    摘要: A system for rod bending for use in robotic spinal surgery, enabling the correct bending of a fusion rod to match the shape required to accurately pass through the heads of the pedicle screws. The system uses data generated by information provided to the robot by the surgeon's preoperative plan, optionally augmented by feedback from the robot control system of deviations encountered intraoperatively. Such deviations could occur, for example, when the surgeon decides intraoperatively on a different trajectory or even to skip screws on one vertebra, in which case, the robot will be commanded to perform the alternative procedure, with commensurate instructions relayed to the control system of the rod-bending machine. The system is also able to thin down the rod at predetermined locations along its length, adapted to be at selected intervertebral locations, for maintaining limited flexibility between vertebrae, instead of fixating them.

    摘要: The conduit marking device comprises a slotted, marked measuring handle for a conduit bender. The measuring handle may be a replacement for the handle provided with the conduit bender. The measuring handle of the conduit marking device provides the ability to easily measure, mark, and align conduit in order to obtain precise results for the bends. The measuring handle is hollow and tubular and a piece of conduit may be inserted into the measuring handle from one end of the handle. The measuring handle incorporates slots, which allow the conduit to be seen through portions of the handle. Measuring indicia on the measuring handle allow specific locations on the conduit to be located and the locations may be marked through the slots on the measuring handle.

    摘要: A conduit tube bending tester for use in testing potential measurements, angles and placements of a EMT conduit to be bent prior to permanently bending the EMT conduit includes a core member defining a elongated cylindrical wire constructed of a thin metal and a tubular outer body defining an exterior coating or skin constructed of a resilient material, with the core member enclosed in the outer body. Being embodied as a wire, the core member has the ability to be bent at any point along its length in any direction through the application of external force and retain the bend unless and until it is straightened or re-bent in another direction through application of external force. The outer body may additionally include a plurality of markings which define standardized measurements.

    摘要: A swaging system includes a swaging assembly, a sensor, and a controller. The swaging assembly includes a movable tool, the movable tool operate to exert force on a die. The die is configured to reduce a dimension of a work piece responsive to the exerted force, the dimension reduction having a relationship to a stroke of the movable tool. The sensor is operable to obtain information including a measurement of the reduced dimension of the work piece. The sensor is operable to generate a measurement signal representative of the obtained information. The controller is operably coupled to receive the measurement signal from the sensor, and is operable to cause adjustment the stroke of the movable tool responsive to the measurement signal.
