DTP 2 Platform - Tampere University of Technology

ITER Divertor Maintenance:

• Removal of cassettes
• Transportation to/from hot cells
• Installation of cassettes

DTP2 Platform Technologies:

• Remote Control
• Virtual Reality
• Robotics
• Water Hydraulics
• Machine vision

Critical Issues:

• Components are heavy (~10 t)
• Flexibility of structures is inevitable
• Clearances are small (<20 mm)
• Camera view is very limited
• Abnormal situations, e.g. jams, deformations
• High number of processes and tools
• Long and demanding development and testing time for each process and tool
  • requirements,
  • concept,
  • design,
  • virtual solution,
  • physical solution (software/hardware),
  • testing,
  • acceptance
