What is the function of Screwdriver Machine?

2025-09-04

In modern industrial manufacturing, efficiency, precision, and consistency are crucial. Screwdriver machines are designed to meet these demands, replacing manual screw tightening with an automated solution, achieving up to 300% productivity while eliminating human error. Zhiheng AUTOMATION specializes in designing rugged, fully automatic, semi-automatic, and handheld screwdriver machines. Let's take a look at their functions.

Screwdriver Machine

Core Functions of Screwdriver Machines

Precision Tightening: Ensures constant torque and depth control with an accuracy of ±0.01 N·m, effectively preventing assembly errors.

High-Speed Operation: Processes 30-60 screws per minute, compared to the 5-10 per minute of manual operation, significantly reducing assembly time.

Reduced Labor and Costs: Replaces 3-5 workers per shift, reducing labor costs by 40-70%.

Quality Assurance: Screwdriver Machines can detect missing screws, cross-threading, or insufficient torque in real time.


Applications of Screwdriver Machines

Electronic Products: Smartphones, printed circuit boards, cameras, hard drives.

Automotive: Instrument panels, sensors, lighting systems. Consumer Goods: Toys, printers, home appliances, power tools.

Medical Devices: Surgical instruments, diagnostic equipment housings.

FAQ

Q1: What is the main function of an automatic screwdriver machine?

A1: Its core function is to precisely and automatically complete screw insertion and tightening tasks. It feeds, places, drives, and verifies screws without operator intervention—increasing assembly speed by 400%, ensuring uniform torque, and reducing reliance on labor in large-scale production environments such as automotive or electronics production lines.


Q2: How do screwdriver machines improve product quality?

A2: Integrated torque sensors and AI vision systems ensure that every screw is perfectly seated. The machine detects defects (such as stripped threads and misaligned parts) in real time, achieving a first-pass pass rate of up to 99.9%. This effectively avoids recalls caused by loose screws.


Q3: Can the screwdriver machine handle complex or miniature components?

A3: Absolutely. Our screwdriver machine can process screws as small as M0.6 (0.6mm diameter), suitable for devices such as hearing aids or micro-optics. Multi-axis models accommodate tilted or recessed screw points, while vision-guided systems maintain screw alignment accuracy to within ±0.05 mm.
