摘要:
A surgical instrument system comprising an end effector, a firing member, a handle, and a motor is disclosed. The end effector is movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration when a closing motion is applied to the end effector. The firing member is configured to perform a staple firing stroke when a firing motion is applied to the firing member. The motor is configured to generate the firing motion. The surgical instrument system further comprises means for preventing the firing member from performing the staple firing stroke prior to sensing the closing motion. The means comprises a circuit switch.
