Title: Design of remote maintenance tooling and fixtures for the advanced servomanipulator remote maintenance demonstration

Abstract

The basic approach for design of remotely maintainable equipment is to incorporate individually replaceable modules. These modules typically possess features that will enhance remote handling, such as captive cone-head fasteners, tapered guides, remotely operated disconnects, and lift points that allow the modules to be oriented in the proper position. The use of special fixtures or tooling to accomplish remote maintainability is usually discouraged due to the added storage and handling requirements for these items. However, due to the complex nature of some equipment and the associated maintenance requirements, special tooling/fixtures may be required for some maintenance tasks. A number of fixtures were fabricated and used on the advanced servomanipulator (ASM) maintenance demonstration. Details of the actual experimental task are given in a companion paper in this meeting entitled ''Demonstration of Remote Maintenance of the Advanced Servomanipulator.'' This paper describes the various fixtures used and the special functional requirements that influenced their design. The remote maintenance demonstration was successfully performed using these fixtures. 2 refs., 9 figs.
