A200 Systemmanipulator

The Manipulator A200

meets all requirements for remote handling of objects and tools in areas inaccessible for humans. It is particularly suited for installation in small cells and boxes.

The manipulator is provided with two arms, similar to the human arm. They are composed of three joints each: Shoulder, elbow and wrist.

The two arms are installed on opposite sides of a shielding wall. They are connected by a through-wall tube fitted into the shielding wall. The through-wall tube is the shielding barrier between
operator and working side of a cell or box, which may be of gastight design. The arm on the operator side is called "Master Arm". Its movements are transmitted to the "Slave Arm".
The "Slave Arm" on the working side reproduces these movements precisely and simultaneously. It freezes in the position in which it, or rather the "Master Arm", is released.

The Manipulator System A200 is provided with 7 degrees of freedom:

• Manipulator pivot right-left
• Upper arm pivot
• Lower arm pivot fore-aft
• Lower arm rotation
• Tongs elevation
• Tongs twist
• Tongs open/close

It is distinguished between Models A201 / A201e and A202.
The A201 is designed for mounting heights of approx. 1850 mm up to 2250 mm.
The A201e is of identical design, however with electrical shifting for left-right and fore-aft
movements.
In addition the A202 is gastight in the shielding wall or box through-wall tube, otherwise it is identical to the A201.

Removable Tongs
The standard Manipulator A201 is equipped with fixed tongs. Removable tongs are available as
an option. It is attached to the wrist of the "Slave Arm" with a quick coupling.
Booting
Manipulators A201 and A202 can be fitted with protective covers (Bootings) in order to prevent
contamination and pollution of the "Slave Arm.
