Abstract: A device is provided for the automated production of screw connections, and includes an articulated robot with an output element and an end link. The output element is arranged on the end link so as to be rotatable around an effector axis (wE). A screwdriver tool is provided, and can be rotated around the effector axis (wE) by the output element. At least one gear may also be provided, where the gear has a direct operative connection to the output element and the screwdriver tool and is set up for transmission of a rotary speed between the output element and the screwdriver tool.

Abstract: An apparatus for the automated production of screw connections, having an articulated-arm robot and an effector, which is accommodated on an output element of an end member of the articulated-arm robot so as to be rotatable about an effector axis. The effector is in the form of a screwdriving tool, wherein the apparatus has a mouthpiece for providing a screw, the mouthpiece being accommodated on the end member by means of a linear guide and being movable along the effector axis between a feeding position and at least one screwing position.
