Product overviewAPP series actuators use vacuum tubes to pick up screws and nuts at defined positions. They are intended for applications where blow-feed is not feasible or for fasteners that cannot be blow-fed.
Key features- Vacuum-tube pickup for screws and nuts
- Floating design for alignment tolerance
- Compatible with inner-drive and outer-drive screw types
- Multiple actuator variants for different pick-and-place/feed needs
- Low operating cost
Product highlights- Compatible with 4 inner-drive screw types
- Compatible with 3 outer-drive screw types
- Max. vacuum tube stick-out stroke: 198 mm
- Variants to suit different feeding and placement requirements
StructureIllustrations and component layouts show vacuum tube routing, mounting interfaces and the floating mechanism that provides alignment compensation.
Application conditionDesigned for use where vacuum pickup is required for screws and nuts, particularly when blow-feed is not applicable or for non-blow-feedable fasteners.
System frameworkThe module integrates into automatic screw feeding and tightening systems as part of a modular framework supporting pick & place, feeding hoppers and tightening modules.
