Passage at point 7-
Improvement of entry to UJ 76. Need to move grille
Shorter push-pull bar and push attachment point on Palfinger

Palfinger 1000kg trailer - crane
Stability tests at 125%
Safety checks at the factory
•Custom design for collimator handling•Increased capacity (2x previous)•Better control with radio control•Flat loading surface (pump underneath)•Operation zone at “rear”end of trailer•Asymmetric stabilizers to reduce width
Spreader beam load test

EN-HE radioactive collimator handling equipment development work 2010 onwards
1. Optimisation of collimator transfer etc2. Remote collimator exchange crane vehicle3. Vacuum disconnection mobile robot4. Remote Survey (HE part - see Patrick
Bestmann’s presentation)

1) Optimisation of collimator transfer• Improve remote controls on the two existing
500 kg trailer cranes. • Compact shielded tractor units to tow the
trailer cranes • Partially shielded trailers for transporting the
collimators (weight of shielding restricted by LHC point 7 lift capacity of 1 tonne)
• Additional 1000kg capacity trailer crane • Minor infrastructure modifications to
improve passage.
Collimation Working Group 6 June 2011 Keith Kershaw EN-HE

2) Remote collimator exchange crane vehicle
• Two remote control vehicles fitted with 1 tonne crane (One + option)
• Camera viewing system • Accessories, mock up tests, infrastructure
preparation

Collimator remote crane design features
• 1000kg crane load capacity • Support platform for collimator transfer• Dimensions compatible with LSS7• Remote control of all movements• Powered rotation of spreader • Powered extension of stabilisers• Powered traction• Powered steering• Supports to add shielding• Manoeuvrability compatible with chicanes at point 7• Powered from monorail in tunnel (MAFI-type trolley)• Possible to tow out in event of breakdown

Power from monorail
Notes : New trolley design needed to allow mounting on continuous monorail Use trolley for overview camera mounting
LHC Cryomagnet transport vehicle power trolley and push-pull bar.

Collimator remote crane - status
• Market survey currently with specification committee – out this week
• Conceptual design for specification in progress• Specification based on previous trailer cranes• Aim for December 2011 Finance committee (1
+ option is borderline for FC threshold) • Delivery end 2012

3) Vacuum disconnection mobile robot
Main items in cost estimate• Test equipment and trials • Robot with force reflecting master arm• Vehicle • Cable handling and accessories
• Plan is based on studies and tests in 2011- 1012 then major purchases of equipment in 2013-2014

Collimator remote disconnection development issues
• Determine level of remote handling sophistication and viewing necessary for task
• Determine geometrical requirements• Navigation and communication issues• Review – radiation dose implications, risks etc
Collimation Working Group 6 June 2011 Keith Kershaw EN-HE
24
Determine level of remote handling sophistication necessary for task
• Practical mock-up tests with different remote handling techniques: e.g. master slave force reflecting manipulator , joystick control
Collimation Working Group 6 June 2011 Keith Kershaw EN-HE
25
Determine geometrical requirements
• Inventory of collimators, 3D models, photos. (eg alignment of flange release nuts)
• Collect details of tooling • Define geometrical restrictions and check
against commercial manipulator /robot arms• Catia studies

26
Solve mobile platform navigation and communication issues
• We have obtained EU Marie Curie funding to look into mobile platform issues specific to CERN’s radiation environment
• We are currently designing and will build a mobile test platform for this
• It will be possible to equip the mobile platform with an arm
Collimation Working Group 6 June 2011 Keith Kershaw EN-HE
27
Disconnection review – radiation dose implications, risks etc
• We have a joint project with RP and have obtained EU Marie Curie funding to look into radiation dose implications of handling scenarios. The collimator exchange will be a major case for this work.
Report at end of 2011 bringing together test and study outcomes with intermediate conclusions and way ahead.
