Abstract:

The universal adaptor provides a simple and inexpensive means for converting standard commercial power tools for remote operation in a hot cell. Power tools equipped with these adaptors can be attached and held firmly by either the General Mills or the modified Model 8 manipulator. The method of attaching the tool to the arm of the manipulator is rapid so that operation is speeded up and the work accomplished is increased. Operators find the tools easy to control and change from one manipulator to the other. The modifications to the Model 8 manipulator to accommodate the adaptor do not interfere with the normal operation of the hand, but extend the capability of the device beyond that of the original design.
