  • Publication number: 20240109193
    Abstract: A method includes, during a processing cycle: navigating the sanding head across a region of a workpiece according to a toolpath; and, based on a sequence of force values output by a force sensor coupled to the sanding head, deviating the sanding head from the toolpath to maintain forces of the sanding head on the workpiece region proximal a target force. The method also includes: detecting a sequence of positions of the sanding head traversing the workpiece region; interpreting a surface contour in the workpiece region based on the sequence of positions; detecting a difference between the surface contour and a corresponding target surface defined in a target model of the workpiece; generating a second toolpath for the workpiece region based on the difference; and, during a second processing cycle, navigating the sanding head across the workpiece region according to the second toolpath to reduce the difference.

  • Patent number: 5460455
    Abstract: A pedal crank bearing assembly includes a housing, a tube, two races, two bearings and an axle. The axle is rotatably engaged within the tube by two bearings and at least one bearing is received in an inner side of one of the races which is threadedly engaged to an inner periphery of the housing and the tube is threadedly engaged to an inner periphery of the race. The race has a serrated face defined at an end thereof for engagement to a stop fixed on the tube for preventing the race from rotating.
