Design of a basket lifting mechanism for pyroprocessing automation verifying mockup

To enhance the operability and reliability of the developing equipment, a new non-radioactive experimental space, the PAVM (Pyroprocessing Automation Verifying Mockup) was planned. In this research, a basket lifting module for simplifying some operations of the testing equipment in PAVM is discussed. The basket lift mechanism was designed for Pyroprocessing automation verifying mocku(PAVM). The remote operation of basket replacing is difficult due to high pay load and interference at the entrance of the basket socket. The proposed mechanism dedicated to the basket replacing operation. In existing operation manual, the bus-bar connection was separate task after basket replacing task.
