Abstract

Screws are essential and widely used hardware because of their ease of use and very high joint force. A screwdriver is a device utilized for screwing and unscrewing the screws. For years, screwdriver somehow got very little attention, and hence, very little innovation in the designing and manufacturing took place within the years. This paper presents the design of the “pistol”-type VSR (variable speed reversible) electric screwdriver and an economical and effortlessly assembled open-source screwdriver based on the Arduino micro-controller chip platform. This design allows users to avoid using awkward wrist postures, attempting to fasten or unfasten screws with manual screwdrivers. The 3D model of electric screwdriver is designed and optimized in PTC Creo Parametric 3.0. The apparatus contains planetary gear system, a DC motor, optical groove coupler module, and a variety of sensors. Additional features, such as an LCD, are placed to display torque, and RPM is added to the screwdriver.
