A100 Manipulator
The A100 telemanipulator combines ergonomics, a load capacity of up to 20 kg and interchangeable tools - ideal for the nuclear industry.
In nuclear waste treatment, the focus is on safety, cost-effectiveness and long-term process stability. Decontamination, dismantling, conditioning, recycling and storage of radioactive materials require robust and precise handling technology. Wälischmiller Engineering develops manipulators and robotic systems for use in reprocessing plants, nuclear power plants and interim and final storage facilities. Our systems are radiation-resistant, durable and designed for continuous operation in demanding environments.
Nuclear waste treatment is divided into decontamination and recycling, safe storage and regular inspection of stored materials. Wälischmiller Engineering provides specialized manipulators and robot systems for these different requirements.
The manipulators are particularly suitable for decontamination, dismantling and conditioning work. A100 and A1000 for use. They enable precise work in reprocessing plants and hot cells and have proven themselves already for years proven in plants such as Sellafield and La Hague.
When storing radioactive substances, our manipulators support the safe handling of components and drums, even in areas that are difficult to access. If additional mobility is required, the manipulator vehicle can be V1000 can be used.
A specialized drum gripper is available for the storage and regular inspection and leak testing of stored drums. A1000 based. This means that all phases of waste treatment can be covered with reliable technology from a single source.
The decontamination of radioactive components is a central part of nuclear waste treatment. Components must be dismantled, cleaned or prepared for storage. Manipulators enable this work to be carried out under the influence of radiation without exposing the work personnel directly.
Non-decontaminable materials are safely packaged and stored. Precise handling is crucial in order to move and position drums, components or contaminated materials in a controlled manner. Regular inspections and leak tests are also part of the standardized processes in final and interim storage facilities.
Robust construction, high radiation resistance and reliable technology ensure that these processes can be carried out stably for many years.
Wälischmiller Engineering has been supplying plants in the field of reprocessing and waste treatment since the 1990s. Our manipulators are used in active reprocessing plants, where they support decontamination and dismantling processes.
Operators particularly appreciate the resistance to radiation, the durable design and the reliable function even under demanding operating conditions. In safety-critical areas, HWM manipulators make an important contribution to the structured and controlled execution of all work steps.
We will be happy to inform you about projects in the field of waste treatment and provide you with suitable references. Our experts will advise you personally on a solution for your plant.
