[PSUBS-MAILIST] Manipulator Gripper / Cutter

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank,
have you got any detailed photos or drawings of your manipulator / rope cutter
that featured on Facebook? Is it all 316?
Or if anyone else has a good gripper design I'd appreciate it.
I am wanting to build an electric manipulator with joints turning directly from the
motor via gears ( as is common in robot arms ) rather than a more robust design
with linear actuators or Pistons. Reason being mainly a wider angle of operation.
I thought I'd start with the gripper first & work backward as then I will know what
weight the next joint needs to support & power it appropriately.
Thanks, Alan
