Abstract: A rodstock barrel drive having a first and second roller gears, each having a toothed section and a gripping surface section, such that the teeth of the roller gears intermesh, causing rotation of one of roller gear to rotate the other roller gear in the opposite direction, so as to draw a rodstock through a space between the gripping surfaces of the pair of roller gears, a ring gear which engages with one of the pair of roller gears, a drive gear which engages with the ring gear, and one or more idler gears which engage with the ring gear, all within a housing, the drive gear being connected to, and rotated by, a motor, which causes the rodstock to be drawn through the roller gears, wherein all the gears are all positioned within, and oriented parallel to, a common plane.

Abstract: A needle apparatus for making a pinning hole in a composite material, the apparatus having a needle with a longitudinal axis, a collar fixed about the needle, a motor having an axis of rotation, and being fixed to the needle such that the needle can be rotated by the motor, the motor and the collar being situated within a motor housing, the motor housing having a first bush, and a second bush, wherein the collar is positioned between the first bush and second bush so as to prevent the needle from moving away from or towards the motor, but allow the needle to rotate freely around its longitudinal axis, wherein each needle apparatus further comprises a linear actuator connected to the motor such that the motor can be moved along the axis of rotation of the motor by the linear actuator.
