Wire Thread Insert Screwdriving System

Enables the precise placement of all major insert types

The STÖGER Wire Thread Insert Screwdriving System (DGS-Evo) is a fully automated system specifically developed for installing wire thread inserts (e.g., HELICOIL®) in series  production. This technology is increasingly used in the field of GigaCasting & Unicasting. It enables  fast, precise, and process-safe installation of these inserts directly from bulk material, without the use of magazines or strips.

Key Features:

• Integrated system technology: Includes feeding and control systems
• Modular design: Reduces spare parts costs and total cost of ownership (TCO); simplifies staff training
• Electric axial drive: Accurate depth measurement and maximum speed for highest quality with short cycle times
• 200 mm tool overtravel: Also reliable for difficult-to-access positions
• Intuitive process adjustment: Simple setup via HMI – individually configurable
• Oriented feeding: Secure and precise positioning of wire thread inserts
• Performance on demand: Expandable system architecture for maximum future security
• Flexible use: Can be integrated directly on a robot or as an external tool

Setting & riveting:

Special requirements: Automated processing with know-how

High demands have to be met when it comes to automatic setting and riveting applications. A variety of machines specially designed for setting, pressing or riveting of almost any kind of fasteners complement the STÖGER product range. No matter which application, all STÖGER models for setting or riveting tasks convince through their properties - time-saving due to short cycle times, easy handling and servicing, highly reliable due to superior technology and by maintaining and monitoring quality parameters. Equipped with automatic feed and control units, STÖGER setting and riveting systems meet the requirements of advanced assembly systems.

Your advantage:

• Checking of the functionality of the thread during spindling on and off, defectively detected rivets are automatically ejected and replaced
• STÖGER positioning compensation ensures exact positioning in the workpiece, patented 6-edge finding method
• 100 % success control thanks to force and distance sensor
• Commercially available standard screw as drawing tool, automatic breakage detection, tool-free changing of the drawing tool possible in 10 seconds

Automatic Tool-Changing Solution for Multiple Types of Fasteners

Feed Units

precise and fast: automatic feed systems by STÖGER AUTOMATION

No matter which connecting element: STÖGER feed units ensure a trouble-free supply of the fastener to hand-held screwdrivers, automatic screwdrivers and other systems at any time. Our feed systems advantageously operate with short cycle times of up to 100 fastening elements per minute. Depending on their properties our prime quality systems come in various sizes, capacities and models. They provide a fill level control and a hopper for automatic refilling of the system, as well as a detachable acoustic cover for reducing the noise level and ensuring quick access.

Your advantages:

• distance between screwdriver and feed unit of more than 20m possible
• acoustic cover for noise reduction, detachable for quick access
• singling mechanism: smooth transfer between output rail and single screw selecting mechanism
• extremely efficient due to quick tool-free maintenance
• high cycle times of up to 80 fasteners per minute
