OPENTECHNICAL PUBLICATION OT-2026-000001563 Magnetic device emplacement tool Published: 2026-09-15T19:06:41.900725Z Permanent URL: https://opentechnical.org/p/OT-2026-000001563 Categories: Robotics & Automation > Robot Architectures ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ABSTRACT A system includes a magnetic device and an emplacement tool. The emplacement tool includes at least one magnetic rotating member rotatable about a first axis and configured to adhere to a ferrous surface. The emplacement tool also includes a friction fit head configured to hold the magnetic device between internal surfaces of the friction fit head on opposing sides. The emplacement tool further includes a coupler connected to the at least one magnetic rotating member. The coupler is configured to attach to the friction fit head such that the friction fit head extends along a second axis different than the first axis. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenTechnical publication OT-2026-000001563 Published 2026-09-15T19:06:41.900725Z https://opentechnical.org/p/OT-2026-000001563
