  • Publication number: 20260346478
    Abstract: An example assembly includes an adapter configured to be coupled to a tooling arm, wherein the adapter comprises a tapered proximal end; a receiver configured to receive the adapter therein, a split ring bushing disposed within the receiver, wherein the split ring bushing has a tapered interior surface; and a spring that biases the split ring bushing in a distal direction, wherein as the adapter is pushed in a proximal direction within the receiver, the tapered proximal end of the adapter is received within the split ring bushing and interfaces with the tapered interior surface of the split ring bushing, causing the split ring bushing to expand against an interior surface of the receiver, thereby securing the split ring bushing in-position and reducing looseness between the adapter and receiver.
