[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a dual-station automatic screw machine to improve the problem that manual repetitive operation of the same action for a long time can easily lead to fatigue, increase manual time consumption, and cause low work efficiency due to long operation intervals in machine operation.

[0019] Optionally, the working component is mounted on the third slider. The working component includes a fixing plate, a fixing ring, and an electric screwdriver. The fixing plate is mounted on the third slider, the fixing ring is mounted on the fixing plate, and the electric screwdriver is fitted inside the fixing ring.
