Implementation of new techniques for the remote delivery of tooling and components at JET torus

For the JET Enhanced Performance (EP2) shutdown a second articulated boom has been developed. Support technologies have been developed to provide an efficient system for tools, services and components to the remote environment. This paper will discuss the challenges involved in the design and compatibility for remote docking of support cradles. These cradles are used to support equipment including:– sk modules with a capacity of 400 kg each. n sub-frames used to transport components up to 80 kg each. urpose tray carriers to transport a large variety of equipment and components. list equipment for transporting interfacing components. uations where people are required to manually load and unload these cradles this paper will discuss the systems implemented to aid:– ination control between the JET vessel and the adjacent man access areas while the articulated boom is in use. e feeds for in vessel work (power and data supplies). will also be examples of real data and design changes required as a result of the operational tests. aper will discuss how these developments have increased the efficiency of the remote handling work with an increased protection for the personnel working in the controlled area.
