Manipulators for underwater operations

Purpose
The manipulating devices are designed for equipment of deep-submergence vehicles, manned and unmanned ones; the devices provide hoisting, transporting and assembling works under water.

Design
The manipulating device consists of the actuating mechanism-manipulator, the control device, the control desk and tools.
The manipulating device is supplied as:
- one manipulator of right or left version, with the control device and the control desk;
- two manipulators of right and left version, with the control devices and the control desk.
The manipulator can be provided with additional degree of freedom which extends a working area.
The control device is made in the form of a handle or a replica master.
Tools are housed in magazines.
The manipulator is actuated by the throttle-controlled electrohydraulic servo drive.
The manipulator construction is relieved of underwater hydrostatic pressure.
Tools are operated by the drive arbor of the manipulator gripper.
