How to operate an electric screwdriver? Quick action for 3 minutes to take you through

2022-05-14

Electric screwdriver is what we usually refer to as an electric screwdriver, mainly used to tighten or loosen screws. However, unlike ordinary screwdrivers, it is driven by electricity and can be used in conjunction with manufacturing lines, with a high degree of automation. It is not complicated to use, but there are also some precautions. How to operate an electric screwdriver specifically? SUDONG Quick Action Intelligence, which focuses on digital tightening technology, will briefly introduce the operating steps of a dual axis (or multi axis) automatic locking screw machine and the operation of an electric screwdriver.

Firstly, we need to understand the functions of dual or multi axis locking screw machines? As part of intelligent manufacturing, automatic screw locking machines are widely used, and their existence can be seen in almost all manufacturing lines. It can achieve: 1) automatic feeding for manufacturing production lines; 2) Incoming inspection; 3) Material shortage alarm; 4) Intelligent counting; 5) Automatic manual exchange; 6) Practical functions such as automatic locking and payment that significantly improve production efficiency.


The operation steps are as follows:

1. Connect the power and air source;

2. Turn on the power switch button and set the automatic manual button to automatic;

3. Place the workpiece (or product) at the locking station;

4. Press the manual start buttons on both sides simultaneously;

5. Remove the locked workpiece (or product);

6. Repeat steps 3, 4, and 5.


To stop, press the stop button; If you hear an alarm prompt, it indicates that the screws in the hopper have been used up. You need to press the stop button, remove the top cover of the feeder, and put in the corresponding specifications of screws.

The above are the operating steps for a dual axis (or multi axis) automatic locking screw machine. Next, let's talk about the operation of the electric screwdriver body, which is mainly divided into three steps.

1. Installation of blade: The sliding hook of the suspension balancer should be able to move left and right, ensuring that the blade of the electric screwdriver is perpendicular to the workbench and in line with the screw when rotating.

a) Press down the blade locking sleeve; b) Insert the blade, align it with the slot, and install it in place; c) Release the locking sleeve of the blade and push and pull the blade to see if it is properly installed; d) If it cannot be pulled out, it indicates that it has been installed.

2. Hand grip posture:

a) Hold the electric screwdriver with your right hand facing upwards, and press your index finger onto the trigger of the electric screwdriver.

b) When switching the direction switch of the electric screwdriver, rotate the right thumb clockwise by 90 degrees, press it on the electric screwdriver direction switch, and toggle the direction switch to switch the direction of the blade rotation. Move the toggle switch downwards, and the blade will rotate clockwise. At this point, the electric screwdriver is in the ready state to insert the screw, otherwise it is in the ready state to exit the screw.

c) Pinch the screw with the left thumb, index finger, and middle finger. Choose one of the index and middle fingers (check which finger the screw falls on when pinching the screw from the workpiece box), work with the thumb, pinch the screw, turn the screw, and make the screw head face up with the blade facing down.

d) Send the screw to the tip of the blade, and insert the cross shaped electric screwdriver into the cross slot of the screw cap. The blade is magnetic and can hold the screw. Release the left hand and align the screw tip with the target screw hole. Place the electric screwdriver directional switch in the prepared state for inserting the screw, turn on the electric screwdriver, and gently press it down as the screw rotates to insert the screw into the screw hole. Otherwise, exit the screw.



3. Torque adjustment:

a) Red small electric screwdriver: When adjusting the torque, push the nut upwards and then rotate it (clockwise to reduce the torque, counterclockwise to increase the torque). After rotating it in place, put down the nut (this structure of electric screwdriver has stable force).

b) Other electric screwdrivers can directly rotate the nut (clockwise rotation reduces torque, counterclockwise rotation increases torque) (This structure of electric screwdrivers is prone to changes in strength, and after adjustment, the nut must be fixed at the lower end of the electric screwdriver body with wrinkled tape).
