The System 50 is a sealed manipulator with power assisted grip, capable of handling up to 50 pound (23 kg) loads with a minimum tong squeeze force of 80 pounds (36 kg). The System 50 can be separated into three easily installed and serviceable sections. The System 50 utilizes low-friction ferro-fluidic seals to isolate the cell from the external atmosphere.
| Dimensions in inches | Typical | Formula | |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Removal Clearance (entire manip.) | 162.58 | C + E + 13.3 |
| B | Removal Clearance (w/o master) | 126.28 | E + I + J + 7.0 |
| C | Centerline Distance (51.88 min.) | 90.00 | I + J + K |
| D | Master Collapsed Length | 59.28 | * |
| E | Slave Collapsed Length | 59.28 | 0.6(Z + F) + 14.88 |
| F | Extension | 37.00 | ** |
| G | Master Overhead (18 min.) | 18.00 | Z - D + 32.94 |
| H | Slave Extended Length | 133.28 | {SQRT[(R*R) + (L*L)]} - 8.25 |
| I | Slave Overhang (24 min.) | 24.00 | |
| J | Wall Tube Length (16.5 min.) | 36.00 | |
| K | Master Overhang (30 min.) | 30.00 | |
| L | Operating Height | 120.00 | |
| M | Mounting Height | 120.00 | |
| R | Tong Tip Radius at L | 75.04 | |
| S | Separation (28 min.) | 28.00 | |
| Z | "Z" Motion | 37.00 | 0.625(H) - F - 9.3 |
If H <114.88 or Z < 62.5, the following formulas apply:
| Dimensions in inches | Formula | |
|---|---|---|
| E | Slave Collapsed Length | 0.5(Z + F) + 21.12 |
| Z | "Z" Motion | 0.667(H) - F - 14.08 |
* D is usually equal to E but can be larger or smaller for operator comfort.
** F is usually equal to Z but can be larger or smaller to get the exact reach desired.
Their sum determines the slave collapsed length E.
