Description

The maintenance manipulator implements the remote operation technique in an ultra high vacuum. Its tasks extend from the visual inspection of the vacuum vessel via surface analysis of the protective plates to remotely operated replacement of in-vessel components. The transport arm, mechanism, drive linkage, position control, travel limit switches and the control and guidance system are described. (DG)
