[PSUBS-MAILIST] Manipulator arm

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

All,
would this idea for rotating the gripper have merit. (See attachment.)
It is simple & can give 90 degrees + of rotation. (would you need more?)
The piston pulls a bolt in a rod down an angled slot in a pipe, turning the rod & gripper.
Ignore the gripper on the end, it's just for show & doesn't have a closing mechanism.
Alan

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
