  Robotic Tool Centre Point Verification Using Three-Plane Reference Artefact
  September 15, 2026 · Tool Centre Point Systems · 3 figures · 2,500 words

  This disclosure describes an arrangement for verifying the tool centre point (TCP) of a robotic manipulator using a three-plane touch routine against a fixed reference artefact. The method addresses inaccuracies arising from tool changes, damage, or mounting variations, which can silently shift the TCP and compromise p

  Redundant Locking Detection for Robotic Tool Changer Coupling
  September 15, 2026 · Tool Changers · 3 figures · 2,772 words

  This disclosure describes a tool changer coupling system incorporating redundant locking detection mechanisms independent of the actuator state. The problem addressed is the potential for tool drops when a coupling reports locked solely based on actuator position, without confirming mechanical engagement of the locking
