Manual Pick-Up Screw Feeder (for Manual Stations)
RONYI manual pick-up screw feeders serve manual tightening stations: operators pick screws directly from the pick-up point with the bit of an electric screwdriver instead of pinching small screws by hand. Rotary-disc, cross-shaped separation presents one screw at a time at a fixed position. Three models cover M0.8–M6.0 screws with hoppers of 80–600CC, with digital settings, counters and automatic jam clearing.

Manual Pick-Up Screw Feeders for Handheld Tightening Stations
A manual pick-up screw feeder is used at manual tightening stations: the operator holds an electric screwdriver, picks a screw directly from the pick-up point with the bit, and moves it to the workpiece. There is no need to pinch small screws out of a tray with fingers, so every pick happens at the same position with the same motion, keeping pick-up time short and consistent while reducing dropped and mixed screws.
The RONYI manual models (suffix H) use the same rotary-disc separation as the automation models: after vibration and a rotating drum align the screws, a cross-shaped separator delivers them one at a time, in a fixed orientation, to a fixed position, so screws are less likely to slip, jam or stick together. The rail is wire-cut along its full length for uniform clearance and tight tolerances, and key parts are CNC-machined, so even small screws feed reliably.
The three models differ by screw size and capacity: the RY-328H mini model handles M0.8~M2.0 (80CC) and is only 82mm wide, taking up little bench space; the RY-528H mid-size model covers M0.8~M5.0 (220CC); and the RY-728H large model handles M2.0~M6.0 with thread lengths up to 25mm and a 600CC hopper, suiting larger screws.
The drum, disc and vibration motors are digitally adjustable, with individual and total counters so operators can verify how many screws were tightened; all three drives use brushless motors. The control board is enclosed to prevent short circuits from stray screws. On a jam the unit automatically reverses and runs forward again to clear it; if the jam cannot be cleared, it cuts power and raises an alarm.

Typical Applications
Manual stations with handheld electric screwdrivers
Operators pick screws directly from the pick-up point with the screwdriver bit; every pick happens at the same position with the same motion, faster than picking from a tray and with fewer dropped or mixed screws.
Assembly lines using small screws
The RY-328H handles M0.8~M2.0 screws and is only 82mm wide, taking up little bench space on manual 3C assembly lines.
Stations that need to count tightened screws
Individual and total counters let operators verify the number of screws used per product and reduce missed screws.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose among the three models?
Choose by screw size: for M0.8~M2.0 with thread lengths up to 8mm, the RY-328H (80CC); for M0.8~M5.0 up to 12mm, the RY-528H (220CC); for M2.0~M6.0 up to 25mm, the RY-728H (600CC). Send us your screw specs or drawing and we can help confirm the fit.
What is the difference between the manual pick-up and vacuum pick-up (automation) models?
Both use rotary-disc, cross-shaped separation with single-screw output at a fixed position. Manual pick-up models (suffix H) serve manual stations, where operators pick screws directly with the bit of an electric screwdriver; vacuum pick-up models (suffix J) serve automatic screw tightening machines or robots, where the tightening spindle picks screws with a vacuum nozzle. H and J models of the same size share the same screw range, capacity and dimensions.
What happens when screws jam?
The control board has overload protection: on a jam it automatically reverses and then runs forward to clear it and resume feeding; if the jam cannot be cleared, it cuts power and raises an alarm. The control board is also enclosed to prevent short circuits from stray screws.
Can it count how many screws have been used?
Yes. Individual and total counters let you verify the number of screws per product or the cumulative usage over a shift.
Other Accessories Models
- PRO-CHK Torque Meter — The PRO-CHK digital torque meter is used for torque calibration and checking of electric screwdrivers and automatic screw tightening machines. Measuring range is 20–5000 mN·m (0.204–51.02 kgf·cm) with ±0.5% accuracy. It offers four measuring modes (PP / PD / CT / TR) and pass/fail judgment against upper and lower limits, stores 800 readings and outputs data in ASCII format.
- Screw Refill Hopper — RONYI screw refill hoppers sit beside a screw feeder and keep topping it up according to their settings, reducing line stops for refilling. The RY-120 holds 600CC and the RY-140L 800CC, both for M2.0–M6.0 screws (head thickness over 1.0mm, total length under 29mm), with digital settings for the drive motor, detection time and number of refills.
- Vacuum Pick-Up Screw Feeder (for Automation) — RONYI vacuum pick-up screw feeders (automation models, also called screw presenters) use rotary-disc, cross-shaped separation to deliver bulk screws one at a time, in a fixed orientation, to the pick-up point, where the tightening spindle of an automatic screw tightening machine or robot picks them up with a vacuum nozzle. Four models cover M0.8–M6.0 screws with thread lengths up to 30mm and hoppers of 80–900CC; the drum, disc and vibration motors are digitally adjustable, with counters and automatic jam clearing.
