The manipulating devices are designed for equipment of deep-submergence vehicles, manned and unmanned ones; the devices provide hoisting, transporting and assembling works under water.

The manipulating device consists of the actuating mechanism-manipulator, the control device, the control desk and tools.

The manipulating device is supplied as:

  • one manipulator of right or left version, with the control device and the control desk;
  • two manipulators of right and left version, with the control devices and the control desk.

The manipulator can be provided with additional degree of freedom which extends a working area. The control device is made in the form of a handle or a replica master. Tools are housed in magazines. The manipulator is actuated by the throttle-controlled electrohydraulic servo drive. The manipulator construction is relieved of underwater hydrostatic pressure. Tools are operated by the drive arbor of the manipulator gripper.
