Survival Research Laboratories needs Intellidex 605T Gripper.

    Some time ago, SRL recieved a donated Intellidex 605T
table-mounted 6-axis research robot.  SRL asked for help getting
documentation, and you nice netfolk sent leads and manuals.  Thanks.

    NOW we need a gripper for the 605T for an upcoming performance.
It can be electrically or pneumatically operated, and ideally would
be connectorized for the attachment socket on the 605T arm.  Time
constraints prevent us from building our own end-effector.
    If you know of any academic or industrial robotic labs which
have mothballed or scrapped working Intellidex accessories, off-
the-rack or custom built, please email magott@path.net or
fhausman@path.net.  If you have equipment available for donation
immediately, please leave a message on the SRL Voicemail system at
(415) 641-8065.

    Survival Research Laboratories is a not-for-profit machine-
performance art group conceived of and founded by Mark Pauline in
November 1978.  Since its inception SRL has been an organization of
creative technicians dedicated to re-directing the techniques,
tools, and tenets of industry, science, and the military away from
their typical manifestations in practicality, product or warfare.
Since 1979, SRL has staged over 45 mechanized presentations in the
United States and Europe.  Each performance consists of a unique set
of ritualized interactions between machines, robots, and special
effects devices, employed in developing themes of socio-political
satire.  Humans are present only as audience or operators.
