Final Design based on the Preliminary Designs supplied by IO2. Develop control system for Blanket Assembly Tooling3. Production of SRO End Effectors and Tools prototypes (First Batch of Tooling)a. Note that skipping the prototype is an option4. Production of pre-SRO End Effectors and Tools (Tooling Production Units for pre-SRO)5. Factory Acceptance Tests6. Site Acceptance TestsJADA will manufacture the tools and end effectors for Blanket assembly, provide manuals, andperform functional testing, but the actual Blanket assembly operations and preparation, includingcreation of WPSs for real blanket piping welding, are not within JADA’s scope4.1 Overview of Blanket Modules AssemblyBlanket Modules (BM) consist of Shield Blocks (SB) and First Wall (FW) units (see Figure 1).
For pre-SRO operations, Temporary First Wall (TFW) units will be used, which will not haveactive cooling, meaning there will be no pipe joint to be made between SBs and TFWs. ShieldBlocks are connected to the VV via Flexible Cartridges (for positioning) and captive FlexibleCartridge Bolts (for fixing) (see Figure 2). TFWs are connected to the SB via a Central Bolt (CB)(see Figure 3) and pads for positioningSUPPLYPage 10 of 106Figure 1 Blanket Module attached to the VVFigure 2 Flexible Cartridge interface between VV and SB (yellow outline is the border between SB and VV components)Figure 3 Central Bolt interface between SB and TFW (yellow line is the border between TFW and SB)SUPPLYPage 11 of 106SBs and TFWs will be transferred to their position in the vessel by the Blanket AssemblyTransporter (BAT), using dedicated End Effectors called Shield Block Gripper (SBG) and FirstWall Gripper (FWG).
After the SBs are temporarily fixed in position by the BAT, FCBs and Electrical Strap Bolts(ESB) must be tightened to predefined torque levels. FCB torquing will be performed by aspecific FCB Tightening Tool Base (FBT), which is an End Effector to be handled and fixed tothe front of the SB by the BAT. ESB tightening will be done by a the Electrical Strap BoltTorquing Tool (ESBT) using the front pockets of the SB to react the torque applied. Pictures ofthe concept for these EEs and Tools will be shown later in dedicated sectionsBlanket manifolds, supplying cooling water to BMs, are routed in the space between VV andSB. Two ways have been developed to connect manifolds to BMsThe first solution is where the inlet and outlet manifolds meet in a Coaxial Connector (CC) (seeFigure 5), which is welded to the SB pipe stub at the bottom of the SB. CC is used for most ofthe SBs. The tools used at this joint are: CCWT: Coaxial Connector Welding Tool CCCT: Coaxial Connector Cutting ToolBoth should weigh less than 40 kg (similar to all Tools), handled by the zero G arm on the IVTCNacelle and to be fixed to the Tool Fixing Unit (TFU) of a Shield Block Pulling & Welding ToolBase (SBTB).
When the Tool axis is horizontal, the zero G arm should, ideally, be aligned so that there is nomoment load that the operator has to compensate. However, there are situations, when this isimpossible, due to ergonomic reasons or space constraints. Tools and their gripping features (forthe zero G arm and for handling) should be designed so that an operator can compensate themoment load generated from the CoG being at an offset from the last swivel joint of the zero Garm.
Figure 4 Explanatory figure of moment load on operator (video from https://www.cyborg-arms.com/ (accessed on 24/01/2025).
Moment load to compensate is equal to (tool weight x CoG offset)SUPPLYPage 12 of 106Figure 5 Coaxial Connector as interface between SB cooling channels and Blanket ManifoldsThe second solution consists of 2 Monoaxial Connectors (MC) (see Figure 6) to be welded to thebottom of the SB, instead of a single CC. In this case, one of the two SB access holes must becapped off. MCs have to be welded to SB pipe stubs, whereas a butt weld should join the EC toa lip on the SB. All SBs in rows 8 and 18 and three 15ND blocks (15ND, 15NDA, 15NDB) haveMC connectors. The tools used for this are: MCPT: Monoaxial Connector Pulling Tool MCAMT: Monoaxial Connector Alignment Measurement Tool MCWT: Monoaxial Connector Welding Tool MCCT: Monoaxial Connector Cutting Tool ECHT: End Cap Handling Tool ECWT: End Cap Welding Tool ECCT: End Cap Cutting ToolAll of these are light tools and should weigh less than 40kg. They are to be handled with the useof a load compensation device. Except for ECHT, all are to be fixed to the TFU of SBTB. ECHTis a very simple tool for picking and positioning the EC.
