  • Mechanical linkage
    Patent number: 8746103
    Abstract: This invention relates to mechanical linkages. The claimed linkages have a plurality of members that rotationally couple an extension member to a ground member. The linkages have relatively less inefficiency caused by inertia and from the placement of transducers within the linkage. Various coupling in the linkages may be powered, providing mechanical linkages that are suitable for use in haptic systems.

The drill assembly contains a motor to advance and retract the drill bit, the motor is controlled by a control unit in a feedback loop to achieve a desired stiffness. The control unit determines when the drill bit breaks through the workpiece and stops or retracts the movement of the drill bit.
