ローラー駆動によるコンベックス型簡易伸縮機構の開発

抄録

We are developing clustered convex type telescopic manipulators. Compared with the conventional linier actuators, our convex type manipulator can make long reach and are very light. They are also compact when they are reeled up. Even for these advantages, our previous model type-J, was limited on the power about 100N and stability: this model was our first simple roller-tape driving type and there were some remaining problems which could not be solved. In this report, we will describe the new manipulator type-J2, which employs modified roller driving for the tape, to improve the total performance. The power is about 200-300N and the maintenance is easy.
