NIC Carbon Fibre Telescopic Manipulator
NIC Part No: EOD000122
The NIC Carbon Fibre robotic manipulator
allows EOD operators to manipulate suspect devices and objects at a standoff
distance of 3 metres.
Tube sections are fully telescopic, with a
powered claw attachment at the operating end. The claw has a frangible joint,
which fails in the event of an unplanned detonation. This ensures the load
transferred to the operator is reduced.
A fragment shield forward of the operator
offers extended protection in the event of an unplanned detonation.
A counterweight tube assembly is behind the
operator, which balances the manipulator.
The claw opens/closes and rotates under
powered control. The angle of the claw is adjusted manually with locking
screws.
The manipulator collapses down and is
stored in a 1700 Pelican case.
