  • Patent number: 7621713
    Abstract: An automatic pallet loading/unloading method for radioactive waste drums is disclosed, which comprises the steps of: (a) providing a conveying pallet accommodating six radioactive waste drums; (b) arranging the pallet on a specific importing carrier; (c) performing a two-dimensional fetching position adjustment upon the pallet by the importing carrier; and (d) using a grabber crane to grab and carry the radioactive waste drums in a specific order so as to apply an continuous inspection process upon each radioactive waste drum successively. In a preferred aspect, the two-dimensional fetching position adjustment uses a transverse positioning operation cooperating with a lengthwise positioning operation to successively place each radioactive waste drum in a specific position to be grabbed by the grabber crane and thus to be inspected by the inspection process.
