Automatic installation machine for an installation tool for a wire thread insert, and installation method

An automatic installation machine which is connectable to an installation tool for a wire thread insert so as to install the wire thread insert in a thread bore, wherein the automatic installation machine-comprises the following features:

• a. a rotating drive unit providing a rotation movement that is switchable between a first and a second rotation direction,
• b. an axially displaceable hollow cylindrical setting spindle in rotation coupling with the rotating drive unit so that during a transmission of a rotation movement from the drive unit to the setting spindle, the setting spindle is displaceable in longitudinal direction independent of the rotation movement,
• c. a first actuating member, an effective direction of which is oriented parallel to the longitudinal direction of the setting spindle and which is coupled with an offset with the setting spindle so that the setting spindle is axially displaceable by the actuating member,
• d. an axially displaceable actuating mandrel that is arranged within the hollow cylindrical setting spindle and which is driven generally rotation-free, and
• e. a tool chuck via which the installation tool for a wire thread insert is connectable with the setting spindle.
