Model L Telemanipulator
The Model L Telemanipulator uses quadruple, nitrile rubber, oil lubricated lip seals to provide essentially zero leak rate. Entirely satisfactory operation has been achieved in large vacuum chambers at 10E-7 torr. The seal interspace can be either pressurized or evacuated to monitor leakage, but a choice must be made at the time of ordering. The slave arm indexes to full horizontal position for installation or removal of a complete manipulator from the operator side of the cell. The slave end may be exchanged within the cell if necessary.
| Dimensions in inches | Typical | Formula | |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Removal Clearance | 97.50 | B + G + 11 |
| B | Centerline Distance | 57.00 | C + D + W |
| C | Slave Overhang (15 min.) | 15.00 | |
| D | Master Overhang (24 min.) | 24.00 | |
| E | Minimum Height Clearance | 17.30 | 1.2(Z) + 10.8 - F |
| F | Master Collapsed Length | 29.50 | * |
| G | Slave Collapsed Length | 29.50 | 0.7(Z) + 8.5 |
| H | Slave Extended Length | 59.50 | {SQRT[(R*R) + (L*L)]} - 6 |
| I | Minimum Cell Depth | 30.00 | G + 0.5 |
| L | Operating Height | 56.00 | |
| M | Mounting Height | 96.00 | |
| R | Tong Tip Radius at L | 33.97 | |
| S | Separation (28 min.) | 28.00 | |
| W | Wall Thickness (11 min.) | 18.00 | |
| Z | "Z" Motion | 30.00 | 0.588(H) - 5 |
If H <49.94 or Z < 23.38, the following formulas apply:
| Dimensions in inches | Formula | |
|---|---|---|
| E | Minimum Height Clearance | Z + 15.7 - F |
| G | Slave Collapsed Length | 0.5(Z) + 13.38 |
| Z | "Z" Motion | 0.666(H) - 8.9 |
* F is usually equal to G but can be larger or smaller than G for operator comfort
(min. F = 12")
W + C must be greater than or equal to 29".
Note: Allow space for manipulator accessories.