Figure 6 Monoaxial Connector as interface between SB cooling channels and Blanket ManifoldsThe remaining parts of the BM cooling system are out of scope for this work, because neitherthe SB nor the TFW will have active cooling at the pre-SRO phase. Regardless of no cooling,CC and MC connections must be welded during First Assembly because correcting a failed weldat this phase bears a lot less risk than at later assembly phases15ND modules are irregular Shield Block units at the entry of the 3 NB ports (see Figure 7). Toinstall them, a specific Gripper (15NDG) will have to be developed and a Tool Base (15NDTB)to fix and align the abovementioned tools for welding MCs and ECs.
SUPPLYPage 13 of 106Figure 7 15ND Shield Block in Sector 3When all SB welding processes are done and FCB and ES bolts are torqued, the FWG (via BAT)installs the TFW modules, applying a temporary torque on the CB. After this, a First Wall CentralBolt Tightening End Effector (FWCBT) will torque the CB to the predefined level. As a last step,the ESBT tool is to be used again, to tighten the ESBs of the TFW to the same torque level asfor the SBsA Viewing Tool (VT) should be used by an operator before and after each cutting or weldingoperation to inspect the pipe joints visually.
When a Tool is being used, it is important to assess, which other Tools will be needed insubsequent operations. Also, there are cases, where the Tools are used in combination tocomplete an operation. For example, MCAMT and MCWT are always used together MCWTfollowing MCAMT.
These Tools, which are not being used, but will be needed soon, should be stored in-vessel forquicker and easier tool replacement. For this, a Tool Storage Rack (TSR) and a Nacelle ToolStorage (NTS) shall be developed.
TSR is an End Effector, connected to one of the SBs or TFWs in row#18 and it should be ableto hold at least 4 ToolsNTS is a structure that should be fixed to the IVTC Nacelle basket frame, and it should be ableto hold 2 Tools. The Tools stored in the NTS are directly accessible to the Operator, who can usethe zero G arm (also fixed to the Nacelle basket) to pull out or depose a ToolSee Table 1 for a complete list of End Effectors, Tools and Supporting Equipment to bedeveloped in the context of Shield Block and Temporary First Wall First AssemblyIn Table 5, the EEs and Tools are listed in the order of usage. It is also shown, which tools areused together with which End Effectors. All End Effectors have Tool Changer interfaces, but notall of them remain connected to the BAT. Tool Bases, such as SBTB and 15NDTB are placedinto position on the target SB (or 15ND) by the BAT, after which they are fixed automatically tothe target Component. Then, the Tool Changer Master Side disconnects from the Tool Side andthe BAT leaves the Tool Base. After the disconnection from the BAT, services shall be fed viathe TSS to the Tool Bases via separate cables, connected manually by an operator from one ofthe nearby NacellesSUPPLYPage 14 of 106End Effectors Tools AuxiliaryShield Block Gripper (SBG)Electrical Strap Bolt TorquingTool (ESBT)Blanket Tooling SupportingEquipmentFlexible Cartridge Bolt TorquingTool Base (FBT)Viewing Tool (VT) Tooling Services Skid (TSS)Shield Block Pulling and WeldingTool Base (SBTB)Coaxial Connector Welding Tool(CCWT)Umbilical Handling System(UHS)15ND Gripper (15NDG)Coaxial Connector Cutting Tool(CCCT)Umbilical Temporary Clamp(UTC)15ND Tool Base (15NDTB)Monoaxial Connector