ANATERGOARM™ TMA-500 - 1

Advancement Through Simplicity Deploy ANATERGOARM™ at your factory Articulated Nimble Adaptable Trunk ANATERGOARM™ TMA-500 Developed and designed by Robotics Design Inc. Canada Robotics Design Inc. is an innovative Canadian company dedicated to the design and development of robotic, electrical and mechanical systems to resolve complex industrial challenges faced by manufacturers worldwide. ANAT™ products are designed with ANAT modular technology from Robotics Design Inc. Canada. Repair and maintenance of turbine components is a dangerous task due to the limited maneuvering space available in the turbine. Power production stops during repair, which favors a fast solution to repair and maintenance needs that can be quickly assembled and disassembled on site. Without proper equipment for the job, plant owners risk time, productivity, and the safety of their workers. Robotics Design Inc. created the ANATERGOARM™ TMA-500 specifically to overcome these challenges and provide a fast and easy maintenance and repair method that can bend around obstacles, carry heavy loads, be quickly and easily assembled and disassembled on site with a minimum workforce, and allow workers to perform tasks in complete safety. The ANATERGOARM™ TMA-500 is a heavy-duty manual ergonomic manipulator arm specialized for repair and maintenance of hydroelectric turbines. t is composed of a series of linked ANAT modules forming a serpentine arm attached to a vertical axis that can be made mobile along a rail, or stationary when fixed to a column using our rugged support system. Its modular design and hyper-redundancy allows it to carry payloads of up to 500kg and maneuver around obstacles, making the ANATERGOARM™ TMA-500 highly effective for tasks in limited work-envelopes. The ANATERGOARM™ TMA-500’s arm(s) fold relatively to each other, mimicking the natural bio-mechanical movement of the human body, which offers a larger coverage area and allows users to accurately and effortlessly manipulate heavy loads, improving worker and equipment safety. The components of the ANATERGOARM™ TMA-500 arrive ready-to-assemble in 2 portable pelican cases. Components are assembled, deployed and stored quickly and easily with two operators, thanks to the ANATERGOARM™ TMA-500’s Lego like ANAT modular design. The arm’s length can be customized by adding or removing modules to or from the arm, depending on user needs. The ANATERGOARM™ TMA-500 is ruggedly built for lasting performance from aerospace aluminum and heat-treated steel, and is an indispensible part of maintaining a safe and functional hydroelectric power plant.
