  • Patent number: 11786996
    Abstract: The screwdriving system for connection of components that require high contact pressures for their screw connection, having a screwdriving unit which is connected to an articulated robot, wherein the screwdriving unit contains a motor for the rotary drive, an actuator for the linear drive, a gear mechanism, a torque shaft, a tool holder for a screwdriving tool and a feed head which is supplied with screws, which are held in the feed head during the screwing-in operation, the tool holder, the screwdriving tool and the feed head being arranged on a common screw axis, includes an articulated bearing arrangement, the pivoting of which is able to compensate for a deflection of a robot axis of the articulated robot caused by contact pressures and for a tilted position of the screwdriving unit resulting therefrom.

  • Patent number: 7346970
    Abstract: The setting device for blind rivet nuts is characterized by an electric motor with a drive shaft which is arranged in a first housing part and connected via a transmission means to a tool housing part which is arranged in parallel with the drive shaft, a tool shaft which is arranged in the tool housing part and to which a tool is non-rotationally connected, a locking means with which the tool housing part and the tool shaft can be non-rotationally coupled, an anti-rotation means with which the tool shaft can be blocked against rotation, and a spindle means which in the rotation-blocked state of the tool shaft creates a relative axial movement between the tool shaft and the tool housing part. The locking means and the anti-rotation means are preferably formed by a joint coupling means.
