The A1000 - The Power Manipulator with a sense
of touch
The A1000 is a modular power manipulator system, designed for
use in areas unfit for human presence.
All movements are electrically driven and can be remotely controlled.
Ranges of movement are optimized in order to reach any point inside
the cell. Particular flexibility is attained by unlimited telescope
rotations, unimpeded by cables or wiring.
Due to the synoptic arrangement of the operating elements on the
control console, in form of a manipulator, intuitive operation
is possible. Speeds and forces of movements can be continuously
adjusted.
Dimensions and capacity of the power manipulatorcan be adapted
to various applications. If required, an extension of the system
by additional components, for instance an auxiliary crane or TELBOT,
is possible.
A1000 for China
In December 2003 a further A1000 for reprocessing was supplied to
China. This 17 meters long telescope allows up to 13 meters of stroke
travels. The arm is equipped with an additional crane at the same
bridge.
