Ball Manipulator

Ball Manipulator

The CRL Ball Manipulator increases the versatility of the CRL Enclosure System by allowing the operator to work in a glove box without the direct contact of gloves. Booting can be installed in a CRL Enclosure Ring without breaking containment of the glove box, and the tong can be attached to the rod remotely. The Ball Swivel can be manufactured from a variety of materials (including stainless steel, lead, and plastic) to meet radiation shielding requirements.
