Abstract

A device for manipulating a pair of tongs behind a shielding barrier has been built and tested. It is called a Master-Slave Manipulator because the slave tongs move in exact correspondence with a master handle. The "slave hands" follow the master hands in complete synchronism. This is the first completely master-slave manipulator known to exist and has proved that this type of manipulation is very successful when the unit is prooperly engineered and built.

MANIPULATING DEVICES INCLUDING MASTER AND SLAVE PORTIONS

Patent Griggs, F

A manipulating device for the remote handling of objects, which consists of master and slave portions, is described. The tongs of the slave portion are normally held in an open position by one or more springs. Operation of the control grip in the master portion, transmitted to the slave by means of one or more control wires running over guide pulleys, closes the tongs against the force of the springs. Means are provided by springs inserted into the wire connected to each limb of the tongs to prevent the control wire from becoming dislodged from a guide pulley should onemore »« less
TASK PERFORMANCE WITH THE CRL MODEL 8 MASTER-SLAVE MANIPULATOR AS A FUNCTION OF COLOR-CODING, DISTANCE, AND PRACTICE

Technical Report Baker, D; Crawford, B

The ability of Master-Slave Manipulator (CRL Model 8) operators to identify the slave hands and their movements with corresponding components and functions of the human body was investigated. A handling task involving rearrangement of blocks was devised to be performed with standard slave jaws (red jaws) and with slave jaws modified so that the jaw corresponding to the thumb of the operator was green. The task was performed at distances of 9, 36, and 63 in. from the radiation shield. Work time as a function of task distance was investigated and work ratios, based on mean time scores for directmore »« less
IMPROVED MASTER-SLAVE MANIPULATOR HAND

Journal Article Leith, W - Nucleonics (U.S.) Ceased publication

A new hand has been developed for the Argonne-type master-slave manipulators in use at the Savamah River Laboratory. An innovation in the hand is the flexibility provided by detachable fingers. An impontant advantage is the protection afforded moving parts of the hand against contamination by the gauntlet. The hand is now standard on all new SRL manipulators. (C.W.H.)
Decontamination and renovation of the Master/Slave Manipulator Repair Shop and the Chemical Crane Room at the West Valley Demonstration Project. Final topical report, June 1982-June 1983

Technical Report Phillips, E; Golden, M

This report describes the decontamination and renovation of the Master/Slave Manipulator Repair Shop (MSMRS) and the Chemical Crane Room (CCR) at the WVDP from radioactively contaminated conditions to essentially shirt sleeve environments. In both cases, subsequent use recontaminated the rooms. Before decontamination, general exposure rates as high as 20 mrad/hr and surface contamination as high as 10/sup 5/ dpm/100 cm/sup 2/ were measured in the MSMRS, while general exposure rates in the CCR were 50 to 100 mrad/hr with hot spots as high as 2000 mrad/hr. Smearable levels on the floor in each room were in the range of 10/supmore »« less
Master-Slave Manipulator Maintenance

Technical Report Paige, D.; Kleffner, J.

Six Model A master-slave manipulators are installed in the shielding wall of the Argon Cell to assist in carrying out the following process operations: de canning, charging and discharging the injection casting furnace, pin processing, fuel element assembly and welding, and miscellaneous equipment repair. The Model A manipulator incorporates individually removable master and slave ends. Movement of the master end is transmitted to the slave end via a rotating shaft in a through-the-wall sleeve containing rotary seals to preserve the integrity of the inert atmosphere within the cell. Operation of these manipulators during the past two years has been relativelymore »« less
