TOOLING SYSTEM WITH VISUAL IDENTIFICATION OF ATTACHED COMPONENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/069488
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A tooling system that includes a drive unit configured to provide rotational force to a tool member. The tool member is attached at a mount on the drive unit. A camera associated with the drive unit is aligned to capture a target on the tool member. The data is sent to a controller that identifies the tool member based on the target. The controller determines whether the tool member is correct for performing an operation on a work piece. If the tool member is correct, the controller may set one or more operating parameters on the drive unit. If the controller determines that the tool member is not correct, the drive unit is disabled. Further, a signal may be sent to inform an operator of the issue.
