Rotary Screw Changing Delivery System

A method for remotely switching screw feeding into a door assembly machine with an auto-hinge applicator, comprising the steps of:

• receiving a screw selection for a screw type via a touch screen;
• identifying a screw hopper corresponding to the selected screw type;
• indexing the screw hopper in position via a rotary index;
• releasing screws corresponding to the selected screw type from the screw hopper into a manifold connected to the screw hopper;
• and
• blowing the screws through screw feed-hoses, wherein the screw feed-hoses connect to screw drivers on the auto-hinge applicator of the door assembly machine.

A screw changing delivery system for a door assembly machine with an auto-hinge applicator, comprising:

• a table that is supported on heavy-duty bearings and a framework;
• at least one screw hopper secured to the table, wherein the at least one screw hopper is configured to dispense screws stored therein;
• a screw pick off plate configured to catch the screws from the at least one screw hopper;
• a manifold connected to the screw pick off plate via a hopper screw drop hose to receive the screws from the screw pick off plate;
• and
• at least one screw feed-hose connected to the manifold to deliver the screws from the manifold to screw drivers on the auto-hinge applicator of the door assembly machine.
