Abstract:
An apparatus for cutting involves a support configured to stably support the apparatus on a surface, an articulated boom rotatably mounted on the support proximate a first end of the boom, and a hydraulically operated end effector mounted on the boom proximate a second end of the boom. The end effector has a cutter configured to cut an object, and preferably also has an immobilizer (e.g. a gripper) configured to immobilize the object while being cut by the cutter. The end effector has a swivel between the cutter (and/or immobilizer) and the boom, the swivel rotatable continuously through 360° to rotate the cutter (and/or immobilizer) continuously through 360°. The swivel has an internal fluid conduit through which hydraulic fluid may be transported from a hydraulic fluid reservoir to the cutter to hydraulically operate the cutter.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for gripping and cutting, comprising:\n a support configured to stably support the apparatus on a surface; an articulated boom rotatably mounted on the support proximate a first end of the boom; and, a hydraulically operated end effector mounted on the boom proximate a second end of the boom, the end effector comprising a gripper configured to hold an object to be cut and a cutter configured to cut the object while being held by the gripper, the end effector further comprising a swivel between the gripper and the boom, the swivel rotatable continuously through 360\u00b0 to rotate the gripper continuously through 360\u00b0, the swivel comprising an internal fluid conduit through which hydraulic fluid may be transported from a hydraulic fluid reservoir to the gripper and cutter to hydraulically operate the gripper and cutter.
