US Patent:

20090265135, Oct 22, 2009
Filed:

Sep 28, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/992964
Inventors:

Adrian H. Hetzel - Spartanburg SC, US
International Classification:

G06F 15/00
G06G 7/64
US Classification:

702182, 703 7, 702 41
Abstract:

A joint simulator is provided having a housing with a chamber, a piston, slidable within the chamber, and a shaft rotatable within the housing, the shaft having (i) an end configured to engage a power tool to be tested, and (ii) a threaded end engaged with the piston, whereby rotating the shaft causes the piston to slide within the chamber Hydraulic fluid fills a section of the chamber formed by a side of the piston and the housing, and computer software controlled pressure and relief valves are actuated to regulate the flow of hydraulic fluid in the chamber, to achieve target pressures. The pressure of the hydraulic fluid creates resistance to rotation of the shaft, thereby increasing the torque relative to the angular increase on the shaft and/or relative to time. The joint simulator is provided with means to determine the angular displacement and torque applied to the shaft;

US Patent:

20170320183, Nov 9, 2017
Filed:

Jul 24, 2017
Appl. No.:

15/657932
Inventors:

- Apex NC, US
Adrian Hilary Hetzel - Clarkston MI, US
International Classification:

B23Q 17/24
G05B 19/12
Abstract:

A tooling system that includes a drive unit configured to provide rotational force to a tool member. The tool member is attached at a mount on the drive unit. A camera associated with the drive unit is aligned to capture a target on the tool member. The data is sent to a controller that identifies the tool member based on the target. The controller determines whether the tool member is correct for performing an operation on a work piece. If the tool member is correct, the controller may set one or more operating parameters on the drive unit. If the controller determines that the tool member is not correct, the drive unit is disabled. Further, a signal may be sent to inform an operator of the issue.
