Model F-X Telemanipulator
The Model F-X Telemanipulator is a modification of the Model F manipulator. It features a Z motion indexing arrangement where both telescoping tubes in the slave arm move when the manipulator is electrically indexed in Z motion. The amount of manual Z motion available is reduced as the slave arm is electrically extended; when fully extended, the master arm is almost fully collapsed, and there is very little manual Z motion available. This indexing feature is useful when the operator must perform a great deal of work with the manipulator extended and the handle would otherwise be too low to be comfortable.

If H <114 or Z < 34.4, the following formulas apply:
| Dimensions in inches | Formula | |
|---|---|---|
| D | Master Collapsed Length | Z + 18.3 |
| E | Slave Collapsed Length | Z + 16.8 |
| F | Extension | E - 22.5 |
| Z | "Z" Motion | 0.333(H) - 3.7 |
Note: Allow space for manipulator accessories.
