  • Patent number: 11691230
    Abstract: A tool holding section opposite the first section with a bore formed in the tool holding section adapted for receiving the shank of the tool. A plurality of stress rods positioned around the bore and comprising a thermal rate of expansion less than a thermal rate of expansion of the tool holding section. The plurality of stress rods form corresponding bulges on the surface of the bore to decrease the inner diameter of the bore to mechanically lock the shank of the tool in the bore.

  • Patent number: 11648634
    Abstract: A pair of grippers movable with respect to each other and each of which comprising a body presenting an annular ring oriented perpendicular with respect to a longitudinal length of the end effector. The annular ring of each gripper of the pair of grippers is oriented facing each other so that a space between the annular ring of each gripper of the pair of grippers increases and decreases as the pair of mounting blocks move laterally towards and away from each other.

  • Patent number: 11478862
    Abstract: A textured surface in an outer surface of a tool holding section of a tool holder for increasing a surface area of the outer surface for dissipating heat from the tool holding section. The textured surface can comprise grooves around the outer surface of the tool holding section with a height and a width. Notches can be provided in sides of the grooves to further increase the surface area of the outer surface for dissipating heat from the tool holding section.
