Industrial Manipulators
Man-Mate industrial manipulators suit a virtually unlimited number of manufacturing and processing needs. The formidable looking grip at the end of this Man-Mate is called an end-effector.

Non-chemical Water Treatment
The function of the Elysator is based on the anodic/cathodic principle i.e. letting a less noble metal (magnesium) be sacrificed (corroded) instead of the system itself, related to galvanic series / elements. During the process the oxygen in the water will be absorbed creating H2O and magnesium hydroxide. When installed the Elysator, the entire system will be protected from corrosion. Even aluminium and aluminium alloys are protected.
