The screwing start position Z1 is calculated from the screw length input in the control circuit 11 and the screwing height position of the workpiece. When the screw tightening head l reaches the Z1 position, the speed control is then switched to torque control and the lowering operation is controlled until the screw tightening is completed at position 22, as shown in FIG. 1(b). That is, as shown in FIG. 1(b) by a solid line, a broken line, a dashed line, etc., the screw is lowered with a torque corresponding to the screwing position based on a predetermined torque pattern corresponding to the type of screw to be tightened. Driven. The screwing position is detected based on a signal input from the encoder 3 of the bit rotation motor 2 to the control circuit 11. In this way, screw tightening is performed with a predetermined pressing force applied to the bit la depending on the type of screw and the screwing position.
