    Abstract: A Surgical attachment for a surgical handpiece. The surgical attachment includes a housing for coupling to the surgical handpiece. A driving member is disposed within the housing. The driving member is rotatable about an axis and transfers torque from the handpiece to a surgical accessory tool. The driving member has a drive portion with shoulders that define a bore. Flats extend from the shoulders to engage corresponding flats of the surgical accessory tool. A lock assembly is coupled to the driving member. The lock assembly includes a retainer positioned behind the shoulders of the drive portion of the driving member. The retainer is biased into the bore to engage the surgical accessory tool. The retainer may be permitted to move outwardly from the axis to allow decoupling of the surgical accessory tool in response to sliding of a collar in an axial direction relative to the driving member.

    Abstract: A mounting system includes a first mounting portion associated with an arm of a surgical robot and a second mounting portion associated with an end effector for the surgical robot. The first mounting portion includes a body, a cover plate fixed to the body, and receptacles defined in the cover plate and each receptacle defining a contact surface. The second mounting portion is releasably coupled to the first mounting portion and supports an interface with kinematic couplers to engage the contact surfaces of the receptacles of the first mounting portion and to provide a kinematic coupling between the first and second mounting portions to constrain six degrees of freedom between the arm and the end effector. The mounting system includes a preloading mechanism with a tensioner rotatable between a tensioned position and an untensioned position to clamp the first and second mounting portions together.
