ABSTRACT:
A system (46) for adjusting an end effector (48) of an apparatus (44) includes a linear actuator (58) attachable with an arm (52) of the apparatus (44). The system (46) further includes a first link member (64) having a first segment (68) operatively coupled with the linear actuator (58), and a second link member (66) maintained in parallel alignment with a second segment (70) of the first link member (64). The first and second link members (64, 66) pivotally attach to the end effector (48), and movement of the first segment (68) powered by the actuator (58) causes the first and second link members (64, 66) to pivot producing movement of the end effector (48) relative to a workpiece (26). A force transducer (76) interposed between the actuator (58) and the first link member (64) is utilized to control a pressure of the end effector (48) against the workpiece (26).
