| Manipulators |
S.A.Robotics
specializes in the design and construction of custom robotic manipulators. Our
engineering and fabrication staff have extensive experience in building custom
manipulators constructed from high tech materials, pushing the envelop with the
limitations of robotic manipulators.
S.A.Robotics’ patented designs and equipment are built rugged and field tested
in the most extreme conditions imaginable. S.A.Robotics is the industry leader
in the use of composite material design and fabrication of long reach high
payload remote manipulators. These arms and manipulators, built from advanced
materials have a far more extensive reach and higher payloads than traditional
alloy manipulators.
Our robotic arms and remote manipulators are also equipped with an array of
quick disconnect end effectors and specialty tooling to accomplish any task,
anywhere, including underwater applications. |

 |
| Long Reach/High Payload Manipulators |
| S.A.Robotics has developed a wide range of remote
manipulators and robotic arms that can be readily adapted for operations in
hazardous environments in both underwater and dry applications. Previous
projects have allowed workers to safely remove and process hazardous materials
both in underwater and dry applications. |
|
| Short Reach/Ultra High Payload Manipulators |
| S.A. Robotics designs and fabricates short reach, ultra
high capacity remote manipulators to support decommissioning and decontamination
efforts in underwater and dry environments. These ultra high capacity
manipulators have been used as part of a Remote Manipulator System to remove and
process materials in radiation fields up to 40 R/hr. |
|
| Extreme Temperature Manipulators |
| S.A.Robotics developed an Extreme Environment/Temperature
Remote Manipulators or Removable Boiler Blasting System (RBB) that can be
readily adapted for operations in high temperature and extreme environments. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Powered Remote Manipulators |
| S.A.Robotics' Powered Remote Manipulators (PRMs) are
extremely maneuverable, light weight, high capacity robotic arms that are
suitable for a wide range of remote handling applications. |
|
| Remote Camera Systems |
| The S.A.Robotics Remote Camera System is a color video
camera system deployed by a robotic arm that is remotely operated. The robotic
arm can be inserted through a four inch opening and it can be ordered in
different lengths to accommodate the application. |
|
| Integrated Control Systems |
| S.A.Robotics utilizes Integrated Control Systems on all
turn key systems. All control systems are custom designed to meet exact customer
demands for each system. Designs comply with NFPA 70 and 79, and the panel shop
is UL-508A certified. |

Grippers
Electric and Hydraulic Grippers for various uses |
| General purpose electrical gripper with high grip force
and high moment load capacity. +2000 lbs of gripping force with over 200 lbs of
payload capacity. Fails open or closed depending on customer requirements. |
|
Spray/Blast Heads
Remove material and/or clean and decontaminate surfaces |
| Deployed ultra-high pressure water blast to remove
contaminated concrete underwater. Included complete vacuum recovery shroud. |
|
Shears
Handle pipes and cables of every possible size |

 |
Gloveboxes and Support Systems
Includes Cascading Ventilation Systems and Airlock Systems |
| Glovebox enclosures, containment systems, and
system/component integration for nuclear, hazardous chemical, radioisotope,
pharmaceutical applications. |
|
| Reach-In Decontamination Gloveboxes |
| Designed for the decontamination of glovebox internals
using chemical decon solutions |
|
Decontamination Containment Systems
Inner Tent Demolition Chambers |
| The Inner Tent Chamber (ITC) is a self-contained glovebox
designed to size-reduce contaminated equipment, primarily gloveboxes, and to
provide packaging capability. The ITC provides workers with various tools to
complete their size-reduction activities from outside of the structure. |

| Waste Handling and
Processing |
|
 |
 |
 |
Process Filtration, Solid Separation, & Waste Packaging
Process systems for dry and underwater environments |
| S.A.Robotics has significant experience designing process
filtration, solid separation, and waste handling equipment. |
|
Waste Drum & Container Handling Systems
Remotely move and locate loaded waste drums |
| S.A.Robotics has provided handling systems for the nuclear
industry to handle various sizes of waste containers. Currently S.A.Robotics has
developed handling systems specifically for three types of containers: SWB’s, 55
gallon drums, and 85 gallon drums. |
|
Decontamination Wash Stations
Washing systems for dry and underwater environments |
| The Decontamination Wash Station automatically washes
components using water at 5,000 psig. The Wash Station’s high pressure
capability removes scale, rust, and contamination. It operates equally well in
either dry or submerged environments. The Wash Station is operated from a remote
control panel. Opening and closing the lid is accomplished from the control
panel and then, with the push of a button, the wash cycle runs automatically. |
|
| Crawlers |
| Working jointly
with Colorado State University, S.A.Robotics helped develop a small, lightweight
walking robot designed to traverse a rubble fields for victim identification and
location in support of search-and-rescue operations. A prototype walker was
designed with six rotating cam-like legs. The unit was constructed of carbon
fiber and carried a lithium battery pack for power. At a national competition,
the crawler outperformed traditional track crawler machines in mobility,
traveling much farther than the tracked robots in the competition. Based on the
success of this device S.A.Robotics is developing the next generation of the
robot for actual deployment. |
