Abstract
A robotic medical system includes a post being substantially vertical and coupled to a base; a robotic drive having a socket for receiving the post; and at least one tapered interface shaped and oriented to engage the socket to prevent rotation of the robotic drive about at least one axis.
Claims19
A robotic medical system, comprising:
- a post being substantially vertical and coupled to a base;
- a robotic drive having a socket for receiving the post;
- a first tapered key fixed to the post to engage the socket wherein the first tapered key comprises a first surface substantially parallel to the vertical axis of the post and a first sloped surface opposing the first surface in a first rotational direction about the vertical axis of the post, and
- a second tapered key fixed to the post to engage the socket, wherein the second tapered key comprises a second surface substantially parallel to the vertical axis of the post and a second sloped surface opposing the second surface in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction about the vertical axis of the post.

A robotic medical system, comprising:
- a positioning system coupled to a base, the positioning system including a substantially vertical post;
- and
- a robotic drive having a socket for receiving the post,
- wherein the post includes a first tapered key to engage the socket, the first tapered key positioned at a bottom end of the post and comprising a substantially vertical surface and a sloped surface opposing the substantially vertical surface in a first rotational direction about a vertical axis of the post, and
- wherein the post includes a second tapered key to engage the socket, the second tapered key positioned at the bottom end of the post and comprising a second substantially vertical surface and a second sloped surface opposing the second substantially vertical surface in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction about the vertical axis of the post.
