Description  

The Inuktun 2-Function Manipulator was designed as a deep-sea articulating gripper with an array of 
interchangeable jaw sets.  The device is capable of high closing forces and provides an additional rotation 
feature to position the jaws in relation to the work piece.  The pressure compensated housing allows the 
manipulator to dive to the depths of the ocean, and anodized aluminum and stainless steel 316 parts and 
fasteners allow it to thrive there.  Individual jaw set functions are listed below. 

Cutter 

Cut nearly any material from plastic pipes, natural and synthetic ropes, even electrical 
cables. 

Trident 

For hard to hold objects, the trident grips sample from three equally spaced directions 
around the jaw’s axis. 

V Jaw 

With a wide maw, the V jaw handles large objects with ease. 

Parallel 

Hard to hold and delicate objects are easily held in the 

jaw’s always parallel top and bottom 

fingers. 

Sampler 

Take virtually any type of sample from silt and sediment to sea life and flora.
