Leaders In The Industry
Design Tool is an industry leader, in part because of its five U.S. Patents on its feed mechanism. Our patented feed mechanism has only one moving part. The twist-lock cover allows fast access to the feed mechanism allowing it to be disassembled and reassembled in seconds without the use of tools. Our patented multi-feed system allows us to feed virtually any amount of multi-spindle screwdrivers from one bowl feeder.
The DTI Model 5000 is the world's fastest and simplest automatic screw feeder on the market. Each machine is built for speed, durability and reliability of performance with proven results of 50-60% increase in the assembly process. You can never afford to be down during manufacturing time. Design Tool prides itself on keeping replacement parts in inventory at the factory for around the clock availability to the customer. Many parts are standard commercial parts and are also available at your local maintenance supply house.
Design Tool also builds multi-spindle screw driving systems that are custom-designed as turnkey systems or machine-build componentry. Our experienced team of engineers also specialize in the design and fabrication of robotic, computerized, and PLC controlled units. Our accessories include a wide range of enclosures, supply hoppers and work arms.