AlignmentMeasurement Tool (MCAMT)In-vessel Tool StorageFirst Wall Gripper (FWG)Monoaxial Connector PullingTool (MCPT)Tool Storage Rack (TSR)First Wall Central Bolt TorquingEnd Effector (FWCBT)Monoaxial Connector WeldingTool (MCWT)Nacelle Tool Storage (NTS)Monoaxial Connector CuttingTool (MCCT)End Cap Handling Tool (ECHT)End Cap Welding Tool (ECWT)End Cap Cutting Tool (ECCT)Table 1 End Effectors and Tools included in the scope of First Assembly of SB and TFW modulesEnd EffectorsAnticipated numberof variantsShield Block Gripper (SBG) 3Flexible Cartridge Bolt Torquing Tool Base (FBT) 1Shield Block Pulling and Welding Tool Base (SBTB) 5-10 (modular design)15ND Gripper (15NDG) 115ND Tool Base (15NDTB) 1First Wall Gripper (FWG) 1First Wall Central Bolt Torquing End Effector (FWCBT) 1Total number of End Effectors to develop 13-18Table 2 Anticipated total number of End Effectors to develop (number of production units will differ)SUPPLYPage 15 of 106ToolsAnticipatednumber of variantsElectrical Strap Bolt Torquing Tool (ESBT) 1Viewing Tool (VT) 1Coaxial Connector Welding Tool (CCWT) 1Coaxial Connector Cutting Tool (CCCT) 1Monoaxial Connector Alignment Measurement Tool(MCAMT)1Monoaxial Connector Pulling Tool (MCPT) 1Monoaxial Connector Welding Tool (MCWT) 1Monoaxial Connector Cutting Tool (MCCT) 1End Cap Handling Tool (ECHT) 1End Cap Welding Tool (ECWT) 1End Cap Cutting Tool (ECCT) 1Total number of Tools to develop 11Table 3 Anticipated total number of Tools to develop (number of production units will differ)End EffectorsAnticipated numberof variantsBlanket Tooling Supporting EquipmentTooling Services Skid (TSS) 1Umbilical Handling System (UHS) 1Umbilical Temporary Clamp (UTC) 1In-vessel Tool StorageTool Storage Rack (TSR) 2Nacelle Tool Storage (NTS) 1Total number of Auxiliary Components to develop 6Table 4 Anticipated total number of Auxiliary Components to develop (number of production units will differ)SUPPLYPage 16 of 106Initial Assembly EEs and Toolsin the order of usageEnd Effector ToolSupportingequipmentSBG - BATFBT - BTSE- ESBT n/a - manualCCWTCCCTMCPTMCAMTMCWTMCCTECHTECWTSBTBECCTBTSE15NDG - BATMCPTMCAMTMCWTMCCTECHTECWT15NDTBECCTBTSEFWG - BATFWCBT - BATTable 5 EEs and Tools in the order of usage during First AssemblyIn addition to the End Effectors and Tools, a Blanket Tooling Supporting Equipment (BTSE)system shall be developed, composed of a Tooling Services Skid (TSS) located in the Port Cell,an Umbilical Handling System (UHS) located in the Equatorial Port and several in-vesselUmbilical Temporary Clamps (UTC) to provide services to said EEs and Tools (see section4.2.19)The development of End Effectors shall include the design and supply of custom mounts (seesection 4.2.21) that can be used to connect the EEs to the Storage Box in transfer configuration4.2 Final design of End Effectors and ToolsJADA and their Contractors shall conduct the final design for all the EEs and Tools in Table 5for IO approval. This scope of work shall include: Final design based on the preliminary designs provided by IO in this document and therequirements listed in Ref.

The following sections present preliminary designs of EEs and Tools (and the auxiliaryequipment) to be used for Blanket First Assembly. They give an overview of the design, and theyshould be read together with Ref. [1], which lists the detailed general and functionalrequirements4.2.1 Shield Block GripperThe SBG is an End Effector to grasp and transport the SB.
