Abstract :
This paper describes the manipulator for liveline construction of high-voltage overhead power distribution lines (line voltage of 6.6 kV), jointly developed by Tokyo Electric Power and other companies. It describes the system´s development concept and configuration as well as operability tests using actual-scale distribution line poles. A prototype model of a ground-mounted twin-arm manipulator was trial-manufactured in 1985. In 1988, a vehicle-mounted system was developed in which the twin-arm manipulator was mounted on a telescopic aerial truck. A practical system was then developed based on these results
