PR, P4 and P7 rotate modules
The PR module (1) is a combined pitch and roll module.
The P4 (2) is a light duty accurate rotate unit normally used as a yaw axis, often fitted to the R19 robot.
The P7 (3,4) is a high payload rotate unit also intended for yaw applications.
The R2 (5,6) is a medium payload rotate unit also intended for pitch, yaw and roll applications.

Swabbing in nuclear facility using two robots, one robot (lower) employs L, K and M axis modules. M is a telescopic axis with a yaw, not shown above. This robot passed swabs to a second robot (upper) built with L and K axis modules which passes the swab out through an electric shield door to a glove box. |
