Feeding of screws, rivets, bolts

Feeding of screws, rivets, bolts

Whether it’s mechanical joining through riveting, flow-drill screws (FDS), or stud welding – fast, precise, and reliable feeding systems are essential throughout body construction. Components such as bolts or rivets are often delivered into the robot cell via long external feed hoses – directly to the tool on the wrist axis.

Typical challenges

• Robot movement places significant mechanical stress on supply hoses
• Regular replacement required → high maintenance costs
• Hose routing must be tight and secure, yet accessible
• Risk of kinking or abrasion if poorly installed
