[PSUBS-MAILIST] Manipulator arm

All,
Hydrolek sells the rototating mechanism separately,
which is in this case a rack & pinion unit. There's probably costs a bomb but
there are a lot on the net to choose from.

A smaller unit than this may be the answer. There would be very little load while

Hank,
That would be great. So on a four function would you have eight penetrations or four penetrations? My goal is to make a good and not to expensive (under $2000) manipulator arm for psub members.

My address is:
Scott Waters
3213 Arnold Ave
Bldg 122
Salina, KS 67401

Thank you,
Scott Waters
