Description:

Three axis robotic process head delivery tools used for curved or flat surfaces. Terrain following capability for accurate surface location.

Application:

Either tool can be used for welding, weld removal, grinding or a customer specific application. Depending on application, modifications may be necessary.

Design Highlights:

Withstood over 1000 hours of underwater operation in a high radiation environment (inside a reactor core). Due to the tools’ small cross section they can be remotely installed through the top guide.

PLC controls with a touch-sensitive Graphical User Interface for ease of programming scan plans. PC based data acquisition system used to record operational parameters.

Benefit:

Reduced personnel exposure to radiation.

Weld finishing tool

Description:

A ten axis robot (five axes per side) featuring fully remote PC control and state-of-the-art Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Application:

Originally designed for weld contouring and blending weld metal and base material. With some modifications, can be used for welding, cutting, painting and/or weld removal.

Design Highlights:

Complex mathematical formulas used to coordinate axes and establish cutting planes. Extremely accurate positioning feedback for all axes allows for precise operation in pre-programmed paths or for manual operation in localized areas.

Benefit:

Reduced personnel exposure to radiation or hazardous environments.
