Abstract: An electromechanical machine includes a stator. A rotor is configured to rotate relative to the stator about a rotational axis. A coil extends about the axis and is wound on a bobbin. The bobbin surrounds the axis and has a circumferentially extending pocket in which the coil is located. The bobbin further has a circumferentially-extending overhang section that extends directly over at least a portion of the coil.

Abstract: A direct clamp robotic finishing system is provided including a robot, a gripper secured to the robot, and a pair of fingers secured to the gripper. A tray assembly is also provided for supporting a plurality of implants for picking up by the fingers. An implant reorientation station is provided for supporting the implant being maneuvered by the robot as the robot re-grips the implant from a new direction. The fingers directly clamp the implant thereby eliminating the need for dedicated implant support bars.

Abstract: A stacked three head finishing apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a base mountable to a floor, a first head mounted to the base, a second head mounted to the base above the first head, and a third head mounted to the base above the second head. Each of the first, second, and third heads includes a rotatable wheel. A motor imparts rotation to the wheel which may then be used for finishing operations. The height of each head above the floor and the position relative to one another is pre-selected to ensure that all of the heads are within reach of a robot arm and to ensure that nothing will interfere with the movement of the robot arm.
