ELECTRIC TIGHTENING MODULE FOR COBOT WITH AUTOMATIC SCREW FEEDING

To easily automate repetitive tightening operations and make the best use of operator’s skills. Entirely designed and built by Fiam in Italy.

WHY TIGHTEN WITH COBOTS

• Being quickly reprogrammed and used for different applications (low-volume runs or for variable workflows with quick operational setup changes)
• Flexibility for process automation as they can be programmed to work in reduced mode when a human comes within range of the robot and resume full speed as soon as the person leaves
• Great ease of programming and very fast setup
• Increased production capacity, quality of tightening processes and hence of the resulting end products.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

• Can be combined with all collaborative robots on the market
• Plug & Play solution, ready to be integrated on Cobot wrist
• The module interfaces with the automated production systems (Industry 4.0)
• Turnkey system​
• Guaranteed operation: strict internal pre-delivery tests​
• 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
• Jam-proof screw shooting with double control system: more speed and operational continuity ensured
• Technology of nutrunner motors: can be pneumatic, electric eTensil, electronic X-PAQ

TIGHTENING DEVICE WITH FORWARD BIT STROKE – PATENTED

• Lightweight and compact in size to be clamped to the wrist of the Cobot
• SAFE : screws are always held with mechanical retention and not by suction inside jaws (no jamming in case of dust and no loss of the screw inside the components); the screw is only shot out once the screwdriver head is positioned by the Cobot over the tightening point: this means that the tip of the screw is never exposed during handling and hence cannot hit the operator.
• The screwdriver head does not rest on the surfaces, protecting them from any contact
• E-MCB brushless electric nutrunner motor with torque/angle 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.
