Carlson Engineering automated screw driving machines are designed to work with a screwfeeder or step feeder, and assist in your assembly automation fastening process by advancing the screw or screws to your product, stopping above it, and then advancing the bit driving the screw or screws to torque or depth. Carlson automatic feed screwdriver systems can be fitted with almost any brand of screwdriver on the market today.
Below is a simple diagram that visually explains representative dimensions of our different automatic drive head families. Please note that dimensions may vary from application to application, and no two applications or drive heads are exactly alike. This chart should be used as a reference guide, not an engineering tool.
This drive head is able to drive multiple screws/fasteners into a part simultaneously, or at different intervals. Each screwdriving spindle can be configured to operate using different programming depending on the application needs.
With up to 6 separate spindles for simultaneous fastener driving, and with a torque capacity of over 100Nm & a weight of over 50lb, the MidDrive Multi-Spindle Automatic Drive Head is a very versatile screwdriving drive head.
The MidDrive Multi-Spindle Automatic Drive Head is intended for use with a blow-feed automatic screwfeeder and can also be configured to drive bolts, pins, rivets, set-screws, and more.

Carlson Engineering has been designing and manufacturing cutting edge automatic screwdriver and screw feeder systems for over 30 years.
Every assembly is different. That’s why we’ve engineered adaptability into our single-spindle drive heads – so that no matter the application, we have a drive head that will work for you. Each type of drive head has different qualities which make it more suited for a particular style of fastener driving.
Type 1 drive heads include a dual-stage travel slide, with two travel strokes.
Primarily used for pick & place presenter applications or nut-running with a vacuum finder.
Type 3 drive heads are intended for driving pre-placed screws, nut running, and bottle-capping.
Type 4 drive heads have a single-stage travel slide – opposite of the Type 1 drive heads.
A drive head that is configured with a vacuum bit extend option, designed to work with a blow feeder.
A drive head that is configured with a magnetic bit extend option, designed to work with a blow feeder.
