    摘要: A bayonet collet pickup tool includes a collet chuck having a collet portion including a bore disposed therein. A collet is held in the bore and is operable therein. A bayonet cap is mounted to an outer surface of the collet chuck proximate the bore. The bayonet cap includes a tubular socket concentric with the bore, at least one pair of diametrically opposed linear slots adjacent the socket, and a circular ledge adjacent the socket and perpendicular to the slots. A part including a shaft and at least one pair of diametrically opposed pins projecting from the shaft is receivable in the bayonet cap and the bore. Rotating the collet chuck while the pins are level with the ledge and then closing the collet releasably retains the part in the tool.

    摘要: An adapter for picking up and placing a fixture element on a fixture body using a controlled tool handling device having a tool translating and rotating spindle. The spindle has a tool receiving end and an axis of rotation. The adapter receives a cylindrical post member of a fixture element on a fixture body. The adapter has a first end having a receptacle for receiving the end of the spindle. The second end of the adapter is displaced from the first end and includes a cylindrical socket formed on the end. The socket is co-axial with the spindle and receives the cylindrical post member of the fixture element. A fluid passage is formed in the adapter from the receptacle to the cylindrical socket. The cylindrical socket has an upstream end and a down stream end. A piston is disposed in the upstream end of the socket. The piston is moveable longitudinally within the socket in response to fluid pressure delivered from the spindle through the fluid passage. The downstream end of the socket has a circumference with radially inwardly protruding bayonet pins for engaging a circumferential groove of the cylindrical post member.
