Why Choose Atlas Copco’s Tightening-Centric Feeders?
Minimize errors & defects
Automating fastener delivery ensures perfect alignment and the torque process is met a higher rates (reducing cross threads).
Build more products
Processes speeds up reducing takt time and increasing throughput.
Enhanced ergonomics & safety
Reduce worker fatigue and risk of strain to operators.
Reduce labor costs
Fastener feeders can take pick/place tasks away from operators and reduce overhead.
Reduce waste
Operators drop fasteners, and then they sweep them into the trash at the end of the night.
Stay competitive
Competitors are also looking for similar advantages to gain speed, quality and efficiency in production.
