Compact Mobile Power Manipulator for LV Maintenance Work

Repair of a broken wire on an LV distribulian line

  • A standard four passenger car-sized Compact Mobile Power Manipulator for LV Maintenance Work has been developed on the foundation of technology established by the "Phase I" Bucket Operation Type Robot.
  • The main goal of this maintenance work robot is to provide a highly mobile method for restoring power in the event of outage which has occurred on pole-mounted transformers, LV wires (100V or 200V), or service wires.
