Fastener FAQs
Industrial components and fasteners such as screws, bolts, nuts, and rivets are vital to manufacturing. Their production demands high precision and strict quality control. RNA’s custom automated systems are specifically engineered to meet these requirements, streamlining production and assembly with accuracy and efficiency.
Automation in the fastener industry improves production speed, precision, and consistency while reducing manual labor and errors. RNA specializes in feeding and handling automation, providing solutions such as:
- Automated parts feeding and orientation – Vibratory bowl feeders, step feeders, and centrifugal feeders to ensure accurate part positioning.
- Precision part handling and transfer – Custom conveyors and robotic systems for smooth part movement between processes.
- Vision-guided inspection and sorting – Integrated vision systems for defect detection and quality control.
- Flexible feeding systems – FlexType™ platforms that handle multiple fastener types with quick changeovers and minimal downtime.
These systems ensure fast, reliable, and consistent feeding of screws, bolts, nuts, and rivets throughout the production line.
RNA designs automation systems to handle a wide range of industrial components, including screws, nuts, bolts, washers, clips, pins, springs, stamped parts, connectors, and custom fasteners — all with precision feeding and handling to ensure smooth, efficient production.
RNA ensures consistent orientation and feeding through the use of vibratory bowl feeders, step feeders, centrifugal feeders, and custom escapement tooling. Each system is precisely designed around the geometry of the fastener to guarantee accurate singulation, orientation, and transfer — even for complex or irregularly shaped parts.
Yes. RNA designs feeders and conveyors specifically engineered to handle oily, magnetic, sharp-edged, or heavy components. We use special surface coatings, magnetic separation, and hardened materials to ensure durability, reliability, and smooth feeding performance in demanding environments.
Yes. RNA’s high-speed feeding solutions — including multi-lane linear systems and centrifugal feeders — are engineered to process several hundred parts per minute with exceptional precision. They’re ideal for integration into high-volume assembly, packaging, and machining lines, ensuring consistent performance and minimal downtime.
For production lines that handle multiple fastener types or variants, RNA offers multi-track feeders, flexible feeding systems (FlexType™), and vision-guided robotic pick-and-place units. These solutions are ideal for complex assemblies, kitting operations, and applications requiring frequent changeovers, ensuring smooth, efficient, and accurate part handling.
Yes. RNA specializes in modular, scalable integration — whether retrofitting feeders into CNC machining cells or integrating complete feeding and orientation platforms into robotic or semi-automated lines. We provide comprehensive mechanical and software interfacing support to ensure seamless system performance.
