Mechanical tool for screw inserts

LOADING ZOOM

The mounting tool from Juno Industries is specially designed for the easy and reliable installation of screw-in inserts (self-tapping) in a wide range of materials. Thanks to its robust build and precise fit, this tool ensures fast installation, longer service life and consistent quality with repeated use.

By default, the tools are supplied with a square drive connection, but other options are available, such as an external hex connection according to ISO 1173 E11.2 or E6.3, a slightly tapered connection according to DIN 228, or a DIN 3121 connection for larger sizes.

Description

Application & operation

Which inserts is this tool suited for?

This tool is intended for self-tapping screw-in metal inserts (size range approx. M2 up to M20) that cut their own outer thread into the material.

How does it work?

Positioning and Depth Setting
Ensure that the workpiece is positioned so that the borehole and the machine spindle are perfectly perpendicular.
Adjust the machine to the correct installation depth — approximately 0.1 to 0.2 mm below the surface of the workpiece.
Start the Operating Cycle
At the start of the rotation process, the outer rotating shaft of the tool must rest against the visible stop pins, allowing the pins to drive the tool clockwise.
Feeding the Insert
Feed the screw-in insert on to the rotating tool, ensuring the slot or 3 cutting holes is facing downward.
Allow the tool to grip the insert for approximately 2 to 4 thread courses.
Driving the Insert into the Borehole
Continue approaching the tool toward the borehole. Once the insert engages and begins cutting into the material, the remainder of the driving process proceeds without applying additional feed pressure.

Reversing and Finalising the Installation
Depending on the machine type, reversal may occur automatically via a limit switch or depth sensor.
Avoid applying excessive downward pressure when the tool contacts the workpiece — doing so may cause damage or breakage to both the tool and the insert.
Hard contact may also affect the precision fit of the insert and reduce its pull-out resistance.
If necessary, adjust the driving speed to ensure the reversal occurs at the correct moment.

Key benefits

Quick and simple installation without need for special adapters.
High repeatability and precision for each installation cycle.
Long service life, thanks to hardened tool materials.
User-friendly design for direct and reverse rotation use.
Compatibility with a broad range of insert types, diameters and lengths.

Specifications

Technical features

Suitable for mounting of self-tapping inserts and related models.
Designed for use with cordless drilling machines, tapping machines or any screwing device capable of reversing direction.
Available in various diameters and lengths to match different insert sizes (see data sheet).

Replacement parts

If the threaded end of the tool shows wear, simply replace the stud with part type 620 0XXX 70 rather than replacing the entire tool.
