Robotization of sweating control process. Design and development of prototype

Description

A machine for the remote sweating control of the circular welds of vessel pipes of the PWR 900 reactors has been studied and developed in the CEA in cooperation with the EDF. The robotization of sweating control enables significant reduction in the intervention times in active areas. The feasibility prototype enabled the on site automatic procedure to be finalized as well as the compatibility of its design with the environment

Abstract (French)

Une machine permettant le controle par ressuage a distance des soudures circulaires cuve/tubulures des reacteurs PWR 900, a ete etudiee et developpee au CEA en collaboration avec EDF. La robotisation du controle par ressuage permet la reduction importante des temps d'intervention en zone active. Le prototype de faisabilite a permis de mettre au point la procedure automatique sur site et de s'assurer de la compatibilite de sa conception avec l'environnement
