ABSTRACT:
A power hand-tool support apparatus includes a multi-component articulating arm with pneumatic lifting assist to hold the hand-tool and protect the operator from tool induced torque, the apparatus equipped with positional feedback optical encoders, to communicate with a dedicated control unit to define a selectable datum position of the hand-tool in the work-space with a lock-out of the tool if the positions do not comply with programmed tightening sequences on bolt patterns.
