METHOD OF OPERATING FASTENING APPARATUS AND FASTENING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17991449 titled 'METHOD OF OPERATING FASTENING APPARATUS AND FASTENING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a fastening apparatus that consists of multiple fastening tools and three movement mechanisms. The first movement mechanism rotates the fastening tools in a circular direction, the second movement mechanism moves the tools in a radial direction, and the third movement mechanism moves the tools vertically.
- The first movement mechanism utilizes a closed-curve guide unit to define the rotation route of the fastening tools.
- The second movement mechanism enables the fastening tools to move in a radial direction.
- The third movement mechanism allows the fastening tools to move vertically.
Potential Applications
- Manufacturing and assembly lines
- Construction and building industries
- Automotive and aerospace industries
Problems Solved
- Enables efficient and precise fastening of components in various industries.
- Provides flexibility in positioning and movement of fastening tools.
- Reduces the need for manual labor and increases automation in fastening processes.
Benefits
- Increased productivity and efficiency in fastening operations.
- Improved accuracy and precision in fastening tasks.
- Enhanced flexibility and adaptability in different fastening scenarios.
Original Abstract Submitted
A fastening apparatus includes: a plurality of fastening tools; a first movement mechanism configured to rotate the plurality of fastening tools in a circumferential direction; a second movement mechanism configured to rectilinearly move the plurality of fastening tools in a radial direction; and a third movement mechanism configured to rectilinearly move the plurality of fastening tools in a vertical direction. In particular, the first movement mechanism includes a closed-curve guide unit having a closed-curve shape and configured to define a route along which the plurality of fastening tools rotates in the circumferential direction.
