Vehicle having an articulator
TLDR
In this article, a vehicle mounted articulator can be subjected to various potentially damaging situations due to motion of the vehicle, and various features that allow safe operation of vehicle and the articulator are disclosed.Abstract:
Systems and methods for a vehicle mounted articulator are described. A vehicle conveniently allows an articulator to be moved to various remote work sites. In one embodiment, the articulator can be mounted on a movable base, thereby increasing the flexibility of use and/or reach of the articulator. Such vehicle-mounted articulators can be subjected to various potentially damaging situations due to motion of the vehicle. Various features that allow safe operation of the vehicle and the articulator are disclosed.read more
