Team 06: EOD Flexible Cutting Tool
Abstract
EOD Technicians are responsible for handling hazardous explosives to render them safe. Partnering with Los Alamos National Laboratory, the team designed a flexible wire cutter attachment that technicians can equip to current defusing tools to better access wires around obstacles. Cutting force is delivered through a hydraulic piston design using tension from cable reels to flex the assembly.
