Abstract
A tool for machining an object including a first part including a rotatable member that is rotatable to cause rotation of a machine tool, a second part, a joint coupling the first part and the second part to enable relative movement between the first part and the second part, and a sensor to sense an object to be machined.
Claims20
An apparatus for inspecting an object, the apparatus comprising:
- a controller configured to:
- receive data from a sensor of a tool;
- determine control of the tool using the received data;
- and
- provide a control signal to cause control of the tool.

A tool for machining an object, the tool comprising:
- a first part including a rotatable member having a turbine, the rotatable member being rotatable to cause rotation of a machine tool;
- a second part including:
- a sensor configured to sense the object to be machined;
- and
- a cover defining an aperture and a fluid flow passage, the sensor being positioned within the cover and adjacent to the aperture;
- a joint coupling the first part and the second part and configured to enable relative movement between the first part and the second part;
- and
- an energy transmission member including a conduit extending between the first part and the second part and across the joint, the conduit being configured to receive fluid from the fluid flow passage and provide the fluid to the turbine to cause rotation of the rotatable member.
