Abstract:
This joining device comprises: a fastener supply mechanism which delivers hollow fasteners one by one; a fastener joining mechanism which joins the delivered fasteners to respective joining members; a fastener transfer unit which transfers the fasteners; and a supply-side controller and a joining-side controller. One fastener is delivered to the fastener transfer unit from the fastener supply mechanism when no fastener is detected by an arrival sensor of the fastener joining mechanism, and when a passage detection sensor provided along the fastener transfer unit detects the passage of the delivered fastener, pressurized air is fed into a transfer passage of the fastener transfer unit so as to push the fastener in the fastener transfer unit toward the fastener joining mechanism.
