    摘要: Devices and methods for providing power to tools when the tools are not attached to a robotic device. The power source may be an energy storage device that is attached to a tool frame of a tool cluster. The power provides for the tools to be maintained in a ready state which expedites and/or eliminates the initiation process when the tools and the tool cluster are subsequently reattached to the robotic device. This reduces the time necessary for the tools to be used in the assembly process thereby increasing the efficiency of the tooling system.

    摘要: A spindle assembly includes a power source interface configured to be operably coupled to a power bus and power the spindle assembly via the power bus, a spindle controller comprising processing circuitry, a diagnostic switch assembly operably coupled to the spindle controller and operably coupled to a logic supply bus, and a working apparatus comprising a motor and a spindle operably coupled to the spindle controller. The working apparatus may be controllable by the spindle controller to act upon a work piece to perform a work task. The processing circuitry of the spindle controller may be configured to receive a fault localization instruction rom a bus control device operably coupled to the logic supply bus, and control the diagnostic switch assembly to determine a presence and a location of a fault on the logic supply bus.
