Automated Nut and Collar Feeders

Howmet Fastening Systems offers two families of our redesigned automatic feed pneumatic installation tools: AKT2200 and ACT2100 Series. The AKT2200 series is for automated feeding of nuts and the ACT2100 series is for the automated feeding of frangible threaded collars used on hex-drive pins, such as the Hi-Lok™, Hi-Tigue™, Aero-Lite®, Veri-Lite® and Hi-Lite™ fastening systems.
Features:
Nuts can be purchased on pre-loaded spindles that are inserted into the feed tubes.
Collars are loaded on-site, and HFS can provide feeder bowls.
There is a significant reduction in installation cycle times.
A torque-control tool design allows for complete installation of nuts and is perfect for pre-torque collar applications.
The tools are designed for K-Fast™ type nuts and reduced hex Hi-Lok™ collars but will work with most comparable nuts and collars.
Current nut designs for 5/32 in. through 5/16 in. nut sizes and 1/4 in. through 5/16 in. collar sizes.
