Robot arm for carrying out successive multiple operations on primary circuit of a pressurized water reactor is remotely controlled by software modules

摘要

Using a robot arm (4), with a support (3) connected to an industrial installation, a succession of elementary tasks are carried out, each making use of a suitable tool (10). An index on the arm is used to determine the precise trajectories of the tools. The successive movements of the arm, the attachment and detachment of the tools and the carrying out of the tasks are controlled by suitable software modules.
