Fastener device with variable feed cycle timing

A fastener device that drives a fastener into a workpiece comprising:

• a housing;
• a nose assembly connected with the housing, the nose assembly having a drive channel into which the fastener to be driven into the workpiece is fed,
• a driver disposed in the nose assembly, the driver being movable along a drive axis of the nose assembly to engage and drive the fastener in the drive channel into the workpiece, the driver having a drive cycle that includes a time from which the driver is activated to engage and drive the fastener in the drive channel into the workpiece to a time until the driver is retracted along the drive axis to clear the drive channel and to allow for feeding of a subsequent fastener into the drive channel:
• an energy assembly disposed within the housing, the energy assembly configured to transmit power to the driver to cause the driver to move along the drive axis;
• a feeder configured to feed the fastener into the drive channel of the nose assembly prior to the driver driving the fastener into the workpiece, the feeder having a start time defining a time at which the feeder is activated to feed the subsequent fastener into the drive channel,
• a controller having one or more processors and operatively connected to the energy assembly and the feeder, the controller being configured to control a time between the drive cycle and the feeder start time based on at least one of a mode of operation of the fastener device and a characteristic of the energy assembly.
