Industrial
screwdrivers and screw feeders are automated tools that are used to turn screws
while providing close control of screw torque.
Pneumatic devices use compressed
air and are suitable for low-torque applications such as woodworking or sheet
metal repair.
Electric devices use AC or DC
power and are designed for applications that require higher levels of torque.
Actuation
Methods
For both types of our
industrial screwdrivers, actuation methods include buttons, triggers, levers, and
press-down heads or bits.
Screwdriver
Motion
Screwdrivers with both
forward and reverse motions are commonly available. Clutches use continuous or
discontinuous drives.
Industrial
screwdrivers that use continuous
drive clutches deliver power continuously and without
interruptions. These devices are usually gear-driven and include both external
torque control and an automatic shut-off function.
Industrial
screwdrivers with discontinuous
drive clutches deliver power in short bursts, but do not provide
torque between bursts. Some devices generate torque with a small chamber of
oil. Others generate torque by pounding small, internal metal hammers against
an anvil.
Specifications
Industrial
screwdrivers vary in terms of head styles, drive types, and mounting styles.
Head Styles
1. In-line devices rotate concentrically with the
drive.
2. Offset devices follow an axis of rotation that is
parallel, but offset to the drive axis.
3. Right-angle screwdrivers rotate perpendicularly to
the drive axis.
4. Flat-bladed screwdrivers are designed to tighten
screws with slotted heads.
5. Cross-head or Phillips screwdrivers use X-shaped
bits are designed to ride out or came out under strain to prevent
over-tightening.
6.
Fixed size drives are
designed to accept one-size drives.
Adjustable size drives have an adjustable mouth for different sized drives.
Adjustable size drives have an adjustable mouth for different sized drives.
Mounting Options
Some industrial
screwdrivers are designed for mounting in a fixed position. Others, such as
cylindrical and pistol grip models, are handheld and portable.
Features
1. Industrial screwdrivers provide many ergonomic
and safety features that are also designed to improve productivity and
reliability.
2. Small chamber of oil is designed to absorb “kicks” to
the operator while reducing cam outputs and possible damage to the repaired
product.
3. Devices with an automatic shutoff feature also provide controlled levels of
speed and torque.
4. Low-voltage industrial screwdrivers are commonly
available.
5. A magnetic
head can be included for picking up screws made of materials such
as iron.
6. A vacuum
pump can be included for picking up screws made of nonmagnetic
materials such as stainless steel and plastic.
7. Automatic feeds present the screw to the driver head.
8. Integral transducers are used to provide torque feedback.
Hardware extensions are used to lengthen bits.
9. Soft stop, a mode in which tightening softens as screws
approach final torque, is another important feature to consider.
Standards
Industrial
screwdrivers must adhere to certain standards and specifications to ensure
proper design and functionality.
1. UL 7700-2-2: Portable pneumatic tools and
particular requirements for screwdrivers, ratchets and impacts wrenches.
2. BS EN 60745-2-2: Hand-held motor-operated
electric tools and particular requirements for screwdrivers and impact
wrenches.
The products are proven to be of high quality and
reliable across industry standards and always had been appraised by its users.
