Patent number: 12194615Abstract: A hydraulically operated tool adapted to remove coatings and surfaces from a substrate. The tool may comprise a robotic machine that includes a surface removal tool, a manipulator arm, and a rotation assembly. The manipulator arm may position the surface removal tool to a location along the substrate. The rotation assembly may adjust an angular position of the surface removal tool. A first end of the manipulator arm may be coupled to the surface removal tool, and a second end of the manipulator arm may be coupled to the rotation assembly. The manipulator arm may be hydraulically extended and retracted. The rotation assembly may comprise a spindle, and may be attached to a hinge pin and an air bladder.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2021Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the U.S. NavyInventors: Logan Harris, Eric Meeks, Alexander Read
