ARTICULATED DELIVERY SYSTEM

摘要

CASE 4917 An articulated delivery system for search and retrieval tooling used in recirculating steam generators. An elongated flexible snorkel is provided with at least two channels for receiving the search and retrieval tooling. Cables along the side of the snorkel and a steering device at the rear end of the snorkel provide for articulation or bending control of the forward end of the snorkel in either direction in a single plane. Rotation of the rear end of the snorkel at the steering device provides third axis control of the articulated end of the snorkel.
