As much as 75% of an Insert’s performance is the direct result of the
installation method. Therefore, in order to maximize performance, all
of the factors that impact installation must be carefully controlled.
SPIROL’s Model TA Automatic Insert Driver has been designed
to eliminate the dependency on the operator to control these
factors to ensure optimal retention and performance of the Insert.
The operator does not need to physically touch the Insert during the
entire installation process. The Inserts are loaded into a vibratory feeder
and fed automatically to the installation site. Once initiated by the operator, the
insertion unit advances and rotates simultaneously, axially engages the Insert,
and continues to advance to the host component where it taps the Insert to a
preset depth. At this point, the system reverses, unscrews itself, and returns to
the home position. During the unloading and reloading of the host component
the insertion unit resets, and positions an Insert for the next cycle.
