Model F Telemanipulator
The Model F Telemanipulator is a very rugged modification of the Model E manipulator. This manipulator is capable of withstanding all the forces that a normal person can exert in manual manipulation. A dual-ratio automatic pistol grip handle combined with rugged-duty tongs provides adequate gripping force.
A version designated the Model F-X features an alternate Z extension arrangement for a different slave arm coverage.
| Dimensions in inches | Typical | Formula | |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Removal Clearance | 150.00 | B + E + 15 |
| B | Centerline Distance | 78.00 | I + J + K |
| C | Minimum Height Clearance (21 min.) | 24.33 | 0.5(F) + 7.7 |
| D | Master Collapsed Length | 57.00 | 1.25(Z) + 8.25 |
| E | Slave Collapsed Length | 57.00 | 1.25(Z) + 8.25 |
| F | Extension | 33.25 | 0.8(E) - 12.35 |
| H | Slave Extended Length | 129.25 | {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 (40 min.) | 40.00 | |
| O | Minimum Cell Depth | 53.50 | E - 3.5 |
| R | Tong Tip Radius at L | 62.39 | |
| Z | "Z" Motion | 39.00 | 0.308(H) - 0.8 |
If H <114 or Z < 34.4, the following formulas apply:
| Dimensions in inches | Formula | |
|---|---|---|
| D | Master Collapsed Length | Z + 16.8 |
| E | Slave Collapsed Length | Z + 16.8 |
| F | Extension | E - 22.5 |
| Z | "Z" Motion | 0.333(H) - 3.7 |
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.
