Kraft: Manipulator System (Raptor Series)

Raptor is a 7-function, hydraulically powered manipulator for use in both deep ocean and hazardous inland environments. With 64 inches of reach and a lift capacity of 500 lbs, Raptor delivers powerful manipulator performance in a compact package.

Intuitive master/slave control allows even an inexperienced operator to perform work tasks with human like motion and speed. Force feedback dramatically improves operator awareness and allows the operator to perform tasks more quickly and perform tasks of much greater complexity. In addition to improved telepresence, the compliant nature of a force feedback system greatly reduces the risk of accidental damage to both the work site and the manipulator arm.

Raptor is the beneficiary of over 25 years of manipulator system development and manufacturing experience. Raptor is a mature product combining field proven technology with simplicity of design. With an emphasis on overall system reliability and field serviceability, the Raptor manipulator arm incorporates fewer components and is less complicated than any other manipulator in its class. By design Kraft manipulator arms minimize overall cost of ownership.

Kraft force feedback manipulator arms have achieved a remarkable track record by demonstrating exceptional performance and reliability in demanding undersea, nuclear, aerospace, electric utility, and military applications worldwide. When ease of operation and productivity at the work site are important, Raptor excels.
