Automated screwing and unscrewing of soundbars

Tooldrives spindle system - suitable for drilling, screwing, deburring

In this customer test, 16 screws had to be unscrewed from the box for the repair of soundbars and screwed back in after the repair. In order to be able to offer our customer a solution, we had to improvise in some places.

To begin with, a suitable gantry robot was selected. To make the screwing process possible, we received a Cobot spindle system from the company Tooldrives, which can be equipped with various attachments. To hold the screws securely, a ring magnet was attached to the bit attachment, which permanently megnetizes the bit. The screw is then rotated into a fixture where it can be picked up again after repair.
