摘要： A system for installing fasteners into a workpiece. The system includes a fastener orientation system and an installation unit. The fastener orientation system receives the fastener from a fastener delivery tube and retains the fastener in a holding jaw. Specifically, the fastener is retained by a plurality of deformable fingers in the holding jaw. The installation unit is coupled to the fastener orientation system and operable to move laterally with respect to the fastener orientation system to provide a force for securing the fastener in the workpiece.

摘要： A fastener catching and installation tool is provided that comprises a guide tube, a slide device, a translating device, and a pivot frame disposed on a frame. Further, catching fingers are disposed within the pivot frame, a slide device activation member is coupled to the slide device, and a translating device activation member is coupled to the translating device. In operation, a fastener is delivered through the guide tube and to the catching fingers, the slide device activation member activates the slide device to slide the pivot frame and the catching fingers proximate a workpiece, and the translating device activation member activates the translating device to insert the fastener into the workpiece. Additionally, the catching fingers are pivotably retained in the tool and comprise first and second catching fingers that define a tapered bore and opposed slots to properly position and catch a plurality of fastener sizes.

摘要： A portable fastener delivery system is provided that comprises an automated unloading mechanism that removes fasteners from a fastener storage device and delivers the fasteners through a delivery conduit to a work station. Generally, the portable fastener delivery system is mobile throughout a production facility so that fasteners may be delivered to a plurality of work stations. In operation, a signal is transmitted to a control system requesting a specific fastener configuration, and the control system causes positioning of the unloading mechanism adjacent the fastener storage device. A pneumatic source is then activated to cause the unloading mechanism to remove a fastener from the fastener storage device using a vacuum generator, and once the fastener is removed, the fastener is transported through a delivery conduit to the work station using pressurized air from the pneumatic source through a flexible fastener delivery tube.

摘要： A fastener delivery and installation system is provided that comprises an end effector mounted on an automated machine and operable to drill a hole through a workpiece and insert a fastener through the hole, and a fastener feed unit operable with the automated machine to deliver the fasteners through the end effector and into the workpiece. Further, a hand-held tool is operable against a second surface of the workpiece and is aligned with the end effector. Once the hand-held tool is positioned properly, a magnetic field is generated and the workpiece is clamped to enable the end effector to drill a hole through the workpiece and insert a fastener therethrough. Additionally, a detector is located on the hand-held tool for generating guidance information to inform an operator where to move the hand-held tool so as to align the hand-held tool with the end effector.

摘要： Fastener clearing systems and methods for a fastener delivery system are provided. In one embodiment, a system includes an extractor tool having one or more vacuum generators in fluid communication with a catcher for retaining fasteners during transport. The vacuum generators are selectively activated to draw fasteners into the catcher. A backflow port is formed in the extractor tool and introduces pressurized air into the catcher to dislodge fasteners that adhere to the catcher after the vacuum generators have been deactivated. The backflow port may be formed in a fitting positioned between vacuum generators and securing the vacuum generators to one another. The vacuum generators and fitting may define a common fluid channel opening into a fastener seat adapted to receive a portion of a fastener.

摘要： The apparatus and method of the present invention provide a quick, simple and accurate manner in which to measure the dimensions or characteristics of a hole without contacting the hole. The apparatus and method of the present invention also automatically detect different materials defining the hole and, therefore, the location of the interface where the materials meet. To measure the characteristics of the hole, the apparatus and method measure the intensities of the light reflected off the hole wall. In addition, the light directed toward the hole wall by the optical fiber may be of the type, such as collimated or focused, to provide distinct reflections that are received and measured by the optical receiver to supply accurate measurements of the hole characteristics.

摘要： A composite fiber placement mid-span redirect device (10) mounted on a fiber placement assembly (12) guides a plurality of composite material tows (14) along a fiber path from a material supply creel (20) to a fiber placement head (30) during a composite forming process. The mid-span redirect device (10) includes a frame assembly (38) to which a plurality of outer swivel roller assemblies (80) and a plurality of inner swivel roller assemblies (90) are attached. Each outer swivel roller assembly (80) contains an outer roller (82), an outer capture roller (84), an outer swivel bracket assembly (86), and a counterbalancing member (88). Each inner swivel assembly (90) contains an inner roller (92), an inner swivel bracket assembly (96), and a counterbalancing member (98). The outer swivel assemblies (80) and inner swivel assemblies (90) work in concert with one another to accommodate six axes of motion from a fiber placement assembly (12), and simultaneously allow the fiber tows (14) to move bi-directionally, both towards the material supply creel (20) and alternately towards the fiber placement head (30), without inducing twisting of the fiber tows (14).
