Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method for screwing a locking ring onto a threaded bolt, wherein a coupling device for being threaded into the threaded bolt is driven in rotation by a rotary drive, and wherein the locking ring is then screwed onto the threaded bolt, which is fixed by the coupling device, by a locking ring holder which is driven in rotation by the rotary drive. The disclosure likewise relates to a method for screwing a locking ring comprising a fastening part and a tear-off part onto a threaded bolt, wherein a removal gripper grips the tear-off part and removes the tear-off part after the tear-off part has been torn off. The disclosure further relates to a screwing apparatus for executing a method according to the disclosure.
Claims20
A method for screwing a locking ring onto a threaded bolt, comprising:
- threading a coupling device into a threaded bolt by driving the coupling device, for being threaded into the threaded bolt, in rotation by a rotary drive;
- and
- screwing the locking ring onto the threaded bolt with a locking ring holder, wherein the threaded bolt is fixed by the coupling device, wherein the locking ring holder is driven in rotation by the rotary drive.
A screwing apparatus for screwing a locking ring onto a threaded bolt, comprising:
- a rotary drive;
- and
- a locking ring holder;
- wherein the screwing apparatus is configured to thread a coupling device into a threaded bolt by driving the coupling device, for being threaded into the threaded bolt, in rotation by the rotary drive;
- and to screw the locking ring onto the threaded bolt with the locking ring holder, wherein the threaded bolt is fixed by the coupling device, wherein the locking ring holder is driven in rotation by the rotary drive.
A method for screwing a locking ring onto a threaded bolt, comprising:
- threading a coupling device into a threaded bolt by driving the coupling device, for being threaded into the threaded bolt, in rotation by a rotary drive;
- and
- screwing the locking ring onto the threaded bolt with a locking ring holder, wherein the threaded bolt is fixed by the coupling device, wherein the locking ring holder is driven in rotation by the rotary drive,
- wherein the rotary drive has a motor and a clutch arrangement for driving engagement of the motor with the locking ring holder and the coupling device so that only the locking ring holder is driven in rotation when the motor moves in a first direction and wherein the coupling device is driven in rotation when the motor is moved in a direction which is opposite the first direction.
