Reach Robotics Alpha 5 Five Function Underwater Manipulator

• Reach Robotics Alpha 5 Five Function Underwater Manipulator
• Miniature subsea manipulation technology
• Offers three bends coupled with a wrist rotate grabber
• Allows for the end effector to be precisely orientated and positioned in 3D space
• Has a lifting capacity of 2 kg at full

The Reach Robotics Alpha 5 Five Function Underwater Manipulator is a leap in miniature subsea manipulation technology. Three bends coupled with a wrist rotate grabber allow for the end effector to be precisely orientated and positioned in 3D space.

With a lifting capacity of 2 kg at full reach and a weight of less than 900 g in water, the Reach 5 is perfect for tasks requiring precise positioning and unmatched dexterity on a small scale. Feedback of position and force provides active self-protection.

The Reach System implements our patented modular and light-weight actuator technology. The most recent product release, the Reach 5, is the world’s smallest multi-function manipulator capable of operating at a depth of 300 m. All modules are designed for simple integration allowing rapid deployment on any subsea platform. It builds on patented modular designs to create a highly durable and lightweight 5-Function manipulator, capable of performing dexterous subsea tasks.

Available in multiple configurations, it is easily tailored to meet application-specific requirements. Independent axes allow for quick end-e­ffector change-out. Feedback of position and force provides active self-protection.

Reach System 1 actuators are small (40 mm OD), light-weight, and proven on numerous subsea platforms operating in the field. Capable of operating at a depth of 300 m, they are tough, reliable, and allow for advanced inspection and intervention in complex environments. Active joint compliance provides self-protection against impact.
