  • Sterile Barrier Assembly, Mounting System, And Method For Coupling Surgical Components
    Publication number: 20230100361
    Abstract: A mounting system includes a first mounting portion associated with an arm of a surgical robot and a second mounting portion associated with an end effector for the surgical robot. The first mounting portion includes a body, a cover plate fixed to the body, and receptacles defined in the cover plate and each receptacle defining a contact surface. The second mounting portion is releasably coupled to the first mounting portion and supports an interface with kinematic couplers to engage the contact surfaces of the receptacles of the first mounting portion and to provide a kinematic coupling between the first and second mounting portions to constrain six degrees of freedom between the arm and the end effector. The mounting system includes a preloading mechanism with a tensioner rotatable between a tensioned position and an untensioned position to clamp the first and second mounting portions together.
