Screwdriving and Riveting Assembly

RSS

Engineers at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) have developed new materials and production methods to reduce the amount of aluminum used in airframes.

The TW Series spring balancer suspends heavy tools through cable tension.

Enhancements aimed at reducing Toyota’s carbon footprint have also benefited screwdriving, ergonomics and quality.

Cartesian gantry system feeds bolts, threaded bushings and support plates to injection molding machine.

Since EV manufacturing is a relatively new industry, experienced assemblers are few and far between. Error-proofing technology is therefore critical to ensure quality and safety.  

A new control system enables robots to handle variance in shape, position, color and light conditions in the work space.

In most assemblies that are joined with threaded fasteners, the cost of the fasteners is not as important as the cost of installing them. Automation is one way to control that cost—but only if assemblers think ahead.

This eBook series will help manufacturers navigate the path to automation, whether it be a robotic screwdriving cell or a multistation automated assembly line.

Threaded fasteners are the most common method of product assembly. The primary advantage of threaded fasteners is that they permit disassembly of the parts for repair or recycling.
