Patent number: 10661355Abstract: A drill system is provided. The drill system includes a drill driver and a secondary computing device. One or more descriptors for a fastening application is entered into the secondary computing device and is being received by a controller residing in the power tool. The descriptors are indicative of a fastening application to be performed by the power tool and are received via a wireless data link from the secondary computing device located remotely from the power tool. A parameter of the drill driver is changed in response to the input of the descriptor in the secondary computing device.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2018Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Steven J.

Publication number: 20180318999Abstract: A hand-held power tool is configured to receive an input indicative of a clutch setting for an electronic clutch from the tool operator, where the clutch setting is selectable from a drill mode, an automated drive mode and one or more user-defined drive modes. Each of the user-defined drive modes specifies a different value of torque at which to interrupt transmission of torque to the output spindle. In an automated drive mode, the controller interrupt torque to the output spindle in an automated manner when a fastener being driven reaches a desired stopping position. In a selected one of the user-defined drive modes, the controller sets a value of a maximum current threshold in accordance with the selected one of the user-defined drive modes and interrupts torque to the output spindle when current measures exceeding the maximum current threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2018Publication date: November 8, 2018Inventors: Shaun LOVELASS, Marco A. MATTUCCI, Jason McROBERTS, David MILLER, Christopher J. MURRAY, Wong Kun NG, Steven J. PHILLIPS, Jonathan PRIESTLEY, Fugen QIN, Oleksiy SERGYEYENKO, Christopher W. SHOOK, Kevin STONES

Patent number: 10011006Abstract: A method is provided for setting a fastener in a workpiece. The method includes: monitoring a parameter of the power tool during operation of the power tool, where the parameter is indicative of the placement of a fastener being driven by the power tool in relation to the workpiece; detecting, a change in the parameter, where the detected change in the parameter indicates that the power tool became disengaged with the fastener; modifying operation of the power tool in response to the detected change in the parameter; subsequently detecting a second change in the parameter; and interrupting transmission of torque to the output spindle in response the detected second change in the parameter, thereby properly setting the placement of the fastener in relation to the workpiece.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2014Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: BLACK & DECKER INC.Inventors: Oleksiy P. Sergyeyenko, Christopher W. Shook, Wong Kun Ng, Stephen J. Phillips

Publication number: 20180154456Abstract: A method is provided for controlling operation of a power tool, such as a drill driver. The method begins with one or more descriptors for a fastening application being received by a controller residing in the power tool, where the descriptors are indicative of a fastening application to be performed by the power tool and are received via a wireless data link from a computing device located remotely from the power tool. The descriptors are translated into a threshold value used by a fastener setting algorithm and the threshold value is stored in a data store of the power tool. During a subsequent fastening operation performed using the tool, an operating parameter of the power tool is monitored and evaluated in accordance with the fastener setting algorithm, including the updated threshold value. Example operating parameters include current delivered to the motor and speed of the motor.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2018Publication date: June 7, 2018Inventors: Steven J. PHILLIPS, Oleksiy SERGYEYENKO, Christopher W. SHOOK, Wong Kun NG, Kevin WENGER
