Further information A150 Manipulator

The A150 is a state-of-the-art telescopic manipulator designed specifically for use in hot cells, shielded work areas and nuclear technology. With electrically pre-positionable X, Y and Z axes, weight compensation and a reach of up to 2.0 m, the A150 offers maximum flexibility and efficiency - even in hard-to-reach areas or with frequent tool changes.

Thanks to its robust design and precise controls, the A150 is ideal for repairs, maintenance, recovery and safety operations in nuclear power plants or laboratories with hazardous substances. It not only ensures maximum safety for the operating personnel, but also efficient and ergonomic working under extreme conditions.

The A150 has been designed to be based on proven standard components from the A100 and A200 series. This modular architecture offers operators a decisive economic and logistical advantage: high system compatibility with a reduced number of variants.

A key added value lies in the compatibility of spare parts. As key assemblies and mechanical components have been adopted from existing platforms, the spare parts inventory can be significantly streamlined. For operators, this means

  • Lower storage costs
  • Reduced capital commitment
  • Simplified spare parts management
  • Faster availability in case of service

In addition, numerous accessories and attachments can be used across all platforms. Components such as changing devices, grippers or tools can be used within the model family. This increases flexibility when expanding or modernizing existing systems.

This design strategy also offers advantages in terms of lifecycle management. Standardized assemblies make things easier:

  • Technical training for staff
  • Maintenance and servicing processes
  • Long-term service availability
  • System upgrades within existing infrastructure

For operators of hot cells and nuclear facilities, this means long-term investment security. The A150 integrates seamlessly into existing system concepts and reduces the complexity of operations.

In short, the A150 is not only a powerful manipulation solution, but also a strategically optimized platform within the system family.
