Mechanical Design Considerations

AI Thread Summary
Mechanical design considerations for a remote handling machine in a hazardous nuclear plant environment include the need for robust materials that can withstand high temperatures and potential radiation exposure. The design should prioritize precision and control, likely utilizing a robotic arm mechanism for maneuverability in confined spaces like small tunnels. Safety features must be integrated to prevent accidents, including fail-safes and remote operation capabilities to minimize human exposure. Understanding the specific hazards, such as toxic gases or explosive dust, is crucial for selecting appropriate components and ensuring operational reliability. Thorough planning and engineering are essential for successful deployment in such challenging conditions.

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
