  • Patent number: 11619569
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a tissue planing assembly includes a base frame, a plurality of disassemblable components assembled to the base frame and having a ready configuration, a sample conveyor, a blade assembly configured to be coupled to the base frame, a control unit communicatively coupled to the sample conveyor, and one or more component sensors communicatively coupled to the control unit. The plurality of disassemblable components is configured to support a tissue sample. The sample conveyor is configured to convey the tissue sample through the blade assembly. The one or more components sensors are configured to output a signal indicative of at least one of the plurality of disassemblable components missing from the ready configuration, wherein the control unit prohibits operation of the sample conveyor when at least one of the plurality of disassemblable components is missing from the ready configuration.
