Pneumatic Manipulator "Zigmund 500" in the version on a column with a base attached to the floor, a model with a parallelogram and a reinforced boom. In general, the manipulator consists of a drive head mounted on a supporting structure (column), using a pivot device that provides 360-degree rotation of the head. The drive head has a composite articulated boom. At the end of the boom, a console is installed for rigid fastening of the load-grabbing device.
The operation of the manipulator is based on balancing, carried out by the action of a pneumatic piston, and a system of counterweights, the supply of compressed air to which is carried out by two special circuits.
The intelligent part dewatering system determines the weight of the part itself and compensates for it, making the part "weightless". All horizontal movements in space are free and are carried out due to the direct influence of the operator on the devices for capturing cargo or on the cargo itself. The speed of vertical movement is controlled by the operator, due to the application of a slight vertical force (no more than 5-7.5 kg) to the load-grabbing device or the part itself. When the control force is applied up, the part also moves up, when the force is applied down, the part also moves down. The speed of movement of the part is adjusted in a given range depending on the applied force. In the absence of a control action on the part of the operator, the part is stationary and held by the lifting mechanism for as long as necessary. The complex also provides a system of manual control of vertical movement of cargo using a joystick-type control lever located on the handle of the device for capturing cargo. The manipulators correspond to the climatic version "U" ("N") or "O" ("U") of the placement category 4.1 according to GOST 15150-69.
The manipulator is equipped with an air preparation unit complete with a filter, a pressure regulator, and an automatic condensate discharge device.
