Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of screw fastening technology, and in particular to an online dual-track fastening robot. Background Technology

[0002] Screw fastening is based on the principle of threaded connection, utilizing the friction between the screw and nut (or pre-drilled hole) to achieve fixation. When the screw is screwed into the threaded hole, the interaction between the threads generates a clamping force, causing the connected parts to fit tightly together. It is widely used in mechanical manufacturing, electronic equipment assembly, building structures, and other fields. This process not only requires precise matching between the screw and the threaded hole, but also needs to consider factors such as the properties of the materials, the type and specifications of the screw, and the magnitude of the applied torque. The quality of screw fastening directly affects the safety and service life of the final product. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly follow the specifications in actual operation.

[0003] Existing screw fastening machines typically use a single fastening head to fasten products. However, some specific products require two types of screws to be fastened, which means that during the processing, the operator needs to change the screw fastening machine to the corresponding fastening head in order to fasten the second type of screw. It is impossible to fasten two types of screws at the same time.

[0004] Furthermore, since the machine needs to be stopped when changing the locking head, downtime is increased and production efficiency is reduced. Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the applicant proposes an online dual-track locking robot to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
