==SAFE SCREWING DEVICE HAVING COMPLIANCE MECHANISM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009783 titled 'SAFE SCREWING DEVICE HAVING COMPLIANCE MECHANISM

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a patent application for a screwing device that can be attached to a robot arm. The device includes a housing and a screw holding portion that can hold a screw and bring it into contact with a screw hole on an object. A motor is used to rotate the screw holding portion. The device also includes an alert unit that allows the screw holding portion to move away from a structure if the force applied by the structure or the screw exceeds a certain level. In such cases, the device enters a failure mode where the motor is turned off.

* The screwing device is detachably attached to a robot arm.
* It includes a housing and a screw holding portion fixed to the housing.
* The screw holding portion can hold a screw and bring it into contact with a screw hole on an object.
* A motor is used to rotate the screw holding portion.
* An alert unit allows the screw holding portion to move away from a structure if the force applied exceeds a predefined level.
* The device enters a failure mode when the force exceeds the predefined level, turning off the motor.

Potential Applications:
* Assembly line automation
* Industrial manufacturing processes
* Construction and carpentry

Problems Solved:
* Ensures the screw holding portion can move away from a structure or screw if excessive force is applied, preventing damage or injury.
* Provides a fail-safe mechanism to protect the device and prevent further damage in case of excessive force.

Benefits:
* Increases efficiency and speed in screwing tasks by utilizing a robot arm.
* Reduces the risk of damage or injury by allowing the screw holding portion to move away from excessive force.
* Provides a reliable and safe solution for screwing operations.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a screwing device including a connection portion configured to be detachably attached to a robot arm and a housing and a screw holding portion fixed to the housing. the screw holding portion is configured to hold a screw and bring the screw into contact with a screw hole of an object arranged in a predefined position. the screwing device includes a motor arranged to rotate the screw holding portion with respect to its longitudinal axis. the screwing device includes an alert unit configured to allow the screw holding portion to be moved away from a structure when the force by which the structure presses against the screw holding portion or a screw held by the screw holding portion exceeds a predefined level. the alert unit configured to bring the screwing device into a failure mode, in which the motor is turned off when the force exceeds the predefined level.
