Automatic screwdriving robot from China

A screwdriving robot stops when a screw jams in the feeder or cross-threads, so feeding and torque checking decide its output, not the speed of the axes.

What hides inside the price

Robot or feeder

Five of thirteen listings we checked were screw feeders or handheld auto-feed drivers. A robot adds axes, a fixture and a program. Confirm what is quoted.

Blow feed or suction pick

Blow feeding shoots the screw down a tube and suits longer screws. Suction picking suits small or short screws. Ask which fits your screw length and head.

Torque control and proof

A current-controlled driver estimates torque; a transducer driver measures it. Ask which, and whether each screw's torque and angle are logged.

Fixture and product change

Every product needs a fixture and program. Ask the price and lead time of the next fixture, not only the first.

Before you ask for a price.

Send these with the enquiry. Without them, any number a factory gives you is a guess dressed as a quotation.

Screw drawings: thread, length, head, and target torque.
Screws per product and products per shift.
Product drawing with screw positions and access angles.
Material the screw goes into: metal thread, plastic boss or thread-forming.
Whether logging to your quality system is required.

Turn the claim into a demonstration.

Require this	A pass looks like
Drive a counted batch of your screws into your parts.	Misfeeds, cross-threads and stripped holes counted and recorded.
Check final torque with a calibrated torque analyser on a sample.	Measured torque inside your specification on every sample.
Feed a missing or wrong-length screw.	The robot detects it and stops or rejects the part.

The documents that must arrive with it.

EU Declaration of Conformity citing 2006/42/EC, or Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 for delivery from 20 January 2027, plus Low Voltage 2014/35/EU and EMC 2014/30/EU.
Risk assessment covering the moving axes, and whether it was assessed against EN ISO 10218 or general machinery standards.
Manual in your language, with the driver calibration record.

The one people forget. The driver calibration certificate. Without it, logged torque values carry no weight in a customer audit.

When this is the wrong machine.

Buy something else if

Named, not hedged

You drive a few screws in many different products.

Handheld auto-feed drivers with torque control.

Your plastic housings could be joined without screws.

An ultrasonic plastic welder, if the product never needs opening.

Where the numbers come from.

We name the kind of source, how many and when, and never the factory. Listed prices are asking prices, not landed cost. Where we do not hold a fact we say so: that is a GAP, not an estimate.

Listings · 13Thirteen marketplace listings for automatic screwdriving machines, checked September 2026: five were screw feeders or handheld drivers, and five desktop or multi-spindle robots asked US$4,800 to US$30,000. Asking prices, not landed cost.
GAPGAP - no supplier quotations logged for this machine yet. Three to five quotations for one configuration would give a real price spread.

Straight answers

Questions buyers ask about this machine.

Chinese vs European screwdriving robot?+

Axes are similar. Drivers, feeders and torque logging differ, so test those on your screws.

What goes on a factory audit for a screwdriving robot?+

Who makes the driver, how torque is calibrated, and whether they build fixtures in-house.

What CE documentation does it need?+

A Declaration of Conformity, a technical file and a manual in your language.

Who is the EU importer?+

Your business if it brings the robot in: your name and address on it, and the declaration kept.
