  1. 9. A REMOTELY OPERATED MEASUREMENT AND INSPECTION TRAIN: TIM
    Bruno Feral (CERN)
    06/05/2013, 13:40
    A remotely operated measurement and inspection train, ‘TIM,” has been developed by EN-HE for use in the LHC tunnel. The train runs underneath the monorail I-beam suspended from the tunnel ceiling; it can carry out remote visual inspections with pan-tilt-zoom cameras and remote measurements of radiation levels, temperature and oxygen concentrations along the tunnel. Work is currently underway...

  2. 11. REMOTE OVERHEAD TRAVELLING CRANE OPERATION & XTAX TABLE REPAIR: A LARGE-SCALE & REMOTE-CONTROLLED EXERCISE @ CERN
    Keith Kershaw (CERN), Sebastien Evrard (CERN)
    06/05/2013, 14:00
    Remote techniques have been applied to some existing overhead travelling cranes in experimental areas in order to reduce radiation doses to personnel during decommissioning and repair operations. The presentation will describe the work carried out by EN-HE in collaboration with EN-MEF and EN-STI for two cases (dismantling of a redundant facility and repair of heavy radioactive assemblies)...

  3. 12. REMOTE INSPECTION VEHICLE
    Ramon Folch (CERN)
    06/05/2013, 14:30
    In 2012 EN-STI in collaboration with EN-HE purchased a Telemax remotely operated vehicle produced by Telerob GmbH. The vehicle is equipped with a manipulator arm and cameras. It is controlled by an operator via a portable control station. The vehicle was purchased to carry out visual inspection in radioactive areas at CERN along with interventions requiring manipulation tasks such as handling...

  4. 8. REMOTE SURVEY OPERATIONS
    Patrick Bestmann (CERN)
    06/05/2013, 14:50
    Since several years and following the ALARA recommendations, the SU team has developed specific systems to prevent its staff to be exposed to high radioactive doses when measuring the position or realigning some LHC components. Around the low beta quadrupoles, a permanent monitoring system as well as a remote adjustment system have been developed allowing the measurements and the readjustment...

  5. 0. ATLAS VT Sliding Support motorization
    Kaan Vatansever (CERN), Pedro Noguera Crespo
    06/05/2013, 15:10
    The increasing radiation levels in the ATLAS experiment and hence the radiation dose seen by the personnel during maintenance poses a new challenge to the design of components within highly radiated areas. During opening scenarios and the removal of chambers, the ATLAS VT Sliding Support, among other supports, must be retracted manually by the means of turning threaded bars which are connected...
