Flexibility and functionality, and high process reliability with low investment costs, these are the industry’s demands to master the control tasks in screwdriving and assembly technologies, which are becoming increasingly complex. With the introduction of their new function control fc20 for pneumatic and electric screwdrivers at the AUTOMATICA in Munich this year, DEPRAG SCHULZ GMBH & Co. has succeeded in satisfying these demands. The automation specialists combined all their expertise in the further development of the fc10 control. The new fc20 impresses with its extensive user-friendliness, its high flexibility and the numerous possibilities of individual screwdriving process configuration. With the introduction of the fc20, DEPRAG is staying true to its company policy – Improving what has proven successful and setting standards through innovation.

The new function control fc20 was developed for use in combination with DEPRAG pneumatic screwdrivers: MICROMAT®-F, MINIMAT®-F and DEPRAG electronic handheld screwdrivers of the 341 series. Their extraordinary diversity makes them unique: screwdriving processes for up to seven sequences of respectively 99 programs each can be created individually. For example the assembly of an electronic component: first task is to screw a transformer with four screws M4 onto the electronic component, the second task is to fix the circuit board to it with two screws M2. In step three the casing is assembled with four screws M6. With the new fc20, which can control up to three different types of screwdriver, high flexibility in the various screwdriving demands of a component can be reached. The controlled execution of all three assembly steps “transformer assembly”, “circuit board installation”, and “casing assembly” are performed in sequence.
