ABSTRACT:
A robotic die mounting mechanism can be used to apply or remove fasteners to or from aligned locations such as pre-drilled and pre-tapped holes in a cutting die and backing drum for attaching or detaching the die to or from the drum. The mounting mechanism including a fastener supply magazine with a dispensing chute, a robotic arm, a socket on a rotary driver, and an actuator mounting the driver. The magazine holds a supply of the fasteners and its chute dispenses one fastener at a time from the magazine. The robotic arm movable between a fastener pickup position adjacent the magazine chute and a fastener discharge position remote therefrom and above the die and drum receives one fastener at a time from the magazine chute and transfers the fastener from the fastener pickup position to the fastener discharge position. The socket on the rotary driver engages the fastener at the fastener discharge position. Upon actuation of the actuator, the rotary drill and the socket therewith are moved to advance the fastener from the fastener discharge position to a fastener applying position adjacent to the die and drum. The driver is then actuated to rotate the socket and apply the fastener to the aligned loations on the die and drum. Reversal of the steps will effectuate removal of the fastener from the die and drum and its delivery back to the supply magazine.
