AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing methods for inserting threaded inserts into plastic workpieces face challenges due to thread stripping and require manual handling, which complicates the process and limits cycle efficiency.
Method used
A device with a downpipe and catch mechanism automatically aligns and transfers threaded inserts onto a mandrel for insertion, decoupling manual placement from the insertion process, allowing for automated welding into the workpiece bore.
Benefits of technology
The device simplifies the placement of threaded inserts, enabling high-cycle rate operations by eliminating manual handling and ensuring secure, efficient insertion and welding into plastic workpieces.

Abstract
Device for inserting a threaded insert (18) into a bore (16), with a mandrel (10) axially displaceable in a working direction (A), which has a holder (34) for holding the threaded insert (18) when inserted into the bore (16), characterized by a feeding aid which has a downpipe (26) for the threaded insert (18) and a catch (22) arranged at the lower end of the downpipe, which has a receptacle (24) for the threaded insert (18) in its circumferential wall and is rotatable about an axis extending transversely to the working direction (A) of the mandrel (10) and displaceable in a direction parallel to this axis.
