What robots are used for Screwdriving?

Screwdriving suits SCARA, collaborative robots. Examples include epson g6, universal robots ur5e.

What payload and reach does Screwdriving need?

Payload is typically 1 to 6 kg with reach around 600 to 1000 mm.

What matters most for Screwdriving?

Torque-controlled screwdriver integration. Automatic screw feeder synchronization. Z-axis compliance for hole finding. Fastener presence and torque verification.

Application

Screwdriving

Screwdriving robots drive fasteners with a torque-controlled tool, verifying seating and torque on each screw in an assembly sequence.

The robot positions a screwdriver spindle over each fastener location and drives it to a target torque, often fed by an automatic screw feeder rather than picking screws individually.

Z-axis compliance matters because the screw and the fastener location rarely line up to the micron, so the tool needs a small amount of float to find the hole without cross-threading.

Torque and angle data from each cycle can feed into traceability records, confirming every fastener met spec rather than relying on spot checks.
