- OT-2026-000000025
This disclosure describes a modular fixturing base featuring an integrated, keyed grid for encoding and precisely reconstructing the positions of fixturing elements. The system addresses the challenge of accurately replicating complex fixture setups where conventional methods, relying solely on drawings, can introduce
- OT-2026-000000021
A zero point clamping interface incorporates an integrated seating confirmation port to verify the complete engagement of a workpiece pallet. This arrangement addresses the issue of out-of-tolerance machining that can occur when a pallet is clamped but not fully seated, which visually appears identical to a correctly s
- OT-2026-000000016
This disclosure describes an automated system for precisely inserting a component into a receiving aperture using force feedback. The system employs a spiral search pattern to locate the aperture, dynamically bounded by accumulated lateral force to prevent galling or damage. It differentiates between successful seating
- OT-2026-000000014
This disclosure describes a method for automated part insertion using a robotic manipulator. The system employs a force-controlled spiral search pattern to locate an aperture, mitigating issues associated with blind insertion. It differentiates between successful seating and jamming conditions by analyzing accumulated
