The Robotic Telescopic Manipulator has been developed 
with leading EOD operators in the British Army. The 3-metre telescopic arm features a frangible section which significantly increases operator safety, in the event of an unplanned detonation.
Benefits
- Operators may carry out tasks from a 3-metre distance, offering increased levels of safety;
- Ability to place disrupters, X-ray equipment and a host of other tools used in device disposal and investigation;
- Jaws open/close and rotate under powered control. The angle of the jaws is achieved by manual adjustment;
- Adjustable counterweight for perfect balance;
- Telescopic tube sections, that simply plug together;
- Transport case (1700 Pelican);
- Rechargeable battery (charger included);
- Twice the rigidity of other telescopic manipulators.
The extendable rear counterweight allows balance to be aintained whilst working. Them counterweight may be preset, so that once a suspect device is lifted, perfect balance is achieved, making handling easier for the operator.
The robotic claw is positioned at the end of a 3-metre telescopic arm. In the event of an unplanned detonation, a frangible section of the arm will fail first, significantly reducing the force transferred along the manipulator to the operator.
The robotic claw is able to manipulate disrupters, X-ray equipment and a host of other tools used in disposal or investigation techniques. The ability to grasp, and rotate objects in the claw also offers the options of moving devices into containment vessels, or to reposition them. Once a device is held in the jaws, the ability to rotate the jaws ensures that the device may be moved to the safest orientation for the operator.
