An insertion/extraction mechanism is used to cause blind mateable electrical connectors on an electrical module to engage and disengage mating electrical connectors in a housing by forcing the module to and from its fully inserted position within the housing. The mechanism includes a U-shaped handle pivotally mounted to the module at its ends through elastomeric sleeves. The sleeves are each mounted in a mounting hole in the module and each has a central bore within which a mounting shaft, extending from the handle, is housed. Each end of the handle has a camming surface which engages a pivot pin carried by the housing as the handle is pivoted while inserting the module into and withdrawing the module from the housing. This engagement of the camming surfaces and the pivot pins causes the handle ends and the associated mounting shafts to push radially against the elastomeric sleeves as the handle is pivoted during insertion and extraction. The elastomeric sleeves both support the mounting shafts and provide the desired biasing force to help keep the module fully inserted within the housing.

A cable management system for organizing and controlling cables extending from an electronic device while providing substantially unimpeded device access, substantially unrestricted cable movement and substantially unrestricted air flow into and out of the device. The system attaches to a secure structure and is capable of boxing out from the structure to allow access to service a device positioned within the secure structure. The cable management system includes at least three cable arms of rigid material, a coupling member attached between each adjacent pair of the at least three cable arms, where the coupling member provides movement between each of the adjacent pairs of cable arms.

This application relates to methods for applying automated precision machining operations to an oversized workpiece with a compact computer numerical control (CNC) machining apparatus. By shifting an oversized workpiece through a working area of the CNC machining apparatus, the CNC machining apparatus can apply machining operations to any portion of the workpiece in an automated manner. To achieve precision results, a position of the workpiece is tracked as the workpiece is shifted through the working area. In some embodiments, a probe can be utilized to track the shifting of the workpiece by determining a location of a machined feature after a particular shift has been completed. In this way, a position of the workpiece can be tracked without having to rely upon tolerances inherent to a workpiece manipulator.

Rotary tools configured to sand components and accommodate complex geometries thereof are provided. The rotary tools may include a rotary head and a shaft. Bristles and an abrasive material may be coupled to the abrasive material. The rotary tools may additionally include outlets configured to receive a flow of coolant to cool the rotary tool. A system configured to convert a flood coolant system to a through spindle coolant system is also provided. The system may include a hollow shaft with inlets and a redirector therein. A flow receptor may include scoops that receive coolant sprayed from a flood coolant system and direct the coolant through the inlets in the hollow shaft. Thereby, the coolant may contact the redirector and be directed downward through the hollow shaft to a rotary tool, such as the rotary tool described above.
