A Remotely Maintainable Rectilinear Manipulator for the Processing Refabrication Experiment (PRE)
- North American Aviation, Inc., Canoga Park, CA (United States). Atomics International Div.
To aid in the handling and maintenance of in-cell process equipment, a remotely maintainable, general-purpose rectilinear manipulator is required in the PRE. A description is given of the modifications to a commercially available rectilinear manipulator which were required to facilitate the remote removal, replacement, and maintenance of the manipulator and its major components. The feasibility of the PRE modifications and operating and maintenance techniques were satisfactorily demonstrated on an in-cell mockup of this manipulator. An in-cell crane and/or a through-roof hoist can effect remote maintenance and removal of the carriage and bridge of the manipulator.
