WHERE IT FITS
Ideal Applications
Screwdriving looks solved until the fastener has a finish on it. Then the question is whether you can hit rate without marking the screw or the part on the way in.
ZEL step feeders are usually what decides it. They lift and singulate each screw rather than tumbling it, so the head reaches the driver with its finish intact. Feeding is where cosmetic damage happens, not driving.
On the driving side, SER and SEB fixtured spindles run automated stations, SEV-C and SEV-P suit cobots and lightweight robots, and HSP and HSE handheld drivers cover semi-automated benches where a person still holds the tool.
Fixtured systems run roughly 50 to 75 cycles per minute. Send us the fastener and the volume and we will spec the system.

THE COST OF WAITING
What to put next to the equipment cost
The equipment quote is the easy half. These are the lines that usually go missing, and you are the only one who can fill them in:
Labor on the task. Hours per shift, at your fully loaded rate.
The rate ceiling. What the manual step caps your throughput at.
Scrap and rework. What manual variation costs you per thousand parts.
Changeover. Time lost every time the part changes.
The hiring problem. Turnover, training, and the weeks the job sits open.
Exposure. Repetitive lift, pinch points, and what one recordable costs you.
We will give you the equipment side early enough that it can sit in the same document.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Common questions
What areas do you support WEBER screwdriving in?
M6 Revolutions is the WEBER Screwdriving rep for Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. We spec the head, the feed, and the process locally, and stock the consumables that keep them running.
How does WEBER feed screws to the tool?
Continuously, and that's the difference: screws are singulated and blown or shuttled to the driver so the next fastener is already waiting when the last one seats. WEBER's swivel-arm step feeders even stage the next screw while the current one is still driving. The operator or robot never picks up a screw, and rundown rates reach 50 to 75 screws a minute on fixtured systems.
What is step feeding and why does it matter?
A step feeder lifts fasteners on a blade in singulated steps instead of circulating them in a vibratory bowl. That's gentler on finishes, quieter, and it feeds the short, tumble-prone, odd-head, and headless fasteners that jam ordinary bowls, up to M16 and 160 mm long. If your screw has ever been called unfeedable, this is the technology that feeds it.
At what volume does automated screwdriving pay off?
WEBER's own thresholds: a handheld feed driver becomes economical around 20,000 fasteners a year, and a fixtured station takes over beyond roughly 50,000. Bring the screw and the annual volume and the system sizes itself.
Can WEBER feed my short or odd screws?
Usually yes, and this is exactly where they're strong. Set screws and nuts run through the same feeding, and WEBER's inserting systems press in pins, clips, and inserts. Send the fastener and we'll confirm the feed.
How do I document torque and angle on every screw?
The C30S controller stores the driving program and logs torque, angle, and depth per fastener, with transducer redundancy to VDI/VDE 2862 where the joint is safety-critical. That record is what automotive, medical, and aerospace audits ask to see.
What wears out on a screwdriving system, and do you stock it?
Bits, feed components, and the normal consumable tail. We stock them, which is why a worn bit stays a quick call instead of a line-down. It's also why our WEBER customers tend to stay WEBER customers.
