Abstract
A pad removal device includes a pad guide having a first end and a second end along a first direction, an actuator attached to the first end, and a control assembly coupled to the actuator. The control assembly is configured to cause the actuator to move the first end toward the second end along the first direction, and the pad guide is configured to extend in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction by an amount dependent on a distance between the first end and the second end.
