Greetings,

I am looking for a LIGHT-WEIGHT MANIPULATOR (robot arm + gripper),
which shall be integrated in our robotics research project.
Being right at the beginning of the projecting phase, I am
collecting information about manufacturers of robot arms and 
their products.

The desired manipulator should fulfill the specifications given
below:
1) Weight not more than 50 kg.
2) Max. payload of 1kg at minimum.
3) Power supply from batteries should be possible (Preferably 24V DC).
4) 6 degrees of freedom.
5) Range between 0.5m and 1.5m. 

I should be grateful about information concerning such manipulators
and their manufacturers (distributors etc.).
Please contact me by e-mail in response. 

Thanks in advance,

Ralf Corsepius
