Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus for cable management synchronized with telescopic motion. The apparatus is configured such that cables for transmitting power or signals to a manipulator provided on a lower end of a telescopic tube and for receiving signals therefrom are wound or unwound in response to expansion or contraction of the telescopic tube. Moreover, the apparatus is configured such that the cables are prevented from being displaced from the correct positions, a noise is prevented from being generated, and the tension of each cable is adjusted even when it is in the clamped state.

Abstract: A telescopic tube set for a bridge transport system is disclosed. The telescopic tube set includes cylindrical tubes each having an upper end, at which an upper ring is mounted, and a lower end, at which a lower ring is mounted, the cylindrical tubes having different diameters, pulleys mounted to respective inner wall surfaces of a part of the tubes, and extension/retraction lines each having an end connected to the upper ring of a corresponding one of the tubes, and an opposite end connected to the upper ring of another corresponding one of the tubes while extending around the pulley mounted to the tube interposed between the corresponding tubes. A plurality of bearings are installed at the lower ring to guide the tube, at which the lower ring is mounted, such that the tube extends or retracts straight in a longitudinal direction.

Abstract: An apparatus and system for separating remaining powder of hulls includes a first remaining powder separating unit to be supplied with hulls of a spent nuclear fuel subjected to a high-temperature oxidation, and to include a first brush for separating remaining powder of the hulls; a hull alignment unit to be supplied with the hulls from the first remaining powder separating unit, and to align the hulls; a second remaining powder separating unit to be supplied with the aligned hulls from the hull alignment unit, and to include a second brush for separating remaining powder adhered on an inner peripheral surface of the hulls; and a third remaining powder separating unit to be supplied with the hulls from the second remaining powder separating unit, and to separate the remaining powder remaining on the inner/outer peripheral surface of the hulls by using air.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a cable-driven manipulator comprising an operating unit having a drive motor, and a pulley rotated by the drive motor. An upper arm is coupled, through a joint, to one side of the operating unit. A forearm coupled, through a joint, to the other side of the upper arm by the cable. A gripper of an end effector operably coupled to the forearm, a cable compensation device is installed between the upper arm and the forearm so as to maintain constant the length of the cable that transmits the power of the operating unit to the end effector during the pivoting of the forearm. It is thus possible to prevent the variation of tensile force due to the variation of the length of the cable for operating the end effector during the pivoting of the forearm or the unintended malfunction of the end effector.

Abstract: A system applicable to a bridge transporter telescopic servomanipulator, is provided. The bridge transporter telescopic servomanipulator is used for performing operation and maintenance of process equipments in a working environment having a possibility of radiation exposure. The system can be coupled/decoupled by including a coupling device in a telescopic transfer device and a servomanipulator, and can manipulate an ascending/descending device of the servomanipulator in a remote area without direct access by a worker. The coupling/decoupling device includes a first coupling plate and a second coupling plate, the first coupling plate being provided on a lower portion of the telescopic transfer device, and the second coupling plate being provided on an upper portion of the servomanipulator.
