NLB - ARM - Automated Remote Manipulator - Brochure

53An ARM lets an operator do a wide range of jobs with specialized tooling mounted to the arm of a CAT® mini excavator — then quickly change the tooling for a different job. Features and benefits include:• a variety of accessories, including patented SPIN JET and SPIN-NOZZLE heads• a unique quick-connect system that makes tooling changes fast and easy• wide jet pattern for broad coverage• operation at 600 hp and pressures up to 40,000 psi (2,760 bar)• full operator visibility from the cab• joystick controls for arm and high-pressure water• easy compliance with OSHA Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements• vertical reach approximately 12 feet; horizontal reach approximately 17 feet• boom swing of 50° right, 55° left (80° without stop)• high-performance powertrain that lowers engine revolutions when not in use, to conserve fuel and reduce noise and emissions• convenient access for maintenance and service pointsSemi-Automated SystemsARM: Versatility that enhances productivity and safety Throughout its history, NLB has devoted itself to developing water jet equipment that maximizes operator safety as well as productivity. Our latest semi-automated systems take reducing the risk of accident and injury to a new level.NLB's new Automated Remote Manipulator (ARM) lets an operator manipulate a variety of waterblasting tools from the safety and comfort of a climate-controlled cab. This not only provides more protection, but reduces downtime and expense. He or she uses convenient joystick controls to position the tooling and then start and stop the flow of high-pressure water.With an ARM, operators won’t experience the fatigue that can affect the quality of manual water jetting. Also, semi-automated water jetting produces more consistent results than individual operators with different techniques or skill levels.tuBe BuNDLe cLeaNiNg hyDroDemoLitioN spiN-NozzLe
