The first knurled assembly and the second knurled assembly are each cylindrically shaped. The first knurled assembly is centrally affixed to the stem. The shaft is centrally affixed to the first knurled assembly opposite the stem. The second knurled assembly is centrally affixed to the shaft opposite the first knurled assembly. The first knurled assembly and the second knurled assembly each selectively expand laterally. In the first state, the first knurled assembly and the second knurled assembly are each not laterally expanded. In the second state, at least one of the first knurled assembly and the second knurled assembly are laterally expanded. The stem is configured to be inserted into a chuck of a power drill. The stem is cross-sectionally hexagonally shaped and includes a region of decreased diameter.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2021Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Inventor: Ricardo Godina

Patent number: 8533930Abstract: A manually actuated robotic tool changer includes a rapid coupling mechanism. The tool changer includes a master unit having a piston moveable along its axis between an unlocked position and a fully locked position, and a tool unit that is coupled to the master unit when the units are adjacent and the piston is moved to the fully locked position. A piston movement control mechanism selectively allows free axial motion of the piston between the unlocked position and a nearly locked position, when the control mechanism is actuated. The piston may be biased toward the locked position, allowing the master and tool units to be rapidly coupled by positioning the units adjacently, actuating the control mechanism to allow the piston to rapidly advance to a nearly locked position, releasing the control mechanism to restrict free axial motion of the piston, and manually advancing the piston to a fully locked position.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2010Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: ATI Industrial Automation, Inc.Inventor: Daniel Allen Norton

Patent number: 8209840Abstract: In a robotic tool coupler, a rotating cam member having a plurality of surfaces formed therein urges a plurality of ball members in one tool coupling unit radially to contact an angled surface in the other tool coupling unit. Further rotation of the cam member exerts a radial force through the ball members onto the angled surface. A component of that force is directed by the angled surface toward the opposite tool coupling unit, locking the two units together. The cam member may include a failsafe surface and/or a failsafe lobe to maintain the two units locked together in the event of a loss of power to positively actuate the cam member.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2007Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: ATI Industrial Automation, Inc.Inventor: Daniel Allen Norton

Patent number: 8132816Abstract: A robotic tool changer comprises first and second units, operative to be separately attached to a robot and a robotic tool, and further operative to be selectively coupled together and decoupled. The first and second units are coupled and decoupled by an electric motor. Power from the electric motor may be applied to couple and decouple the first and second units in a variety of ways.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2007Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: ATI Industrial Automation, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Allen Norton, Michael Joseph Hill, Michael L.

Patent number: 7931229Abstract: A rolled medium supporting mechanism includes a supporting member 210 that rotatably supports a rolled medium. The mechanism is provided with a plurality of abutting supporting members 230 arranged in the circumferential direction of the supporting member and supporting the rolled medium by making abutting contact with an inner peripheral face of a hollow shaft portion of the rolled medium when the mechanism is inserted into the hollow shaft portion of the rolled medium. The abutting supporting members are configured to be freely displaced in a roll-diameter direction in accordance with an inner diameter of the hollow shaft portion. With such a configuration, it is not necessary to have a separate component in order to adapt to core members having different diameters, but only displacement of the abutting supporting member is needed. Thus, it is possible to simplify the construction and provide easy handling properties.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2007Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventor: Shin Genta

Patent number: 7731458Abstract: The invention concerns a clamping element of a coupling device for releasably but axially and rotationally fixing tool components for dry machining (MMS technology) and for wet machining. The element provides a friction-type connection between the components to be coupled. A cooling tube is arranged at the center of the coupling device. The spindle is provided with an elongated hole run through which cooling tube passes. A variable contour between the base body and the clamping segment enables an increase in distribution of forces for the support of the clamping segments. The novel geometry of the clamping segments results in novel contours in the base body with smoother transitions, hence a better force distribution, thereby reducing material breakage and a more reliable and robust clamping. By virtue of their novel geometry, the clamping segments have an increased surface enabling larger clamping screws to be used.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2009Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Inventor: Klaus Matheis

Patent number: 6457920Abstract: A clamping system for detachably assembling two pieces. The clamping system includes a clamping device concentrically mounted in a receiving section which extends in a hollow shaft of one of the two pieces, when the two pieces are engaged. The clamping system further includes at least two clamping bodies which can move in opposite directions and an actuating device which actuates the clamping bodies. The clamping bodies can be engaged with an undercut clamping shoulder of the hollow shaft and disengaged therefrom, whereby a pressure force is applied between the flat surfaces of the two pieces to be assembled.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2000Date of Patent: October 1, 2002Assignee: Joerg GuehringInventor: Gilbert Kleiner
