE
- ED B: Ø Bowl 240 mm, for screws L (mm) 10÷35
- ED B 1|1: Ø Bowl 240 mm, for screws L (mm) 10÷35, with increased FRL group
- ED B M 1|1: Ø Bowl 420 mm, for screws L (mm) 35÷60, for large screws and greater working autonomy
- ED B 2|1: 2 Ø Bowls240 mm, for screws L (mm) 10÷35, to feed 2 types of screws with 1 nutrunner motor
- ED S – Silent Feeder: segment conveyor, for screws L max (mm) 25 – Tank with 2 litres capacity
- ED B 1|2 : Ø Bowl 240 mm, for screws L (mm) 10÷35, to feed 2 nutrunner motors/fastening slides
- ED B M 1|2 : Ø Bowl 420 mm, for screws L (mm) 10÷35, to feed 2 nutrunner motors/fastening slides

MECHANICAL FEATURES OF SCREW FEEDERS
- Over-load sensor: to ensure keeping the correct quantity of screws on linear rail
- Screws selector: allows production increase for the “screw shot” inside a closed chamber
- Pneumo-electric device: equipped with Festo components
- Low level sensor: indicates when the bowl needs screw reloading
- Analogic line pressure switch: controls the incoming air pressure for the correct operation of different screw feeder functions and of the pneumatic tightening devices
- Structure in stainless steel: with transparent cover and lateral panels that can be dismantled for maintenance activity
- Filter, pressure regulator and lubricator with gauge already integrated in the machine
- Tube carring hoses and cables: 5 m
ED S – Silent Feeder model: with screw feeding system via segment conveyor that loads, aligns and sends the screws to an inclined rail
-
INTERCONNECTIVITY FOR INDUSTRY 4.0
-
- Integrated PLC to set and manage the tightening cycle basing on the specific application using the functional external keypad (PLC -portable and remotely manageable, for the ED S model)
-
- It connects to the several devices on the production line: conveyor belt, barcode readers, workpiece clamping jig, signalling and monitoring mechanisms such as LEDs, part counters, light towers.etc.
