An angle screw feeding device comprises a screw feeding unit, a screw transporting unit, and a screw driving unit. The device is able to be used with small screws. Further, the device is able to perform an automatic screwing action at any selected angles.

A feeder for a swage gun comprises a collar magazine and a guide-block assembly. The guide-block assembly comprises a guide block that comprises a slot, configured to receive the lock collar from the collar magazine at a first guide-block position along the slot. The guide-block assembly also comprises an actuator, operable to move the lock collar along the slot from the first guide-block position to a second guide-block position. Feeder further comprises a feed tunnel, coupled with the guide-block assembly, and a dispensing bulkhead, coupled with the feed tunnel. Feeder also comprises a gripping assembly, coupled with the dispensing bulkhead.

The disclosure relates to an end effector for a riveting device, wherein the end effector includes a riveting module for placing a rivet element in a structural part, a rivet dispenser for dispensing rivet elements from a rivet magazine and a handling device for delivering a rivet element from the rivet dispenser to the riveting module The handling device includes an adjustment kinematics and a gripper arranged thereon for grabbing the rivet element. In some cases the adjustment kinematics has at least two adjustment axes for positioning the gripper.

An insertion station of a component (2), for example a clevis, in a component seat (12) formed in an assembly (3) to be assembled, for example a hinge assembly for doors, includes a component ordering device (14) to order the loose components coming from a component feed hopper. A component support seat (16) receives the component and is configured in such a way as to guide the component in the horizontal insertion direction. A manipulator (20) picks a component (2) from the component ordering device (14) and deposit the component in the component support seat (16). An insertion actuator (30) has a pusher member (32) operable to push the component (2) in the component seat (12), and a positioning unit (40), including an abutment (42) operable to block the assembly (3) in a component insertion position.

A feeding rod is configured to insert a shaft-shaped component having a circular flange and a shaft portion into a receiving hole. A central axis of the shaft portion is disposed in an inclined state with respect to a central axis of the receiving hole due to the inclined disposition of the feeding rod. A surface of the flange is in close contact with a tip surface of the feeding rod due to an attraction force of a magnet of the feeding rod. A positioning protrusion receives an outer peripheral portion of the flange and sets a relative position between the feeding rod and the shaft-shaped component. A most advanced stop position of the feeding rod is a position where a tip portion of the shaft portion has entered the receiving hole, and the attraction force of the magnet is configured to be eliminated at the stop position.

An example tool is provided that includes an outer housing and an inner housing. The inner housing includes a magnetic element and is structured to travel at least partially within the outer housing under bias of a biasing mechanism. In addition, the inner housing can travel from a retracted position to an extended position. In the extended position, the magnetic element abuts or at least partially occupies a void defined by the outer tip.

A system and method for forming a foundation truss for a box spring or mattress foundation frame includes a first truss rail assembly station having a series of block feeders, a top rail hopper and a filler strip hopper that received stacks of truss components such as blocks, top rails and filler strips and feed such truss components into stacked registration. The stacked truss components are moved into engagement with a series of staplers that secure the filler strips, top rails and blocks together to form first truss rail portions, which are then fed to a second truss rail assembly station where a bottom rail is automatically applied thereto.

A screw supplying module includes a main body, a feeding body and a holding module. The main body includes a second portion, a third portion and a hollow part. The holding module includes a screw chamber, a plurality of clamping pieces, an elastic piece and a fixing piece. The screw chamber includes an input portion, an outer ring wall and an inner space. The plurality of clamping pieces are inserted into the plurality of holes respectively. Accordingly, the plurality of clamping pieces are partially located in the inner space and are partially exposed from the holes of the screw chamber. The elastic piece is sleeved on the outer ring wall, and the elastic piece abuts against the part of the plurality of clamping pieces exposed from the holes. The fixing piece is sleeved on the outer ring wall and is configured to fix the elastic piece.

A system and method for manufacturing a top mount for a vehicle suspension includes providing a top mount body having a bushing opening and a plurality of stud holes, a plurality of knurled studs, and a bushing having a thermoplastic outer shell, a rubber core, and a central washer. The knurled studs are inserted in the stud holes of the top mount body. Then, substantially simultaneously, a pressure is applied to the knurled studs to press the knurled studs into the top mount body to crimp the knurled studs in the stud holes of the top mount body, and to insert the bushing into the bushing opening of the top mount body.

A fastener feed head includes a chute having a feed passage along a feed axis to support and guide fasteners from a chute inlet to a chute outlet connected to a fastener installation head. A carriage is movably attached to the chute along a feed axis. Opposed pawls are pivotably attached to the carriage. The carriage reciprocates along the feed axis between a retracted position and a feed position. The carriage cyclically advances a predetermined number of fasteners from a queue of fasteners in an upstream zone into a queue of fasteners in a downstream zone by: retracting to the retracted position from the feed position; abutting the lead fastener in the upstream queue with the pawls; and, driving the lead fastener with the pawls until the carriage reaches the feed position.
