Abstract

The apparatus includes a gripping device (3) for picking up the parts (1, 2) to be joined and at least one screwdriver (6) comprising a screw spindle (10) and a drive (11) for the screw spindle. The screw spindle (10) is resiliently mounted for movement in the direction of the screw feed and it may be laterally adjusted in each of two perpendicular directions so as to permit an accurate alignment of the screw with the parts to be joined.
