Abstract

An apparatus includes a first coupling member for receiving a first device and a second coupling member connected to or formed with the first coupling member at a proximal end portion of the first coupling member. The second coupling member includes a revolving exterior surface having a first revolving segment proximal to the first coupling member and a second revolving segment distal to the first coupling member. Each of the first and second revolving segments of the revolving exterior surface has a first side and a second side that is narrower than the first side. The second sides of the first and second revolving segments of the revolving exterior surface face each other. The revolving exterior surface is automation-compatible and operable by a robotic arm, facilitating automation of the first device.
