Abstract: A machining system includes a robotic manipulator, a master-side automated tool changer, a master-side data transmission connector, and a plurality of end effectors. Each of the end effectors includes a machine tool, a tool-side automated tool changer coupleable to the master-side automated tool changer, and a tool-side data transmission connector coupleable to the master-side data transmission connector. A controller is in communication with the master-side automated tool changer and the master-side data transmission connector. With the master-side automated tool changer coupled to the tool-side automated tool changer of the end effector: power is transferred from the master-side automated tool changer to the tool-side automated tool changer; electrical signals are transferred between the master-side data transmission connector and the tool-side data transmission connector; and the controller identifies the end effector based on one of the electrical signals transferred between the master-side data transmission connector and the tool-side data transmission connector.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for automatically exchanging a first end-effector on a robot arm with a second end-effector housed in a docking station. The first end-effector has a clamp that either engages or disengages the robot arm based upon an application of force of the robot arm onto the end-effector. The clamp has a spring loaded clip that disengages the first end-effector to allow the robot arm to move away from the released first end-effector. The robot arm is configured to automatically move to a port of a docking station housing the desired second end-effector using magnetic coils on the robot arm and the docking station to guide the robot arm.

Abstract: A robotic end effector quick change coupling apparatus employs a drive motor assembly having a center drive interface. A coupling component having a magnetic element extends from the drive motor assembly concentric with the center drive interface. An end effector tool has a drive connection adapted to removably receive the center drive interface. A mating coupling component having a mating magnetic element extends from the end effector tool concentric with the drive connection. The magnetic element and mating magnetic element are separably engaged by mutual magnetic attraction to couple the end effector to the drive motor assembly.

Abstract: A set-up stand is provided including a counterbalance mechanism for use in reconfiguring an end-effector with an articulating portion rotated by a bi-directional rotary locking device, for example, a clutch. A counterbalance mechanism is provided including a holding member which is attached to a preloaded member and connected to an articulating portion of the end-effector during reconfiguration of the end-effector. The preloaded member provides a tension load to counterbalance the gravity moment load of the articulating portion when the articulated portion is rotated in the same direction as the output shaft of the bi-direction rotary locking device, to prevent overhauling, chattering or binding stops during rotation and reconfiguration. A method is provided to utilize the counterbalance mechanism as described.
