The ASV-99 Boxer is a third generation construction labor manufactured by Shinohara Heavy Industries, being manufactured and rolled out in March of 1999 it was one of the most advanced construction labors of the time.
Design & Development[]
Rationale[]
Shinohara Heavy Industries, a leader in the industry, opened the door to the third generation of Labor with the AV-98 “Ingram,” which is famous as the “Third Generation Patlabor.” The ASV-99 "Boxer" is Shinohara's long-awaited third-generation consumer machine. It has been hailed as the "highest performance'' model for a long time, and is the standard-bearer of a new era of labor.
Mechanical Systems[]
The secret that has made users say it has the highest performance can be said to lie in the "Shinohara Precision'' inherited from Ingram. This is an innovative joint mechanism that connects a spherical joint to three cylinder-type actuators. By providing a wide range of motion for the hip joints, ankle joints, and shoulder joints, and the actuator itself also functioning as a shock damper, the vehicle's "holding" has been significantly improved, making it possible to maneuver the vehicle closer to human movements than previous models.
Electronic Systems[]
Like other laborers of the same generation, this machine is equipped with a VVVF-controlled PMS actuator with excellent controllability and a lightweight, high-output lithium-ion battery. Furthermore, the impact energy absorbed by the actuator is returned to the battery via a regeneration system after being converted into heat, slightly extending operating time.
