Abstract:
The invention relates to attachments for industrial robotic equipment and in particular relates to screw driver attachments for standalone or collaborative robots. A screwdriver apparatus for a robotic arm is provided, the apparatus being suitable for installing screws of a known pitch into a component, the apparatus comprising a screw driving tool having a shaft rotatable about a central axis, the shaft having a distal end with a tip suitable for engaging with a screw, the shaft further having a proximal end connected to both a tool rotation apparatus and a tool linear movement apparatus, wherein the tool rotation apparatus and the tool linear movement apparatus are arranged to cooperate such that the tool tip is maintained at a constant pre-defined distance in relation to the screw when in use.
