Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a separator, a separator combined or integrated with a collator and a method of such separators, in order to provide segments of collated fasteners. Segments of collated fasteners are mainly used by builders, who are assembling e.g. wooden structures or for mounting purposes, to engage the fasteners by shooting or screwing the fastener into a structure with a pneumatically operated tool such as a nail gun. The separator is adapted for receiving a continuous flow of collated fasteners, wherein the separator comprises—a fastener counter connected to a controller and configured to send a signal to the controller corresponding to at least one fastener having been counted,—a puncher adapted for punching an end section of at least one fastener to separate a segment including a plurality of collated fasteners in a punching direction, and where the controller is configured to timely activate the puncher, when a predetermined number of collated fasteners in the continuous flow have been counted and a corresponding time for the counting of the predetermined number of collated fasteners has been determined.
