What is a Danikor automated tightening module and how does it work?

It combines the fastener feeding nozzle with the tightening head in a single unit. It receives the fastener from the feeder, positions it at the tightening point and executes the torque-controlled cycle without operator intervention, closing the automation loop.

What is the difference between Blow Screw, Vacuum and Pick-up tightening modules?

In the Blow Screw module the screw is blown through a tube to the nozzle and tightened; in the Vacuum module the screw is held at the nozzle by suction with a large-capacity vacuum filter. Both accept M2 to M16 screws depending on the nozzle. The Pick-up has no nozzle: it picks the screw with a vacuum suction tube (M2 to M12) and has the shortest cycle, 0.7 s on the 12 Nm version.

What torque range does the Danikor Universal Series tightening module cover?

The Universal Series covers up to 200 Nm: Lightweight (12 Nm), Regular (35 Nm) and High Torque in 80 and 200 Nm versions. Depending on the nozzle it accepts M2 to M16 screws (hexagon head up to M12) and caps up to 27 mm. It is fed by Danikor Step Feeder and Bowl Feeder.

Automated Tightening Modules Danikor

Full-Cycle Automated Assembly

A Danikor automated tightening module closes the automation loop that begins with the screw feeder. The feeder orients and supplies the fastener; the module receives it, positions it at the tightening point and executes the torque-controlled cycle — all without operator intervention.

Universal Series — Three module variants

Blow Screw Module: The fastener is pneumatically transported through a flexible tube from the feeder to the tool nozzle. Cycle from 1.3 s, M2–M16 screws depending on nozzle
Vacuum Module: The screw is held at the nozzle by suction, with a large-capacity vacuum filter for a stable vacuum and longer maintenance intervals. M2–M16 screws depending on nozzle
Pick-up Module: No nozzle: picks the screw with a vacuum suction tube. Shortest cycle in the series (0.7 s at 12 Nm), M2–M12 screws

Available torque ranges

Lightweight: 12 Nm — lower own weight, fits 5 kg collaborative robots
Regular: 35 Nm — body panels, appliances, structural modules
High Torque: 80 Nm and 200 Nm — high-strength joints; detailed specifications on request from Danikor

Nozzle types

The Universal Series supports three nozzle configurations: Normal (Straight Nozzle) for direct access, Swivel Arm Nozzle for angled or laterally obstructed fasteners, and Swivel Mouthpiece Nozzle for difficult-access angled positions.

Blow Screw

Universal Blow Screw Module — Pneumatic Feeding

The fastener is transported by airflow through a flexible tube from the feeder directly to the tool nozzle. Fast cycle from 1.3 s per screw. Available in Lightweight (12 Nm) and Regular (35 Nm) versions.

Lightweight: 12 Nm · cycle 1.3–1.5 s (straight or swivel arm nozzle)
Regular: 35 Nm · cycle 1.3–1.9 s
M2–M16 screws depending on nozzle (D7 to D27) · hexagon head up to M12
Nozzles: Straight · Swivel Arm · Swivel Mouthpiece
Compatible with Step Feeder FDH-SST and Bowl Feeder FDH-SVB
Integration with Danikor controllers CK, CM and CS series

Blow Screw 12 / 35 Nm M2–M16

Vacuum

Universal Vacuum Module — Pressure-Free Retention

The screw is held at the nozzle by suction through a vacuum tube. The large-capacity vacuum filter keeps a stable vacuum value and extends the maintenance interval. Available in Lightweight (12 Nm) and Regular (35 Nm) versions.

Lightweight: 12 Nm · cycle 2.75–4.95 s depending on nozzle
Regular: 35 Nm · cycle from 2.7 s depending on nozzle
M2–M16 screws depending on nozzle (D7 to D27) · hexagon head up to M12
Nozzles: Straight · Swivel Arm · Swivel Mouthpiece
Compatible with Danikor Step Feeder FDH-SST and Bowl Feeder FDH-SVB
Large-capacity vacuum filter: stable vacuum and longer maintenance intervals

Vacuum 12 / 35 Nm M2–M16

Pick-up

Universal Pick-up Module — Suction Pick-up without Nozzle

The module uses no nozzle: it picks the screw directly with a vacuum suction tube and brings it to the tightening point. It is the fastest variant in the Universal Series: 0.7 s on the 12 Nm version and 1.7 s on the 35 Nm version.

Lightweight: 12 Nm · cycle 0.7 s
Regular: 35 Nm · cycle 1.7 s
No nozzle — vacuum suction tube and vacuum base plate
M2–M12 standard or combination screws and M3–M12 hexagon head screws
Compatible with Step Feeder FDH-SST and Bowl Feeder FDH-SVB
For hexagon heads, the module is selected by the screw's across-flats size

Pick-up 12 / 35 Nm M2–M12

High Torque

Universal High Torque Module — 80 Nm and 200 Nm

High torque version of the Danikor Universal Series for large fasteners and high-strength joints. Available in 80 Nm and 200 Nm versions, with detailed specifications on request from Danikor. Compatible with Blow Screw, Vacuum and Pick-up modules.
