Chapter 6 Fastening Operation

6-5-4 Auxiliary Attachments - Tubenut Head Setup
Tubenut heads are used for applications that require a socket to be inserted around a tube to fasten an
accompanying tubenut. They require a special function to re-align the “U” shaped socket back to its
“open” position in order to remove the nutrunner from the tube after fastening. When using an optional
Tubenut head, special programming options MUST be set-up to enable the Tubenut socket automatic
return function along with various other considerations.
Tubenut head applications inherently present safety concerns especially in the area of the open “U”
shaped socket. The opening of the “U” shaped socket presents a PINCH POINT while rotating.
WARNING: KEEP ALL BODY PARTS AWAY FROM THE TUBENUT HEAD SOCKET
OPENING DURING OPERATION OR PERSONAL INJURY MAY RESULT!
PLEASE CONSULT YOUR PLANT SAFETY PERSONNEL BEFORE USING THIS
HEAD!
All safety precautions MUST be followed to ensure safe operation and operator
safety!
