ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a fastener supply system and, more particularly, to a fastener supply system which uses a plurality of feed stands mounted upon a turntable which are automatically positioned to ensure continuous fastener feed. The system detects the flow of fasteners at one or more power feeders and when the fasteners are getting low, rotates a new supply of fasteners to the power feeder and begins to supply fasteners before the installation head supply is interrupted. The operator merely ensures that the feed stands have reels of fasteners in place and the system automatically continues to feed those fasteners.
