Incoming fault can be identified during inspections (temperature measurement)
~20.000 € (2nd motor
with diff. Unit)
Gearbox – fracture of shaft, gear or key
Very low (1 case at CERN due to intensive use at a load exceeding capacity)
Drop of load is avoided by emergency brake; load slips ~40 cm before being stopped with a deceleration of 1 m/s2. Intervention of personnel is required to manually lay the load on the ground
Yes (load

Yes (gearb
ox repair)
- Load laying: 4 hours
- Gearbox repair: 4 days
- Additional inspections: noise measurement and oil analysis
- Oversizing: gearbox designed as if it would be used in a heavy-duty crane (continuous use at full load)

Rope drum
Very low (1 case in HE history due to assembly fault)

- Load laying: 4 hours
- Rope drum replacement: 5 days
- Additional inspections: non-destructive tests
-
Rope Low
The entire load is sustained by the second rope (swaying); the load can be safely laid on the ground
- Yes 1 day (no exposure to radiation)
Incoming fault can be identified during visual inspections
-
*: intervention time doesn’t include lead time to have spare parts available

Fault AnalysisMechanical Faults
Cross and Long travel (horizontal movements)
- All the 4 wheels are motorized with self-braking motor+gearbox
- Motors and brakes are independently controlled
- In normal conditions only 2 motors are working; the other 2 motors are not
used and their brakes are left open

Fault AnalysisElectrical Faults
- Cubicles (both power and control) are located in a separate room
- The following equipment is on-board of the crane:
Junction boxes
Encoders / Laser (position detectors)
Weighing system
Cameras
- The only fault that will need access of personnel is a defect on wiring:
intervention time is about 1 hour (with spare wires already installed)

Recommendations for Remote Handling (ITER)
Consider RH compatibility from earliest stage of development cycle Prefer vertical load transfer during installation and removal Use of a crane provides compliance in 5 d.o.f. (helps self alignment) Provide for self alignment (into position and with handling equipment) –
typically use of cones Keep operations simple Recovery techniques vital
Provide space for handling trajectories and for vision Provide visual clues for gross alignment motions Protect sensitive equipment
