Mechanical Design Considerations

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on mechanical design considerations for a remote handling machine intended for deployment in hazardous environments, specifically a nuclear plant with high temperatures. Key factors include the type of handling mechanism, such as a robotic arm, and the specific hazards present, including extreme heat. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the operational context to provide tailored design suggestions. The inquiry is driven by the need to prepare for a job interview presentation on this topic.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of robotic arm mechanics
  • Knowledge of high-temperature material selection
  • Familiarity with remote control systems
  • Awareness of safety standards in hazardous environments
NEXT STEPS
  • Research high-temperature resistant materials for robotic applications
  • Explore remote control technologies suitable for hazardous environments
  • Study safety protocols for nuclear plant operations
  • Investigate design principles for robotic arms in confined spaces
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, robotics designers, safety engineers, and professionals preparing for roles in hazardous environment operations will benefit from this discussion.

Please can someone give some of the Mechanical Design considerations in the Design of a Remote Handling Machine to Deploy Tooling in a Hazardous Environment?

Hello and welcome to PF Sageese. I'm new here too, but maybe I can help you out.

Lets start with a little more information about what your trying to accomplish like:

What are you trying to handle? and how are you wanting to handle it? Is this similar to a conveyor or a robotic arm?

Second, how is the environment hazardous? Is it poison gas, explosive dust, or high temperature?

Any information you can provide could help us provide you with better suggestions.

Regards,

Hazard
 
It is a robotic arm or small machine that can be control with remote to move in small tunnels. It is a nuclear plant environment and it is high temperature environment. The question is just the way it is, because it is given to me to give a presentation on it at a particular job interview.

Thanks
