Robot-assisted safe handling of nuclear waste

Robot-assisted safe handling of nuclear waste

The decommissioning of nuclear facilities poses major challenges for operators. Whether decommissioning or safe containment, the amount of nuclear waste to be disposed of is growing at an overwhelming rate worldwide. Automation is increasingly required to handle nuclear waste, but the nuclear industry is reluctant of fully autonomous robotic control methods for safety reasons, and […]

6-axis hydraulic manipulator for nuclear decommissioning

6-axis hydraulic manipulator for nuclear decommissioning

A powerful, 6-axis hydraulic manipulator arm designed for use in the nuclear decommissioning industry relies on a motion control system from Moog. The company was approached by James Fisher Nuclear (JFN) for the hydraulic motion system, including modelling and simulating the product design. A manipulator arm is used to grasp and move materials without direct […]
