More Details

Structure
* Each arm consists of two distinct sets of three identical, interchangeable, and easy-to-replace CADs. These are linked together by a ZIF (zero insertion force) cable. The arm is mounted on a standard aluminum extruded support structure that can be affixed to almost any surface. It can be installed on any powered wheelchair and is controlled via the joystick.

Gripping
* The gripper consists of three under-actuated fingers that can be individually controlled. The fingers can adjust to any object whatever its shape. They can gently pick up an egg or firmly grasp a jar. The arm can carry a maximum load of 1.5 kg

Control
* Jaco can be controlled with a computer or the manufacturer's three-axis, seven-button joystick. Control is intuitive and allows users to navigate using three different modes: translate, rotate, and grip. The Intelligent Singularity Avoidance System always keeps the arm safely away from unwanted locations.

TGA
Many of the items on the ILC NSW website are categorised as a Medical Device. Medical devices that are approved for use in Australia have been entered into a national database called the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), which is maintained by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). You can ask the supplier for the ARTG number for the device you wish to purchase and search the ARTG for the entry. To access information on the ARTG visit www.tga.gov.au

When buying a medical device it is advisable to only choose a medical device that is recommended by a healthcare professional and has been included on the ARTG.
