VOLUME SYNCHRONIZER FOR TUBULAR HANDLING TOOLS

A control system comprising a tubular handling tool, comprising having a plurality of piston cylinders and a plurality of slips configured to engage a tubular string; and a volume synchronizer comprising: a first piston cylinder having a piston connected to a first rod member; a plate member connected to the first rod member; and a plurality of second piston cylinders, each having a piston connected to the plate member by a plurality of second rod members; wherein pressurized fluid supplied to the first piston cylinder moves the plate member to move each of the pistons in the second piston cylinders, thereby forcing pressurized fluid out of the second piston cylinders and simultaneously into the piston cylinders of the tubular handling tool, thereby actuating the slips into engagement with the tubular string.
