The AST-700, a bottom-side screw fastening work cell from Promation, is designed to offer manufacturers the ability to selectively fasten components using screws from the bottom side after odd-form placement. The work cell uses a bowl-style feeding system with blow feeder to automatically present and drive screws into the desired locations. This high-precision robotic gantry system offers fully programmable X, Y & Z motion with in-line conveyor, positive PCB stop location/clamping, and programmable fastening locations. The screwdriver system incorporates a second chance feature with screw detection and purge function to prevent false error. While a variety of different drivers may be designed into the work cell, HIOS drivers and Nitto Seiko are standard.
