All the
functions for mobility and articulation can be controlled via corded push button remote
controls, joysticks or through a wireless radio frequency controller. These systems
allow the operator to be a substantial distance away from a hazardous or inaccessible
area.
The
NEW highly versatile Mini-Articularm is the link between conventional handling
equipment and expensive robotics systems. It gives the operator full manipulation
capable of handling 100 pounds to 250 pounds at a 72” radius. This allows for
complete dexterity without the physical effort of lifting, stretching and straining to
protect the operator from the danger of injuries.
The
parallelogram arm allows the load to remain parallel to the ground while being
raised or lowered. The unit also rotates 360-degrees and is manually operated;
powered rotation is also available. The forearm attached to the parallelogram arm
swings horizontally from twelve inches away from the mast out to a 72” radius making
a 144” diameter circle. It can lift from ground level up to 72”
high.
The
vertical lifting arm provides 360-degrees wrist rotation that carries the end
effector or tools needed for a particular job. The end effector can be equipped with
three-axis articulation: pitch, roll and yaw. The end effector can be equipped with
a variety of tools, grippers, shovels or scoops. All of the functions are hydraulically
operated and battery powered. For industrial applications, it can be electrically
powered via 110 volt AC or 220/440 volts 3 phase.
The
mobility is provided by a very unique and unparalleled Omni-Directional Platform,
which allows the unit to travel in any direction desired to provide maneuverability in a
tight spot and precise positioning.
The
omni-directional transporter has a variable speed control for smooth acceleration
and deceleration, and can climb up to a 20-degree incline. With the portable
joystick control, the operator can position the unit in any desired location. The
omni-wheel clearly demonstrates superior mobility compared to any other undercarriage ever
designed.
With
the wide variety of attachments, six-axis manipulation and omni-directional
mobility, the unit can be used for a great variety of applications such as:
| |
- Assembly of electronic panels
|
|
| |
- Glass & delicate parts handling
|
|
| |
|
- Lifting & dumping containers
|
| |
|
|
- Military & Security
industries
|
|
|
| |
|
- Handling toxic & nuclear materials
|
This equipment will increase
productivity, save time, improve safety, eliminate fatigue and injuries, and yes, even
save lives.
