Abstract: A machining system includes a robotic manipulator, a master-side automated tool changer, a master-side data transmission connector, and a plurality of end effectors. Each of the end effectors includes a machine tool, a tool-side automated tool changer coupleable to the master-side automated tool changer, and a tool-side data transmission connector coupleable to the master-side data transmission connector. A controller is in communication with the master-side automated tool changer and the master-side data transmission connector. With the master-side automated tool changer coupled to the tool-side automated tool changer of the end effector: power is transferred from the master-side automated tool changer to the tool-side automated tool changer; electrical signals are transferred between the master-side data transmission connector and the tool-side data transmission connector; and the controller identifies the end effector based on one of the electrical signals transferred between the master-side data transmission connector and the tool-side data transmission connector.
