What is feeding technology?
Feeding technology refers to the area of automation technology that deals with the automated provision and positioning of fasteners for subsequent production or assembly processes. It ensures that components are sorted, separated and provided in the correct position for further processing. Areas of application include:
- Automotive industry/mechanical engineering: Automatic feeding of clips, nuts, screws and connectors
- Medical technology: Hygienic and high-precision feeding of parts in clean room class D
- Electrical industry: Precise separation of micro screws and PCB components
- Aerospace industry: Precise feeding of rivets
FAQs
Yes, DEPRAG feeding systems are fully compatible with DEPRAG screwdriving technology. Connection to screwdrivers from other manufacturers is also possible after consultation. Our sophisticated system solutions combine screwdriving tools and feeding technology from a single source, whereby all components are comprehensively tested and optimally matched to each other.
A feeding system can serve several screwdrivers or setting units. This is done via multiple separations or multiple distributors, which make it possible to supply several systems with screws at the same time. However, it must be ensured that the required cycle time can be maintained. If the required cycle rate cannot be achieved with a single feed system, several feed systems must be used.
