Abstract
Assemblies for cutting objects including a platform with a cutting element linked to the platform. The platform configured with an electro-actuation clutch for selective movement of the platform. Wherein movement of the platform via actuation of the electro-actuation clutch enables manipulation of the cutting element. A method for cutting objects.
Claims24
An assembly for cutting objects, comprising:
- a platform;
- a cutting element linked to the platform;
- the platform configured with an electro-actuation clutch for selective movement of the platform;
- and
- wherein movement of the platform via actuation of the electro-actuation clutch enables manipulation of the cutting element.
2 more elements
A method for cutting objects, comprising:
- actuating an electro-actuation clutch to selectively move a platform,
- wherein movement of the platform enables manipulation of a cutting element linked to the platform;
- setting the platform proximate an object;
- and
- cutting a surface of the object with the cutting element.
2 more elements
A method for cutting objects, comprising:
- determining a wall thickness of an object;
- calculating a cutting path for the object in real time based on the determined wall thickness;
- and
- manipulating a platform configured with a cutting element to cut the object along the calculated cutting path.
1 more element
A tool, comprising:
- a body configured for engagement to a manipulator;
- and
- at least one wheel to enable compliance of the tool using a rolling contact surface.
A tool, comprising:
- a body configured for engagement to a manipulator,
- wherein compliance of the tool on at least one axis is controllable via an electromagnetic force actuated on the body.
A tool, comprising:
- a multi-member body configured for engagement to a manipulator,
- wherein at least one member of the body can be changed using capacitive stiction force to grip and release different members of the multi-member body.
A tool, comprising:
- a body configured for engagement to a manipulator;
- the body configured for compliance on at least one axis;
- and
- a cutting element linked to the body,
- wherein a depth parameter associated with the cutting element can be altered.
2 more elements
A tool, comprising:
- a body configured for engagement to a manipulator;
- and
- a cutting element linked to the body,
- wherein the body is configured for autonomous replacement of the cutting element.
