Abstract: A tool system is provided and includes a securing element, a hammer element configured to drive a member toward the securing element and first and second orientation elements rigidly disposed on the securing and hammer elements, respectively. The securing and hammer elements have respective operational axes and the first and second orientation elements respectively include orientation sensors configured to cooperatively determine a relative orientation of the respective operational axes.

Abstract: A protective cover is disclosed for teeth of a gear body. The protective cover includes a desiccant disposed in a polymer enclosure. A method of protecting a gear is disclosed. The method involves generating a digital model of a protective cover having a surface portion that matches a surface contour of the gear teeth and inputting the digital model into an additive manufacturing apparatus or system. A protective cover is formed by repeatedly applying energy from an energy source to fuse successively applied incremental quantities of a polymer corresponding to the digital model of the protective cover, and the gear teeth are covered with the surface portion of the protective cover that matches the surface contour of the gear teeth.
