Abstract

The article describes the remote cutting tools designed for pipe cutting at Tokamak. Because of the special working environment, there are some design requirements for the cutting tools: the cutting swarf should be removed effectively, the quality of cut necessary for re-welding, and the cutting tools should be compact to fit into the maintenance manipulator for remote handling. The cutting tool consists of two parts: the cutting part and the sealing part. The two parts of cutting tool are designed to cut pipes and retain all cutting debris, respectively. A remote computer is used to input the commands and display data. During the cutting operation, the programmable controller has been used for controlling the cutting tool. The commands through the controller to motor drivers, implement the desired action.
