ROBOTICALLY-CONTROLLED DISPOSABLE MOTOR-DRIVE LOADING UNIT

摘要

A self contained motor-powered disposable loading unit (16) for use with a robotic system configured to generate control systems there¬ for. The disposable loading unit may contain a battery (526) that is retained in a disconnected position when the disposable loading unit is not in use and is moved to a connected position when the dispos¬ able loading unit is coupled to the robotic system to permit the motor (562) to be selectively powered thereby. Indicators may be support¬ ed on the disposable loading unit to indicate when the axial drive as¬ sembly thereof is in a starting position and an ending position. Anoth¬ er indicator may be provided to indicate when the anvil assembly is in a closed position.
