Screwdriving and feeding technology from a single source
Standardised modular components build the perfect ensemble
Production downtime, assembly errors, product recalls – Who is not eager to avoid these horror scenarios for industrial series production. Contamination, defect parts or faulty screw joints are all examples of small issues creating major problems. Significant financial damages and loss of reputation lead to dramatic consequences which can be avoided if the utmost reliability is guaranteed.
Industrial screwdriving and feeding assembly systems are composed of a variety of complex components, the sound interplay of which, is of decisive relevance for the reliability and productivity of the unit as a whole. In order to avoid interfacing issues between screw feeding and the screwdriving tool, DEPRAG SCHULZ GmbH from Amberg, Germany, provides a wide spectrum of requisite system components from a single source. With over 40 years of experience, the standardised modular design of their components enables wide-ranging and versatile combination options with fast delivery times which ensure the perfect ensemble.
As well as ergonomic handheld screwdrivers for manual application, the DEPRAG portfolio also comprises stationary screwdriving tools for easy integration into automated PLC-driven systems. EC-servo technic tools can be used for maximum flexibility. Integrated sensor controlled torque and angle measurement enables precise control and regulation of the screw tightening procedure. The freely programmable applications allow a consistently high degree of flexibility. Furthermore, the comprehensive documentation and evaluation options for the processing parameters, guarantee the highest precision and security of processing sequences. The brushless EC-motors play an essential role in ensuring maintenance-free operation. Depending on the application area, EC-motors can be supplied with torque measurement based on power consumption as well as pneumatic screwdrivers. All screwdrivers are available in straight design, in angular design for restricted environments or pistol grip design for horizontal use. A torque range of between 0.008 Nm and 500 Nm can be achieved subject to tool and application requirement. Even difficult to reach positions can be accessed for screw assembly using the DEPRAG Feed Module DFM, which provides screwdriver vacuum hold for screws or nuts until processing begins.
The selection of the most suitable screwdriving technology is the first step on the way to optimised screw assembly. Smooth functioning feeding technology is vital for high system reliability, productivity and the efficiency of manual work stations.
