Abstract

APARATO PARA EL MONTAJE Y SOLDADURA. DE TAPONES DISTALES TERMINALES A TUBOS VAINA QUE CONTIENEN COMBUSTIBLE NUCLEAR, Y PARA INSPECCIONAR LAS SOLDADURAS, TODO ELLO EN BASE AUTOMATIZADA. EN UN APARATO DE SOLDADURA FINAL AUTOMATIZADO, UN TRANSPORTADOR QUE TRANSPORTA TUBOS VAINA CARGADOS DE COMBUSTIBLE NUCLEAR, SUCESIVAMENTE HASTA UNA ESTACION DE COMPROBACION PARA VERIFICAR LA PRESENCIA DE UN MUELLE DE PRESION EN EL EXTREMO ABIERTO DE CADA TUBO VAINA, UNA ESTACION LECTORA EN DONDE SE LEE UN NUMERO DE SERIE EXCLUSIVO DEL PRIMER TAPON DISTAL, UNA ESTACION DE EVACUACION/RELLENADO EN DONDE EL TUBO VAINA SE RELLENA CON HELIO, UNA ESTACION DE SOLDADURA DE COSTURA EN DONDE SE SUELDA EL TAPON DISTAL TERMINAL AL EXTREMO ABIERTO DEL TUBO VAINA, Y UNA ESTACION DE SOLDADURA DE SELLADO EN DONDE EL TUBO SE PRESURIZA CON HELIO A TRAVES DE UN AGUJERO DE PRESURIZACION EN EL TAPON DISTAL TERMINAL, TRAS LO CUAL EL AGUJERO DE PRESURIZACION SE CIERRA SOLDANDOLO. DESPUES DE COMPROBAR SI EXISTE LA FUGA DE HELIO, LA SOLDADURA DE COSTURA SE INSPECCIONA EN UNA SUCESION DE ESTACIONES DE INSPECCION, Y DEPENDIENDO DE LOS RESULTADOS DE LA INSPECCION, LAS BARRAS DE COMBUSTIBLE NUCLEAR TERMINADAS SE CLASIFICAN EN LOTES ACEPTADOS Y LOTES RECHAZADOS.
