  • The four center screws DIN 912 M6X18 with threads are used to mount the mounting plate on the intended location. The tightening Torque should be 10 Nm. It is possible to mount the mounting plate either from the front side or from the back side using the four center screws with threads.

  • From the your side, the two pins ISO 8734 - D6X16 in the distance of 4-10mm should be used to align the mounting plate.

  • The two screws DIN 6 912 M8X20 on the left side shown in the above image are used to mount the Fixtured Tightening Module on the mounting plate. The tightening Torque should be 25 Nm.

Below is the reaction force needed for the bit stroke version which has to be absorbed by the external fixture or other movable parts.

WARNING

Moving parts Hazard – Feeding Tubes

Unexpected pneumatic movements of the feeding tubes cause outflows of screws at high speed. This may lead to severe injuries especially to the eyes.

  • Always verify that all connections between the Feeding Tube and the Swivel Arm are securely fastened before pressurizing the tool.

    The pneumatic power supply must be switched off and vented during all work on the Screw Feeding Tightening Module, or the Bit Change mode must be set on the Screw Feeding Unit.

    Always make sure that there are no damages or loose feeding tubes or fittings.

    Always shut off the air supply, drain hose of air pressure, and disconnect tool from air supply when not in use, before changing accessories or when making repairs.

    Never direct air at yourself or anyone else.

    Whenever universal twist couplings are used, lock pins must be installed.

Through the Feeding Tube, the screws are transported by pressurized air from the Screw Feeding Unit to the Swivel Arm of the Fixtured Tightening Module. The Feeding Tube connector is clamped with a fork pressure plate onto the holder. The pressure plate is fixed with two M4x8 Allen screws.
