Apparatus including powered tool configured to fasten fastener to assembly

摘要

An apparatus includes a powered tool configured to fasten a fastener to an assembly. The powered tool includes a fastener-driving assembly configured to selectively operatively engage the fastener. The fastener-driving assembly is also configured to selectively transmit a fastening force to the fastener. The powered tool also includes a fastener-engagement assembly configured to permit operative engageable access between the fastener-driving assembly and the fastener. For a case where the fastener-engagement assembly permits operative engageable access between the fastener-driving assembly and the fastener, the fastener-driving assembly may operatively engage the fastener, and the fastener-driving assembly may transmit the fastening force to the fastener.

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a powered tool configured to fasten a fastener to an assembly, the powered tool including:
a fastener-driving assembly configured to operatively selectively engage the fastener, and also configured to selectively transmit a fastening force to the fastener;a fastener-engagement assembly configured to permit operative engageable access between the fastener-driving assembly and the fastener;a controller assembly operatively interfaced with the fastener-driving assembly and with the fastener-engagement assembly;the fastener-driving assembly being configured to apply an amount of fastening force in response to receiving a force-control signal from the controller assembly; andthe fastener-engagement assembly being configured to selectively move between a first position and a second position in response to receiving a movement-control signal from the controller assembly.
