Abstract: Battery pack powered roll groover described herein includes a housing, an inner roller provided on the housing and configured to be received in an inner circumference of a workpiece, a groove roll provided on the housing and configured to produce a groove on the workpiece, one or more motors provided within the housing and configured to drive the groove roll, and an electronic processor electrically connected to the one or more motors. The electronic processor is configured to operate the one or more motors to perform a first operation of moving the groove roll in a radial direction, and operate the one or more motors to perform a second operation of moving the groove roll around a track in a circumferential direction. The first operation is performed to adjust a groove depth on the workpiece. The second operation is performed to produce the groove on the workpiece.

Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying power tool accessories. Power tools described herein include a power tool housing including an interface. The interface is configured to receive an accessory. The accessory includes an identifier. The power also includes a motor and an electronic processor connected to the motor and a memory. The electronic processor is configured to detect insertion of the accessory into the interface and determine, when the accessory is inserted into the interface, an accessory type of the accessory based on the identifier. The electronic processor is configured to select operating parameters for the motor based on the accessory type.

Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating a crimping application. A power tool includes a pair of jaws configured to crimp a workpiece, a piston cylinder configured to actuate at least one of the pair of jaws, and a pressure sensor configured to provide pressure signals associated with a crimping application. The power tool also includes an electronic processor connected to the pressure sensor. The electronic processor is configured to monitor, while performing the crimping application, a pressure applied by the piston cylinder, construct a pressure curve indicative of a change in the pressure applied during the crimping application, process the pressure curve into a vector indicative of one or more features, evaluate the crimping application based on the vector, and provide an output indicative of the evaluation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a status of an action performed by a power tool. For example, the power tool includes a power tool housing, an accessory, and an electronic processor. The housing includes a recess and an input device. The accessory is configured to be received by the recess. The accessory includes an identifier. The electronic processor is connected to the input device. The electronic processor is configured to receive a first signal from the identifier, determine an accessory type based on the first signal, receive a second signal from the input device, initiate an action based on the second signal, determine an outer diameter of the workpiece, calculate a force applied by the power tool, determine a distance traveled by the accessory during the action, and determine a status of the action based on the force applied to the workpiece and the distance.

Abstract: A pipe threader includes a housing, an electric motor, a battery, a die holder, and a die locking mechanism. The die locking mechanism receives torque from the electric motor and rotates as a result. A cutting die is received in the die holder and the locking mechanism rotationally locks the cutting die in the die holder. The locking mechanism includes a first lock ring and a second lock ring. The pipe threader includes a drive assembly including an electric motor, a multi-stage planetary transmission that receives torque from the motor, and a worm drive that receives torque from the transmission. The pipe threader includes an inertial measurement unit and an electronic processer. The processor receives data from the inertial measurement unit, generates a relative position of the pipe threader by applying a Kalman filter, determining whether the relative position exceeds a threshold, and decreases the motor speed in response.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a smart accessory storage device for power tool accessories. An example accessory storage device includes a housing including an accessory slot for storing an accessory, a sensor configured to detect a presence of the accessory within the accessory slot, and a controller connected to the sensor. The controller is configured to determine, based on a signal from the sensor, whether the accessory is located within the accessory slot, determine, when the accessory is not located within the accessory slot, determine a set of parameters associated with the accessory, and transmit the set of parameters to an external device.
