Sealed chamber, for handling radioactive materials through gloves using robot, has internal module to take sensor readings for transmission by infra red beams to external module for transfer to robot

摘要

The sealed chamber in which is done has a transmission system between robot and sensors. The module receives data from the sensors for transmission to the robot. The module power supply is from a photo cell. An external module receives the data carried by the infra red beams. An external lamp illuminates the photo cell. The sealed chamber (1), where work within it is done through protective gloves using a programmable industrial robot (5), has a transmission system between the robot and sensors with a module (10) within the chamber. The module receives data from the sensors (3-2,4-2) for transmission to the robot through a multiplex infra red beam (11) through the chamber wall (2). The module power supply is from a photo cell (14). An external module (12) receives the data carried by the infra red beams, to be transferred through parallel data links (15) to the robot. An external lamp (13) illuminates the photo cell, to excite the electrical output for the internal module.
