    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for monitoring a level of product in a reservoir of a chemical dispensing system. A lid configured to engage an opening of a container includes a level sensor having a transceiver that transmits an output signal and receives a portion of the output signal reflected back to the transceiver. The level sensor determines an amount of the product in the container by comparing a characteristic of the reflected signal, such as time the reflected signal was received, to the characteristic of the output signal, such as the time the output signal was transmitted. The level sensor may also determine the size of the container based on the reflected signal, and take this size into account when determining the amount of product in the container. The level sensor transmits product level data to a mobile device in response to receiving an interrogation signal therefrom.

    Abstract: A power clamp includes a body. A piston assembly is coupled with the body. The piston assembly includes an actuation mechanism and a movable piston rod. A linkage is housed in the body. The linkage is movably coupled with the piston rod. A plunger is movably coupled with the linkage. A clamp hook is coupled with the plunger for clamping a workpiece. The linkage moves the clamp hook between a release and clamping position.

    Abstract: A tool changer 30 with a master half 32 and tool half 34. A securing mechanism has a clasp 70 and a cam 72. The clasps 70 move between a release position and a grasping position. In the grasping position, the master 32 and tool halves 34 are secured together with one another. The cam 72 moves the clasps 70 between the release and grasping positions. From a release position, the master half 32 engages the tool half 34. The master half 32 moves laterally with respect to the tool half 34. This, in turn, moves the cam 72, and thus the clasps, from their release positions to their grasping positions. In the grasping position, the clasps 70 grasp the tool half 34, the cam locks 72 in its grasping position and the master 32 and tool 34 halves secure with one another.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for monitoring a level of product (14) in a reservoir (10, 130, 140, 190, 260) of a chemical dispensing system. A lid (22, 148, 216, 302, 358) configured to engage an opening (28, 136, 138, 146, 204, 352) of a container (12, 198, 354) includes a level sensor (26, 244, 272, 342, 386) having a transceiver (36) that transmits an output signal (38) and receives a portion of the output signal (38) reflected back (42) to the transceiver (36). The level sensor (26, 244, 272, 342, 386) determines an amount of the product (14) in the container (12, 198, 354) by comparing a characteristic of the reflected signal (42), such as time the reflected signal (42) was received, to the characteristic of the output signal (38), such as the time the output signal (38) was transmitted. The level sensor (26, 244, 272, 342, 386) may also determine the size of the container (12, 198, 354) based on the reflected signal (42), and take this size into account when determining the amount of product (14) in the container (12, 198, 354). The level sensor (26, 244, 272, 342, 386) transmits product level data to a mobile device (54) in response to receiving an interrogation signal (66) therefrom.

    Abstract: A remote arm for a manipulator is disclosed, which has a boom tube having a distal end and housing a mechanical communication chain. A floating gearbox assembly is coupled to the boom tube and has an outer framework rigidly coupled to the distal end of the boom tube. An inner framework is retained by the outer framework and is rotatable relative to the outer framework. A drive gear is disposed in the inner framework. which is in mechanical communication with the mechanical communication chain. A wrist joint has a wrist joint housing and an output gear is disposed in the wrist joint housing, where the wrist joint housing is configured to detachably couple to the outer framework. The output gear is configured to mechanically communicate with the drive gear when the wrist joint housing is coupled to the outer framework.

    Abstract: A plunger clamp has a body defining a bore with a plunger slidably held in the body bore. A lever is pivotally connected with the body. A link arm pivotally connects between the plunger and lever. A catch mechanism is coupled with the body. A latch mechanism is coupled with the lever. The catch mechanism and latch mechanism couple with one another to lock the plunger in a first clamped position and in a second released position.
