  • Linear and rotational adjustment systems
    Patent number: 10217478
    Abstract: Systems and methods may include a motor and an output shaft apparatus. The output shaft apparatus may be configured to position a manufacturing component using the motor. The output shaft apparatus may move linearly along a longitudinal axis and/or rotationally about the longitudinal axis. The system may also include an engagement apparatus coupling the motor to the output shaft apparatus. The engagement apparatus may be configured in a linear configuration for linearly moving the output shaft apparatus or a rotational configuration for rotationally moving the output shaft apparatus.
    Type: Grant

  • Binary machine tool holder
    Patent number: 6749376
    Abstract: A tool holder having two distinct phases, a first phase in which the tool is held in an interference fit with sufficient mechanical interaction between the two for the tool to be rotated at high speed and perform its intended purpose on a workpiece, and a second phase in which the tool is sufficiently released from the interference fit to be rapidly removed from the holder (as by an automated apparatus).
