Hi all,
On our 3 axis mills we currently make a lot of parts out of various sheets of acetal and PVC from 3mm to 6mm thick. All sorts of shapes and most of the time these parts require screwing down to the large fixture using holes in the parts (can range from using M2 to M4 threads).
One sheet can mean 200 screws or so which we currently do by hand using a Dewalt gyroscopic electric screwdriver on the lowest torque setting.
Does anyone know of a screwdriver attachment we can load in the spindle, set a torque, and run a tapping cycle on all the screws (after inserting the screws a couple of turns by hand first)? The attachment should have a built in spring so it cannot keep driving the screw into the part.
Or do I buy a torque screwdriver and make an attachment myself?
Thanks.
