Semi-Automated Screw Tightening Assembly Station
Semi-Automated screw machines are ideal for medium to high volume applications. The closed loop torque-controlled system validates the manufacturing process requirements prior to releasing the part to the operator. Auto feed vibratory bowl delivers the screws to the driver within a second. Integrated barcode scanner provides traceability and data export to plant MES networks.
- ASG-SD2500 Transducerized Closed Loop Torque Controlled Driver and X-PAQ™ Controller
- Auto Feed Screw System, with vibratory, low noise coated feeder bowls
- Linear Torque Arm and Tool Balancer
- Proface™ HMI for Operator Interface which Includes UUT Recipe Editor and Maintenance Screens
- Integrated Barcode Scanner for Data Logging Torque Values and Serial Numbers to your MES System
- Optional Locking bowl feeder with bar code access to prevent screw mixing.
- AGI’s Controls Engineers prefer PLC’s: Allen Bradley™, Omron™, Mitsubishi™

Integrating an X-PAQ™ with a torque arm with absolute encoders provides feedback to disable or enable the handheld tool based upon preprogrammed locations for proper Fastener Sequence.
