Abstract

Remote handling maintenance (RHM) is the act of monitoring and maintaining equipment in a safety zone away from the site by applying a manipulator (robot) or special equipment inside the nuclear device to reduce the exposure dose and labor intensity for personnel. RHM technology is an important and indispensable tool for maintaining radioactive parts for large-scale scientific facilities. Bolt assemble/disassemble is an operation of RHM. This paper research on bolt assemble/disassemble operation in hot cell RHM to get some the proposals for bolt design and auxiliary tooling development in RHM. Four comparing experiments including the ball hexagonal head and hexagonal head, different length of clamping handle of pneumatic wrench, with block leg and without block leg, the rigid handle and the flexible handle were conducted. Significant conclusions were obtained for bolts disassembling and reassembling, which provide a basis for auxiliary tooling development for RHM.
