  • Publication number: 20120055009
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for automatically connecting two workpieces by means of fasteners, the device having a magazine for receiving the fasteners. In order to improve a device for automatically connecting two workpieces to the effect that supplying the fasteners is less personnel- and cost-intensive, the invention proposes that a fastener nest (7) be provided whose lower side can be coupled to the upper side of the magazine, the fastener nest comprising openings for inserting the fasteners and the openings being blockable and unblockable at their lower ends.
