Abstract

EN UN PRIMER APARTO DE SOLDADURA AUTOMATICA, UN TRASPORTADOR LLEVA SUCESIVAMENTE LOS TUBOS DEL REVESTIMIENTO DEL COMBUSTIBLE NUCLEAR (43) A UNA ESTACION DE SOLDADURA (100) PRIMERO DONDE SE SUELDA UN CIERRE AL EXTREMO DE CADA TUBO (DE 108). LUEGO, EL TRANSPORTADOR LLEVA LOS TUBOS SUCESIVAMENTE A UNA ESTACION DE ENFRIAMIENTO (200) DONDE LAS SOLDADURAS SE ENFRIAN, LUEGO A UNA ESTACION DE LECTURA (220) DONDE SE LEE UN NUMERO EXCLUSIVO DE CIERRE DE TUBO, Y LUEGO A UNA SERIE DE ETAPAS DE INSPECCION (230, 28, 320) EN LAS QUE SE EXAMINAN AUTOMATICAMENTE LAS CARACTERISTICAS INTERNAS Y EXTERNAS DE LAS SOLDADURAS. A FINES DE REGISTRO, LOS DATOS ASI OBTENIDOS SE CORRELACIONAN CON EL NUMERO DE SERIE Y LAS SOLDADURAS SE PRUEBAN NUEVAMENTE CON NORMAS DE CALIDAD ESTANDAR, SEPARANDOSE LUEGO LOS TUBOS EN LOTES ACEPTADOS O RECHAZADOS.
