Pneumatic Clamp Excavator 42006

[legomania94]

how can I make the clamp del'escavatore 42006 in pneumatic version?

I don't know, how can you? It can't be that hard, pneumatic cylinders are nearly the same dimensions as LA's, just switch them out I would guess. I don't have a 42006 to test it though.

I converted the clamp itself to pneumatic operation and transplanted it onto the Unimog. Works okay but the small la gives much more grabbing power.

Lots of fun opening and closing it though, as it makes a cool sound when it snaps shut. It reminds me of sea creatures somehow. :-)

Will try to make a picture tomorrow; it's a simple enough operation. For the boom and dipper i would use two cylinders each, in serial to extend the range of motion.

[legomania94]

okkey thank you tomorrow then put the photo to show that you came out?

[legomania94]

so much stuff really nice :) but that piston did you use? because I have the normal one you usually use

[schermvlieger]

it uses the same, small piston. these are pictures i made some time ago; i'll try to make a couple more tonight with the grabber partly disassembled if the above are not clear enough.

Happy bricking :-)

[legomania94]

is not perfect, do not worry because even I do not understand only the small piston that big but basic! there way to do it with that? :)

[Junpei]

Does the small piston have enough power to actually grab on to something?

[legomania94]

I think so! I did it with the big one and I think it's great using it with sawdust and Zorex * - *

[schermvlieger]

I'd like to see some pictures of the clamp with a large cylinder.

@schermvlieger: your Unimog looks interesting. Do you have any more pictures? Thanks.

[legomania94]

I'm glad :) I improve it and then try to put some pictures is that I never put the photo so I have to learn: S

[legomania94]

I ordered the last pieces to make even the pneumatic system on the excavator "Zorex" as soon as I finish everything I try to put photos :)

[legomania94]

for photos of the clamp go in my flickr accaunt, trovete two pictures and just because I created the now, as soon as I finish the work I put more photos! https://www.flickr.com/photos/107022208@N03/

Looks very promising legomania! I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your work!

[legomania94]

thanks for the compliments I also can not wait :)

[jantjeuh]

Looks good, but the white balance in your photos seems a bit off

[legomania94]

What seems a little out?

[Junpei]

Awesome! Are those LA's painted?

[legomania94]

thanks :) I did not understand what you mean by painting

[legomania94]

hello, I expect that come the last pieces to make the arm and place the photos :)

The pneumatic rams in legomania94s claw are not painted. The white balance of the picture didn't match the lighting.

I built schermvlieger's claw with the small pneumatic cylinder the other day. I attached it to my unimog and added a second degree of freedom. Works great so far. It is a nice addition to the set of unimog tools.

[legomania94]

what is wrong with my crab? also my works to perfection!

[TinkerBrick]

Your claw is just fine. TwentyLeggedHen thought the rams were painted since the photo didn't reproduce the actual colors correctly i suppose.

By the way - how strong is your claw using a large pneumatic piston?
