  • RECIPROCATING IMPACT TOOL WITH MOTOR CONTROL
    Publication number: 20250242483
    Abstract: A power tool that includes a housing, an electric motor, an input device, a reciprocation drive assembly, a striker, an anvil, and an electronic controller is provided. The electronic controller can control the electric motor based on a state of the input device. The electronic controller can receive a first signal from the input device, the first signal indicating a first constant speed of the electric motor, and, in response to the first signal, set an operational speed of the electric motor to the first constant speed. The electronic controller can further receive a second signal from the input device, the second signal indicating a second constant speed of the electric motor that is greater than the first constant speed, and, in response to the second signal, set the operational speed of the electric motor to the second constant speed.

  • POWER TOOL INCLUDING FALL DETECTION AND AUTOSTOP
    Publication number: 20250121469
    Abstract: A power tool including a motor configured to produce an output, and a sensor configured to measure an acceleration of the power tool along at least one of three spatial axes and generate an output signal related to the acceleration. The power tool further including a controller configured to receive the output signal related to the acceleration of the power tool from the sensor, compare the acceleration of the power tool to a free-fall acceleration threshold, initiate a timer when the acceleration of the power tool corresponds to the free-fall acceleration threshold, compare the timer to a free-fall timer threshold, and stop the motor from producing the output when the timer is greater than or equal to the free-fall timer threshold.
