Next-Generation Fastener Insertion Systems Featuring Dual-Bowl Modular Auto-Feed Technology

PENCOM, a global leader in fastening and precision component solutions, proudly announces the release of its latest innovations in fastener insertion technology: the SE-22 2B™ and TTF-22 2B™ systems. Building upon the trusted SE-22™ and TTF-22™platforms, the new “2B” models introduce a Dual-Bowl Modular Auto-Feed System (MAS), enhancing speed, safety, and productivity on the factory floor.

Both the SE-22 2B™ and TTF-22 2B™ retain the same robust structure, control systems, and hydraulic configuration as their base models, ensuring continuity for existing users while delivering an upgraded insertion experience. The integrated MAS provides high-efficiency auto-feeding for nuts, studs, and standoffs ranging from M2 to M6 (2-56 to ¼-20) and up to 25mm in length. Featuring two vibration bowls on a shared system base and controlled via a variable frequency vibration controller, the MAS enables seamless, programmable operation and faster tool changeovers.

“These systems are engineered to meet the evolving demands of automated assembly,” said a PENCOM spokesperson. “With dual-feed capability and advanced safety and ergonomic features, our new 2B series delivers unmatched versatility and throughput.”

Key features include:

  • Two Automatic Upper Stations for fastener insertion at up to one part every 2.5 seconds
  • Automatic Turret Insertion System (ATIS) capable of installing up to four different fasteners per program
  • Positive Stop System ideal for materials like PCB, aluminum, and plastic
  • Enhanced Safety System that halts operation on object detection during motion
  • Intuitive Programming Interface with customizable settings and real-time quality monitoring

The SE-22 2B™ offers a compact, high-performance solution with force capabilities up to 12,814 LBF (57 kN), while the TTF-22 2B™ provides extended reach, higher force output up to 21,806 LBF (97 kN), and greater throat depth for larger applications.

PENCOM continues to lead the industry by blending automation, modularity, and precision in every system. The new 2B series reflects the company’s commitment to innovation and operator safety in modern manufacturing environments.
