Remote handling equipment have an important function in the nuclear technology, especially in Fusion: they support hot cells operators in manipulating radioactive materials and are key players in the safe and reliable operation of several processes inside the hot cell. New challenges in the nuclear industry influence the complexity of tasks performed, e.g. regulations and technical developments. In the same manner, remote handling technology has been improved in the last decades. From the point of view of a manufacturer, this webinar will concentrate on giving feedback about experience and technical developments Wälischmiller Engineering made in the last decade in order to select the most suitable manipulator to the hot cell and to the operations that have to be performed.
After a short presentation of the company, the webinar will concentrate on different type of products and how they suit at the best to the requirements and the operations to be performed by giving examples of different solutions achieved (from basic solutions to high-end robots).
