In the above-mentioned conventional automatic screw tightening machine, the screw fitted and held in the holding hole of the holding claw is sucked and held with the movement of the driver bit, and is pushed out from the holding claw. However, at this time, the holding claw attempts to close by the bias of the spring before the screw is completely pushed out to the front of the holding claw, so the screw is flipped off by that force,
Problems such as screws dropping out of the driver bit have occurred.

When the screw is held on the holding claws 13, 13, and then the cylinder 5 is operated to advance the driver table 4, the driver bit 8 advances inside the main body 12, and It is pressed against the held screw.
Also at this time, since the closing operation piece 17a still matches the engagement member 16, the holding claws 13 and 13 do not rotate. Therefore, in this state, the motor 6 is driven for a predetermined time to rotate the driver bit 8. Then, the tip can be aligned with the hexagonal hole of the screw, and the screw can be sucked in the correct posture.

Thereafter, when the cylinder 18 operates to contract the rod 18a to move the operating member 17 upward, the closing operating piece 17a is disengaged from the engaging member 16, and instead the expanding operating piece 17a is moved. 17b is the engaging member 16
And move to push it away. As a result, since the holding claws 13 and 13 are rotated so as to be opened integrally with the engaging member 16, the held screw is used as the driver bit 8.
It is released while being adsorbed on the. The screw released in this manner is pushed out to the work by further advancement of the driver base 4, and is fastened when the driver bit 8 is rotated. However, since the holding claws 13, 13 are already open, the holding claw 13 is held. The problem that the claws 13 and 13 interfere with the screw attracted to the driver bit 8 and repel the screw does not occur.
