Deprag's New Adaptive Direct Fastening System is a revolution automatic flow form screwdriving. 

The use of flow form screws into two non-drilled sheets requires high down force and high speed to heat and form the hole.  It is a complex assembly because to achieve optimal cycle times and proper funnel and thread forming, the down force and feed speed needs adjusted during the various stages of the screw assembly so that the funnel and thread forming can be done reliably. 

Traditional systems required numerous pre-tests to determine the timing of the piercing point.  Switching parameters too early leads to improper funnel formation and longer assembly times, too late can lead to thread damage.

Deprag's Adaptive DFS is able to sense the exact piercing point as well as other key stages in the screw assembly and switches parameters accordingly assuring:

• automatic adaptation to variances in the screw and part
• the highest process reliability
• shortest possible cycle times
• optimised funnel forming
• reduced set up times
• a more flexible system
• minimise  damaged threads

Other features of the Adaptive Direct Fastening System are:

• Active nosepiece jaws that hold the screw firmly until drilling has started
• Adjustable down holder force
• High down pressure applied directly in line with the screw
• Head first screw feeding to minimise damage to the screw’s tip
• Fast interchange of the mouthpiece for minimal downtime
• Lock stroke for underfloor applications
