Abstract
A power vise including a body and a jaw connected to and extending from the vise body. The vise can also include an actuator extending at least partially through the jaw body, where the actuator can include a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The vise can include a moving jaw connected to the first end of the actuator. The vise can include a motor connected to the second end of the actuator, where the motor can be operable to move the actuator to move the moving jaw with respect to the fixed jaw, including a hammering or impacting function, and that such hammering or impacting can be performed after a predetermined delay. The vise can include a sensor configured to produce a signal based on a condition of the vise and to control the vise at least in part on using that signal.
Claims20
A power vise, comprising:
- a vise body;
- a motor disposed at least on or in about the vise body;
- a first jaw and a second jaw;
- at least one actuator connected such that the motor moves the first jaw with respect to the second jaw;
- an impact driver connected to the motor and the at least one actuator to deliver impact force to the first jaw with respect to the second jaw;
- and
- a controller configured to operate the motor to move the first jaw with respect to the second jaw,
- wherein the controller is configured to sense closing of the first jaw and the second jaw and apply an impacting function after the adjustable delay to adjust a force output of the motor based on the adjustable delay.
A power vise, comprising:
- a vise body;
- a fixed jaw connected to and extending from the vise body;
- an actuator extending at least partially through a body of the fixed jaw, the actuator including a first end and a second end opposite the first end;
- a moving jaw connected to the first end of the actuator;
- a motor connected to the second end of the actuator, the motor operable to move the actuator to move the moving jaw with respect to the fixed jaw;
- an impact driver configured to controllably provide impact from the motor to the actuator;
- and
- a controller connected to the vise body, the controller configured to operate the motor to move the moving jaw and to control hammering from the impact driver,
- wherein the controller is configured to sense closing of the fixed jaw and the moving jaw and to activate hammering from the impact driver after an adjustable delay.
