  • Bottom lighting system for use with a conveyer system
    Patent number: 5521800
    Abstract: A lighting system for use in a conveyer system used for work piece assembly comprising a lifting means (285) having one or more transparent upper lifting members (260) for lifting the work piece (270) and a lighting means (230) positioned below the transparent members and rotatably coupled to the lifting means (285) by a rotating means. The lighting means rotatably extends when the lifting means (285) is raised, thereby providing illumination to the work piece (270), and rotatably retracts when the lifting means (285) is lowered.

  • Blood tube safety box
    Patent number: 5375716
    Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a durable, lightweight disposable container containing a plurality of holders for holding blood product tubes. These tubes are firmly secured in each slot yet can be easily removed from the slot after filling. According to a preferred embodiment, the box can be fixed to a table top or other substantially flat surface in an area where the blood drawing procedure is to occur.

  • Circuit assembly device for programmably controlling placement force and method thereto
    Patent number: 5308132
    Abstract: A robotic placement device (FIG. 1) comprises a programmable end-effector (200) for picking and placing component parts. The programmable end-effector (200) comprises a cylinder (201) having a piston (202) including a first (203) and second (208) shafts coupled together. The first shaft (203) of the piston is larger than the second shaft (208). A controller (102) controls a pressure applied to the cylinder (201) and the piston (202) including the first (203) and second (208) shafts of the programmable end-effector (200) establishes a predetermined placement force at the programmable end-effector (200) while placing component parts. A control circuit 118 senses the pressure and in response thereto generates a signal. A processor 108 coupled to the controller (102) processes the signal and in response thereto varying the pressure for maintaining a substantially constant placement force at the programmable end-effector (200) while the programmable end-effector (200) moves vertically.

  • Robotic placement device using compliant imaging surface
    Patent number: 5131753
    Abstract: An automated component placement device (100) includes an automated robotic transporter (108) that transports a component (106) into an illuminated area (104) on a translucent compliant surface (102) upon which components (104) are placed in a three dimensional orientation such that a silhouette of the components, leads, coplanar or non-coplanar are created on the translucent compliant surface (102) when the translucent compliant surface (102) is flexed. The position of silhouette of the component (106) is used to determine the orientation of the component held by the robotic transporter (108) to facilitate the placement of the component (106).
