OSTI ID:7034509
The Clinton P. Anderson Meson Physics Facility (LAMPF) has developed two identical remote-handling systems, Monitors I and II, that are used to repair, replace, and maintain the main proton beam line. The systems use electric master-slave manipulators to perform the required tasks using only closed-circuit television for viewing. Advances in controls and mechanical subassemblies have increased the efficiency of operation to a significant degree. Recent major emergency repair operations have further proven the versatility and reliability of the Monitor systems. There is now no doubt that the future maintenance of the vital beam line is assured. This technology should be extended to other toxic, hazardous, and/or dangerous work areas.
