Main Components of the Fixtured Screw Feeding System
The individual components or the system composition can be customer specific, and may therefore differ from the components shown here.
The Fixtured Screw Feeding System consists of the following main components (Bit Stroke):
No. | Component | Function |
1 | Screw Feeding Tightening Module
| To carry out the tightening process. |
2 | Power Focus 6000 | To control and monitor the screw tightening process. |
3 | Screw Feeding Unit | To transport, sort, separate, and feed the screws into the Fixtured Tightening Module using compressed air. |
4 | Valve Control Unit | To control the electrical connections and pneumatic connections including the valves and fieldbus. |
5 | Tool Cable | Electrical connection between the Power Focus 6000 and the Fixtured Tightening Module |
6 | Air Connection | Air connection between the Valve Control Unit and the Screw Feeding Unit. |
7 | Air Connection | Air Connection for Forward and Return Bit Stroke between the Fixtured Tightening Module and the Valve Control Unit. |
8 | Connection Cable | Electrical connection between the Power Focus 6000 and the Screw Feeding Unit. Once the Power Focus 6000 is switched ON, the screw feeding unit gets an activation signal. |
9 | Fieldbus Connection | Electrical connection between the Power Focus 6000 and the Screw Feeding Unit. |
10 | Feeding Tube | Pneumatic transport of screws from the Screw Feeding Unit to the Fixtured Tightening Module |
11 | Signal Line | Communication between the Screw Feeding Unit and the Valve Control Unit. |
12 | Signal Line | Electrical connection between the Fixtured Tightening Module and the Valve Control Unit. The ring sensor detects the screws at the end of the Feeding Tube. |
13 | Signal Line | Electrical connection between the Fixtured Tightening Module and the Valve Control Unit. The inductive sensor is for the Bit Stroke retracted position. |
The Fixtured Screw Feeding System consists of the following main components (Head Stroke):
No. | Component | Function |
1 | Fixtured Tightening Module

8 | Connection Cable | Electrical connection between the Power Focus 6000 and the Screw Feeding Unit. Once the Power Focus 6000 is switched ON, the screw feeding unit gets an activation signal. |
9 | Fieldbus Connection | Electrical connection between the Power Focus 6000 and the Screw Feeding Unit. |
10 | Feeding Tube | Pneumatic transport of screws from the Screw Feeding Unit to the Fixtured Tightening Module. |
11 | Signal Line | Communication between the Screw Feeding Unit and the Valve Control Unit. |
12 | Signal Line | Electrical connection between the Fixtured Tightening Module and the Valve Control Unit. The ring sensor detects the screws at the end of the Feeding Tube. |
13 | Signal Line | Electrical connection between the Fixtured Tightening Module and the Valve Control Unit. The inductive sensor is for the Head Stroke retracted position. |
14 | Signal Line | Electrical connection between the Fixtured Tightening Module and the Valve Control Unit. The inductive sensor is for the Head Stroke extended position. |
15 | Signal Line | Electrical connection between the Fixtured Tightening Module and the Valve Control Unit. The inductive sensor is for the Head Stroke retracted position. |
