AccessoriesLook at our What's New page to see some of our recently developed products. HDE offers a variety of accessory items developed to enhance the performance of our robotics products. Along with our standard accessories, HDE specializes in tailoring our products to the customer's precise requirements. Disrupter Carrier MRV-212This accessory permits the MURV-100 robot to transport, aim, and fire the FBI PAN Disrupter (or any other water disrupter). The robot pulls the Disrupter Carrier to the location of the device to be rendered safe.
After the disrupter is aimed, the carrier is "decoupled" from the robot and moved down range to a safe location. The disrupter is fired using the weapons firing circuit located on the control console.
Arm Turntable MRV-218
Arm Base Pitch Assembly MRV-219This accessory mounts between the robot platform and manipulator. It adds 12" to the height of the manipulator extension. The top of this assembly can be remotely pivoted 90 degrees, which allows the manipulator to reach below the surface on which the robot platform in standing. This is particularly useful for reaching into a hole or ditch to retrieve or place an object. This accessory is operated using the standard control console.
Add-on Track System for MURV-100 MRV-295
The MRV-295 Track System gives the standard MURV-100 Robot System the maneuvering capability previously found only on the large, heavy, and very expensive robots. This track system permits the MURV-100 to easily climb and descend stairs. This track system significantly enhances the robot’s ability to handle rough terrain such as mud, large rocks and other large obstacles. This track system is a 100% mechanical add-on accessory item for the MURV-100; it contains no electronics. The manipulator arm, turntable, fiber optic control, x-ray carrier, and most all of the other popular accessory items for the MURV-100 will work while the tracks are installed. The MRV-295 Track System is quickly installed and removed from the standard MURV-100 robot vehicle. The wheels are removed from the robot and the robot is set on the base between the tracks. A simple sprocket assembly is slid onto the two rear robot axles and the drive chain is connected to the sprockets. The robot slides into a retainer bracket on the front and two retaining screws are installed. That simple! The MRV-260 Robot Carried Articulated Disrupter Arm works even better with the track system installed. The Disrupter Carrier and Charge Dropper accessories will work but require simple modification to work with this track system.
Robot Carried Articulated Disrupter Arm MRV-260Now the field proven, affordable MURV-100 Robot System can carry, aim, and fire a disrupter just like the large, cumbersome, and very expensive robots.
HDE Manufacturing’s new Robot Carried Articulated Disrupter Arm attaches to the MURV-100 body. The MURV-100 radio control system is used to control the elevation and angle of the disrupter mounted in this arm. The RCADA can hold a disrupter flat on the ground or raise the disrupter high into the air. To endure the shock from repeated disrupter firings large, heavy-duty linear actuators are used to move this arm. To reduce shock to the robot, a shock absorbing system in incorporated into the base of the RCADA.
A black and white camera mounted on this new assembly assists in aiming the disrupter. A field proven dual laser sighting system locates the target. This system also shows the operator when the end of the disrupter is an exact, preset, distance from the target. The Weapons Firing Circuit on the MURV-100 is used to fire the disrupter. To fire the disrupter by radio control, the operator must first insert and turn his weapons firing key. After this is done, he must first operate the interlock protected "fire switch #1". The disrupter fires, after the previous sequence is complete and interlock protected "fire switch #2" is pressed. This system will fire virtually every known EOD disrupter. The RCADA is fitted with a custom mounting system matched to your exact disrupter specifications. For very light weight disrupters, extra ballast is added to this custom mount to help reduce recoil when firing heavy loads.
X-Ray Carrier/Film Cassette Holder MRV-209This accessory, intended for use with the Golden Inspector X-ray, permits the robot to take X-rays of objects at remote locations. The film cassette holder can be gripped and positioned by the manipulator. The X-ray device is triggered from its position on the manipulator using the "weapons firing circuit" on the control console. The robot can then retrieve the film for processing at a safe distance from the suspect device. A similar product, the MURV-244, is intended for use with the XR-150 X-ray device.
Two-Way Audio System MRV-231This accessory enables the operator to hear voices and other sounds in the vicinity of the robot and to speak through a speaker mounted on the robot. This is an ideal tool for hostage negotiations.
Color Camera - Zoom Lens - Pan/Tilt MRV-238 |
A radio controlled "trailer
hitch" is used to attach the disrupter carrier to the robot platform. The robot
is operated in the normal manner to position the disrupter the proper distance from the
device. The dual laser, included with the disrupter carrier, makes it easy to locate
the end of the disrupter the desired distance from the explosive device. Radio
controlled pan and tilt movement of the disrupter aids in accurate aiming.
