PF Automated Mounting system (PAM)

1st robot

The 1st robot was installed to the BL-5A at the same time as the installation to the AR-NW12A. Test of the double-tongs system II was carried out with this robot. Then the double-tongs II has been moved to the BL-17A robot and the double-tongs III was installed on this robot.

2nd robot

2nd robot was installed to the AR-NW12A at the same time as the installation to the BL-5A. Then this robot was moved to the AR-NW-Robotics development room to test the 3rd robot at the NW12A. This robot is now being used for the development of software and the test of hardware.

3rd robot

The 3rd robot was developed for R&D in 2006. However, this robot is now working at the AR-NW12A with the double-tongs III.

4th robot

This robot is developed for the BL-17A in 2007. Basic design of this robot is same as the 3rd robot. At the same time, we developed the double-tongs II, tested it at the BL-5A and then moved it to the BL-17A.

5th robot

This robot was delivered on January 16, 2009. The design of this robot is based on the 4th robot and the double-tongs III was installed. We checked it and we are installing it in the experimental hutch of AR-NE3A.
