Vibratory Feeders for screws and components
The vibratory feeder works by separating and feeding the components using the action of a vibration drive. It has a wide range of uses for the various types of materials being fed.
The feeder has the ability to control the amount of components in the feeder’s hopper. It is also possible to attach additional sensors to the feeder in order to accurately monitor the position of the components, and to accelerate the feeding process itself.
Versions:
TIXON-V 0,8-AC: includes both the control unit and the pneumatic valves, feeding initiated by one external instruction, visual feedback for the volume of fastenings, volume 0.8L.
TIXON-V 0,8-NC: includes both the control unit and the pneumatic valves, has to be controlled by an external PLC, visual feedback for the volume of fastenings included, volume 0.8L.
TIXON-V 1,1-AC: includes both the control unit and the pneumatic valves, feeding initiated by one external instruction, visual feedback for the volume of fastenings, volume 1.1L.
TIXON-V 1,1 NC: includes both the control unit and the pneumatic valves, feeding initiated by one external instruction, visual feedback for the volume of fastenings, volume 1.1L.
View catalogLinear Feeders for screws and components
This linear feeder feeds and separates the supplied components in a linear movement through the use of a pneumatic cylinder. This paves the way for a wide range of applications for various types of supplied materials.
It is possible to control the quantity of the components in this feeder’s hopper. This feeder produces significantly lower levels of noise and dust compared to a vibratory feeder— making it suitable for clean environments.
TIXON-SW 1,7 NC: without control unit, includes pneumatic cylinders, has to be controlled by an external PLC, visual feedback for the volume of fastenings included, volume 1.7L.

View catalogPick & Place feeders for screws and components
These are some of the most intricate devices in the Tixon line. Our Pick & Place feeders are always designed according to customers’ specific requirements—mainly taking into account the desired installation dimensions.
In terms of the material being fed; it is possible to choose a vibratory feeder, which is supplemented by a vibratory rail, or a step feeder, which will contain a pair of linear rails.
View catalogHoppers for Feeders, switchers and cleaners for screws
This is a conveyor storage bin designed for feeders that increases the component inventory for the feeder by up to an impressive 6 litres.
If increased cleanliness is part of the specification for the tightening process, we can integrate this device with each of the feeders.
In the first position; the screw is stopped and contaminants are vacuumed away. In the second position; the newly cleaned screw leaves the cleaning unit and continues to the tightening section.
This is a device that can be integrated between the feeder and the tightening unit. If the use of one feeder for two tightening units is desired; a splitter can be used to distribute the screws for both units simultaneously.
This splitter is also used when we want to feed different screws from two feeders into one tightening unit.
View catalogTightening units for Manual Operations
This version is suitable for manual workstations where the operator works with the tightening unit. To start the tightening process; a handle with a start button is used.
The movement of the tightening system’s head is initiated by manually advancing the tightening unit using an internal spring.
View catalogTightening Units for Collaborative Operations
This version is suitable for collaborative robot applications, or for work initialised by an operator.
The tightening system’s head does not include vacuum suction.

This version is suitable for collaborative robot applications, or for work initialised by an operator.
The tightening system’s head includes vacuum suction with cup lengths of 50 mm, 70 mm, and 100 mm.
View catalogTightening Units for Collaborative Operations
This model is suitable for applications where there is an issue automatically feeding fastenings through a hose. It is suitable for workstations where humans collaborate with collaborative robots.
The fastenings are relocated using magnetic force rather than a vacuum. This version also has the possibility to integrate a manual tool-changing system.
View catalogTightening Technologies for Machine Operations
This model is suitable for machine applications that use electric or pneumatic positioning systems; as well as industrial robots.
The tightening unit does not use a vacuum to hold the fastenings in place.

The tightening unit use a vacuum to hold the fastenings in place. It is possible to add another pneumatic cylinder to provide an additional linear feed.
View catalogModified solutions of tightening units
To cater for bespoke customer requirements, we have ensured that it is possible to add various types of auxiliary equipment to each tightening unit.
In cases where there is insufficient space present above the tightening unit; the power unit can be fixed using a 180-degree gearbox, which reduces the overall footprint of the equipment.
Similarly, when integrating tightening units into various linear positioning devices; it is possible to combine a handle with an integrated button for the operator to control the tightening process.
