Zippermast - tape measure meets zip

摘要

The remote-controlled caterpillar vehicle stops just in front of the head-high wall. Then, a mast extends upwards from its interior on top of which a small camera is mounted. A few moments later, it has an unhindered view of the events behind the wall. The Bavarian company progenoX supplies the vehicle for unmanned exploration, and a highlight is the extremely compact Zippermast which consists of three interlocked steel tapes following the zipper principle. A motor from Faulhaber provides the unique design with reliable retraction and extension.
