Model E Telemanipulator
The Model E Telemanipulator is essentially an extended-reach version of the popular Model 8 manipulator. Extension is provided by a motor drive controlled by a switch on the master handle. The extension motion is fully counterbalanced and full manual Z motion remains available at all positions of extension.
A version designated the Model E-X features an alternate Z extension arrangement for a different slave arm coverage.
| Dimensions in inches | Typical | Formula | |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Removal Clearance | 148.40 | B + E + 15 |
| B | Centerline Distance | 78.00 | I + J + K |
| C | Minimum Height Clearance (21 min.) | 26.36 | 0.5(F) + 7.7 |
| D | Master Collapsed Length | 55.40 | 1.2(Z) + 7.4 |
| E | Slave Collapsed Length | 55.40 | 1.2(Z) + 7.4 |
| F | Extension | 37.32 | 0.833(E) - 8.85 |
| H | Slave Extended Length | 132.70 | {SQRT[(R*R) + (L*L)]} - 6 |
| I | Slave Overhang (8 min.) | 18.00 | |
| J | Wall Thickness | 36.00 | |
| K | Master Overhang (24 min.) | 24.00 | |
| L | Operating Height | 120.00 | |
| M | Mounting Height | 120.00 | |
| N | Separation (32 min.) | 32.00 | |
| O | Minimum Cell Depth | 51.40 | E - 4 |
| R | Tong Tip Radius at L | 69.55 | |
| Z | "Z" Motion | 42.00 | 0.3125(H) - 1.47 |
If H <89.5 or Z < 26.5, the following formulas apply:
| Dimensions in inches | Formula | |
|---|---|---|
| D | Master Collapsed Length | Z + 12.7 |
| E | Slave Collapsed Length | Z + 12.7 |
| F | Extension | E - 15.4 |
| Z | "Z" Motion | 0.333(H) - 3.33 |
For a Model E-X, the following formulas apply:
| Dimensions in inches | Formula | |
|---|---|---|
| C | Minimum Height Clearance (21 min.) | 0.5(F) + 11.4 |
D and E need not be equal, but Z must be based on the shorter of the two dimensions.
Note: Allow space for manipulator accessories.
