Hand Held SystemsVLB-900 Locking Bitwith ScrewfeederApplication: Engages screw in the nosepiecetooling tip so operators can align mating parts for verticalapplications.Visumatic invented the Locking Bit Handheld System, withover 20 years of research and development. It’s the simplest,most reliable driving system on the market.Our exclusive design: Keeps the bit and screw engaged in the nosepiece The operator can align the parts prior to fastening, usingthe screw to feel the joint Allows vertical, horizontal and inverted applications, withInline or Pistol Grip assembliesUsing the VLB Locking Bit the operator can ‘ice pick’ theassembly ensuring proper alignment; maximum productivity.It’s become the most preferred screwdriving system whencompared side-by-side with other brands.The Visumatic Advant-EdgeVisumatic systems are designed for your part, with thebest choice of: Drive Motor: Pneumatic, AC or DC ElectricTorque Control Nosepiece: Jaw, Finder-Jaw, Mini Feeder Escapement: Standard, Cam, or Finger,OrientorGreater Control.Greater Capability.Built Better.Locking BitAction1. As the screw is blownfrom the automatic feedsystem, the Locking Bitassembly retracts the bit,allowing the screw intothe nosepiece.2. Once the screw reachesthe nosepiece, the LockingBit assembly spring-returnsto the fully-extendedlocked-in-place position,engaging the driver bit andscrew head.10” Feeder SystemFinder & Part3. With the Locking Bitand screw engaged, theoperator is able to positivelylocate the driving position,putting the screw into thehole before initiating thedrive cycle.Ergonomic
