Zusammenfassung:	A system and method for precisely inserting threaded fasteners using a linear rotary actuator. The method includes aligning the threaded fastener with the threaded hole, soft landing the threaded fastener in contact with the threaded hole, aligning the ends of the threads, soft landing the threaded fastener in contact with the threaded hole, and snugging the threaded fastener. Additional threaded fasteners may be inserted and snugged before a final torque specification is applied to each of the fasteners. The system includes a linear rotary actuator and a tool for driving and coupling to the threaded fastener.
