Success Stories - Valve terminals for screw feeders
VALVE TERMINALS FOR SCREW FEEDERS
THE CHALLENGE
Screw feeders make manual work easier for people and they ensure a more efficient automated screwdriver or with a screw feeding unit in order to insert screws into wood, plastic, and metal. Using them, screws with head diameters of 5 to 12.5 mm, shank diameters of 2.4 to 6.2 mm, and a length of 10 to 85 mm can be screwed into the various materials. The screw feeders come with a feed rate between 30 and 80 screws per minute, depending on the screw dimensions. The air supply to the connected screwdriver is provided by the maintenance unit integrated in the screw feeding unit, while the air supply to the screw feeding unit is provided either by a BES + S pneumatic control system orby the pneumatic control system of the customer’s own apparatus. Previously, screw feeders required integration of individual control valves and multiple individual screwdrivers for the control system and air supply to function properly.

THE SOLUTION
You can now rely on the EB 80 BOXI to reduce the number of individually installed control valves and the multiple individual screw connections. It’s essentially the baby sister of the electro-pneumatic EB 80 system and features maximum modularity and the option to construct all types and sizes of valve terminals. Relatively few valves are required to control the screw feeders, which is why the EB 80 BOXI is the right valve terminal here. The product solution used includes pneumatic and electrical connections, three 5/2-way valves and two 3/2-way valves, each with 24 VDC.
These days, companies everywhere are faced with the challenge of optimizing assembly processes. For this, we worked with Siegmund Küttler at Riegler & Co. KG to develop a new valve control unit for our screw feeder. We are very satisfied with the way the task was realized and the concrete results we got from the project. Assembly time has been cut by 45 %, and we’ve gained a fair amount of installation space. We can recommend Riegler & Co. KG without reservation.
By utilizing the EB 80 BOXI you can create a visually appealing, easy-to-maintain assembly. Previously, the many different installed parts were more likely to cause leaks, but this risk potential has now been minimized. Control of the individual valves now requires just one multipole cable, and this leads to cost savings in cabling. The entire structure is at once straightforward and easier to handle.
Optimizing the control system significantly reduces oil consumption and also cuts costs. Now oil need only be applied at the required point, and the resulting lower oil mist in the exhaust air not only lowers costs but also has a favorable environmental impact. In addition, there is no longer an oil film inside the screw feeders, meaning there’s significantly less contamination of the machine overall, something which can even extend the service life of the other components.
These and other product solutions are the result of our premium partnership with Metal Work.
Advantages of the products
- Compact design
- Visually appealing assembly
- Quick replacement of the individual valves
- Optimizing the control system significantly reduces oil consumption
