DEPRAG Feed Module (DFM)

Feed Module (DFM)

Smaller and smarter!  Automatic feed for special assembly tasks.

The DEPRAG Feed Module (DFM) combines an ergonomic handheld screwdriver with automatic screw feed to the Vibratory Bowl Feeder, Sword Feeder, or eacy Step Feeder.

Screws and nuts are positioned mechanically and secured by vacuum suction making it easier for the operator to access hard-to-reach screw positions. Integrated stroke mechanics use cylinders to precisely control the application pressure required for the fastener.  This enables easier handling and fatigue-free assembly. 

Benefits of the DEPRAG Feed Module in Manufacturing:

Ergonomic
  • fatigue-free handling due to the integrated bit stroke
Process Reliability
  • constant pressure force
  • automatic documentation
  • analog depth sensing
Efficiency
  • optimized cycle time
  • automatic feeding of fasteners
  • fast screw positioning with integrated lock stroke
  • integrated sequence controller with feeding system
  • no PLC required
Flexibility
  • adjustable screwdriving parameters
  • for both fixtured and manual applications
  • for both electronic and pneumatic drivers
  • two execution types available - long and short
Maintenance Friendly
  • quick change of bit and positioning sleeves without tools
Low Weight
  • pairs well with lightweight robots
A Complete Solution
  • Combine with any DEPRAG feeding systems and screwdriving tools
