Model AP-107 Part Placer complete with hopper feeder, inclined feed track, twostage transfer escapement, and column. Model AP-107 Model AP-107 Part Placer with 175 pounds (778N) pressing force, tooled to feed, place, and press special truss headed fasteners into saw handles. The square shank section below the head is pressed into saw handles to keep the fastener from rotating. Model AP-171 Proven Reliability Retoolable Part Placement Verification Low Maintenance These Auto-fed Part Placers are designed to provide higher production rates than basic Pick & Place models. Placement rates up to 80 per minute are obtainable. The placing heads are available with strokes from 2-inches (50.8mm) to 5-inches (127mm). A two-stage transfer escapement assures positive insertion of each piecepart into the placement jaws. The placement jaws are mechanically opened as each piecepart is properly placed into the workpiece with verification sensing. Each model is selected based on the assembly application. The Model AP-107 Part Placer is primarily used for operator assisted workstations. Tooling will provide for pieceparts up to.56-inch (14mm) in diameter, and lengths up to 1-inch (25.4mm). All of the AP- 100 Series Placing Heads have a pressing force ranging from 40 pounds (178 N) to 175 pounds (778 N) at 90 PSI (6.3 Bar). An optional load cell can monitor pressing force. Model AP-110 Two Model AP-110 Part Placers on 5-inch centers tooled to feed and press different sized rivets into a clutch plate sub-assembly. Model AP-110 Part Placer tooled to feed, place, and press a round head drive screw to retain a nameplate on a casting. Model AP-171 Robotic Placer Head complete with Trav-a-track and two-stage escapement. The Head is positioned by a Cartesian Robot to place 13 pal nut inserts into an automotive panel. Model AP-110 Part Placers are furnished with vibratory bowl feeders up to 36 inches (914mm) in diameter. Vibratory feed systems will have cast bowls or stainless steel bowls.

12 Model SD 122 Screw/Nut Drivers Model SD with Inclined Feed Track Dimensional Data 5.00" 26.0" REF 6.00" 3.50" 24.0" REF Typical Driving Applications Model SD Screw/Nut Driver with Sound Enclosure over Feeder and Supply Hopper The Model SD 122 Screw/Nut Drivers are designed to drive threaded parts horizontally. Depending upon the geometry of the threaded part or fastener, the method of transferring the part to the placement jaws from the feeder may vary considerably. The mounting structure for the feed system and driver must be designed accordingly. This mounting structure can allow the driving head to be positioned at almost any angle to suit the customer s requirements. The Model SD-122 Screw/Nut Driver is available with 2 in. (51mm), 3 in. (76mm), 4 in. (1O2mm), and 5 in. (127mm) head strokes. This Screw/Nut Driver can be furnished with a range of driving speeds and torque capacities using either DC electric or pneumatic motors. A torque and depth sensing control verifies when a fastener is properly driven during each driving cycle. Torque control settings range from 4 inch-lbs. (.5 Nm) to 120 inch-lbs. (13.5Nm). Torque accuracy can be achieved in various ways depending on the torque requirement and specific driving application. Mechanical and electrical clutches satisfy a range wide of torque specifications, in addition to "stall" torque and DC electric torque/angle applications. Depth settings can be held to plus or minus two (2) turns with standard tooling. Closer depth tolerances can be achieved with optional controls. 4.25" MIN MT G HT. 6.8" APPROX.

Model AP-107 Model AP-107 Part Placer with 175 pounds (778N) pressing force, tooled to feed, place, and press special truss headed fasteners into saw handles. The square shank section below the head is pressed into saw handles to keep the fastener from rotating. Model AP-171 Proven Reliability Retoolable Part Placement Verification Low Maintenance These Auto-fed Part Placers are designed to provide higher production rates than basic Pick & Place models. Placement rates up to 80 per minute are obtainable. The placing heads are available with strokes from 2-inches (50.8mm) to 5-inches (127mm). A two-stage transfer escapement assures positive insertion of each piecepart into the placement jaws. The placement jaws are mechanically opened as each piecepart is properly placed into the workpiece with verification sensing. Each model is selected based on the assembly application. The Model AP-107 Part Placer is primarily used for operator assisted workstations. Tooling will provide for pieceparts up to.56-inch (14mm) in diameter, and lengths up to 1-inch (25.4mm). All of the AP- 100 Series Placing Heads have a pressing force ranging from 40 pounds (178 N) to 175 pounds (778 N) at 90 PSI (6.3 Bar). An optional load cell can monitor pressing force.

36 AO 700 Series Placer/Presses Auto-Feed Orient Place Press Check Dixon AO-700 Placer/Presses use an air-oil intensifier cylinder to place and press a wide range of piece parts. Parts are automatically oriented and fed into the press by one of several styles of feed systems. A standard feature on all Dixon models assures positive escapement of the piece part into the placement jaws which then hold the part until it begins engagement in the workpiece. At this point, the high pressure hydraulic stroke is activated to complete the pressing cycle. A part sensing switch verifies presence and correct placement of the piecepart. The pressing force is adjustable. Strokes up to 6 inches and forces up to 9 tons are standard. Other forces and strokes are available. When required, a load cell may be added to verify and record that the proper press force was applied. Model AO-711 Placer/Press with Inline Vibratory Feed Track, Bowl, and optional Supply Hopper.
