Fastener delivery system

Abstract

A fastener delivery system with a fastener storage cassette, a cassette holding module, a selection chamber assembly, a delivery conduit, and an inspection sensor. The fastener storage cassette includes a plurality of individual fastener chambers each configured to loosely receive a fastener to be selected and delivered, each fastener chamber communicating with a separate air blast port, and, wherein the cassette holding module is configured to hold at least one fastener storage cassette. A movable selection chamber assembly is aligned with a desired cavity in the fastener storage cassette and an air blast moves the fastener to the selection chamber assembly where it can be moved to a receiver and passed to an end effector. The inspection sensor may determine if the fastener is the desired or appropriate fastener.
