Robot RATS Circular Saw

Robot RATS Circular Saw

The Robot RATS Circular Saw is a high-performance remote cutting tool designed for EOD robots, bomb disposal robots, tactical robots, SWAT robots, and hazardous-duty robotic platforms. Built as part of the Rotation Activated Tool System (RATS), the Circular Saw provides operators with the ability to perform aggressive cutting and penetration operations without requiring any electrical connection between the robot and the tool.

Simply place the tool in the robot gripper and proceed downrange. Rotate the gripper 360 degrees clockwise to activate the saw. When the operation is complete, rotate the gripper counter-clockwise to power the system off.

How It Works

The Rotation Activated Tool System eliminates the need for complicated robot integration. Operators simply rotate the robot gripper 360 degrees clockwise to engage the circular saw and begin cutting operations.

Once the task has been completed, rotate the gripper in the opposite direction to power down the tool. The saw may then be left downrange while the robot performs additional mission tasks.

Built-In Stall Protection

Integrated current-monitoring circuitry protects the tool from damage caused by motor stall conditions. If the blade becomes bound during a cut, power is automatically interrupted until the obstruction is cleared.

Once clear, simply rotate the gripper 360 degrees clockwise again to reactivate the saw and continue the mission.

Ideal Cutting Applications

• ● Plunge cutting through side panels of vehicles and box trucks
• ● Breaching wood, plywood, and composite barriers
• ● Accessing suspicious packages and concealed compartments
• ● Cutting through obstacles during EOD and tactical operations
• ● Route clearance and remote access missions
• ● Vehicle and structure penetration operations

Robot Compatibility

The interchangeable gripper interface allows deployment across many of today's most commonly used EOD, bomb disposal, and tactical robotic platforms.

• ● ANDROS Robots
• ● ICOR Robots
• ● Remotec Robots
• ● AV Robots
• ● Additional EOD and tactical robotic platforms with compatible grippers

Key Features

• ● Activate the saw by rotating the gripper 360 degrees clockwise
• ● No electrical or tethered connection required between the tool and robot
• ● Uses an external 18V battery power source
• ● Built-in current protection prevents damage during stall conditions
• ● Tool can be dropped downrange once cutting operations are complete
• ● Capable of plunge cutting through vehicle panels and barriers
• ● Interchangeable gripper interface for multiple robot platforms
• ● Rotation Activated Tool System (RATS) simplifies deployment and operation

Ideal Applications

The Robot RATS Circular Saw provides bomb technicians, military EOD teams, public safety bomb squads, SWAT teams, and tactical robot operators with a powerful remote cutting solution for suspicious package access, vehicle searches, concealed compartment access, obstacle removal, route clearance, tactical entry support, and hazardous environment operations.

Its self-contained design, stall protection circuitry, and no-wire operation allow operators to perform demanding cutting tasks while maintaining maximum stand-off distance from potential threats.
