FLUIDIC MANIPULATOR FOR SUPPORTING MANUAL MOVEMENT OF A LOAD AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A FLUIDIC MANIPULATOR

摘要

The invention relates to a fluidic manipulator for supporting the manual movement of a load (19) having at least one fluidic cylinder engaging a mounting device (10, 11) for the load (19) and movably coupled thereto for supporting the movement of the load (19) in at least one first movement direction, having a sensor device (23, 24, 26; 127) on or in the fluidic cylinder (12, 14) for capturing at least one measurement value from the group: acceleration of the piston (15, 17) in the cylinder (12, 14), speed of the piston (15, 17) relative to the cylinder (12, 14), position of the piston (15, 17) relative to the cylinder (12, 14), fluid pressure change in the cylinder (12, 14) as a result of the manually initiated acceleration of the load (19) and having a control device (20; 120) controlling a valve arrangement (21, 22) for piston movement in the cylinder (12, 14).Using said manipulator, the operator can grip the load (19) directly and move said load in the desired direction, supported by the fluid.