Design descriptionThe main functions and corresponding sub-systems of the SBG are as follows: Central Clamping Mechanism to securely grasp the M64 thread of the SB ESB Wrench Units to tighten ESB consisting of:o A motorized extension mechanism to insert the wrench into the ESB socket afterthe SB is placed on the Flexible Cartridgeso A motorized translation mechanism to reach different ESB positionso A motorized wrench rotation mechanism to apply torque to the ESBo Maraging steel wrenches with high yield strength to apply torque Base Plate (or Gripper Frame) as structural housing of the device and equipped witho Tool Changer Tool Side for connection to the BAT General EEo Interface feature for connection the SBG to SBo Two cameras for robot vision for positioning the SBGo Embedded controllerThe main function of the SBG is to be able to carry Shield Blocks to their destination inside thetokamak and tighten the ES Bolts to temporary torque level. The SBG performs temporary fixingoperation of the ESB to the parking thread (M72) on the SB side (so-called ‘re-parking’) in orderto prevent the ESB from becoming free while SB handling. The concept of compliancemechanism on the wrench to achieve this is provided by the IO [R12]The SBG may have multiple variations, but all the variants should have the functionality to:move the ES wrenches towards and away from the Central Barrel; and to raise and lower themSUPPLYPage 18 of 106in order to reach the ESB socket through the access hole of the SB. This second function isnecessary, because the wrenches need to be retracted whilst the SB is picked up and being movedinside the vessel. The wrenches should only be extended when the SB is positioned safely on theFlexible CartridgesFigure 8 Overview of the main functions of the Shield Block GripperSB installation using the SBG (and the BAT arm) is show in Figure 9 belowFigure 9 Shield Block installation concept using the SBGProcess and Interface DescriptionThe interfaces of the SBG are similar to the interfaces between TFW and SB. After deliveringthe SB into position within the VV, the SBG should tighten the ESBs to a temporary torque level.
SUPPLYPage 19 of 106Figure 10 Overview of the front access holes of the SBFrom the access holes shown in Figure 10, the SBG will make use of the Central Bolt interface(blue) and ESB access holes (yellow). After the SB is positioned properly on the FlexibleCartridges (see Figure 2), the SBG should extend its wrenches through the SB access hole toreach the ESB sockets. As can be seen in Figure 12, the SB access hole is a M24 female thread(with a minor diameter of 20.75 mm), which is the thread used for connecting the TFW ElectricalStrap to the SB, using a similar Electrical Strap Bolt. Thus, it is important that the SBG wrenchshould not damage these threads. Wrench body should be cylindrical.
Figure 11 Cross-section of the SB at the ES positionFigure 12 SB ESB access holeThe wrenches of the SBG need to move to and away from the central barrel, to be able to graband fix as many Shield Blocks as possibleSUPPLYPage 20 of 106A list is provided in Table 6 for the position of all Electrical Staps for all SBs. This table is not acomplete list of all ESB depths. There are cases, where the two ESBs are at two different depthswith respect to the SB front face. So, the models of all SB variants should be checked to acquirethe full list of ESB depths.
In the table below, the 15ND Shield Blocks are also listed, but they will have separate 15NDGrippers. It is clear from the table that the vertical movement range of the SBG wrenches is quitelarge. Also, the ES depth with respect to the front SB surface varies a lot (e.g. difference in depthbetween row 8 and row 15 is 203.3 mm). Due to these large variations, it is not expected that oneSBG design will be sufficient to cover all SB rows. However, the number of SBG variants shouldbe kept reasonably low. Also, SBGs should be able to operate in an upside-down configuration(rotated by 180 degrees around the central barrel by the joints movement of BAT) in order tohave more flexibility (e.g. row 14 and 15 should be handled by the same SBG design, only in aflipped orientation)8 9 10 111 493 342 151 164.92 493 342 151 164.93 493 342 151 164.94 493 342 151 164.95 493 342 151 164.96 493.3 329.4 163.9 173.97 578 428 150 88.78 560 410 150 519 440 290 150 135.510 572 377 195 13811C 444 150 294 211.211ECH 444 150 294 211.211S 579 205 374 218.712 449 153 296 219.913 456 163 293 212.614 535 150 385 25115 546 396 150 254.316 575 320 255 195.617 492 339 153 208.618 519.5 179.5 340 122.714 NB 535 150 385 183.414 NC(V) 570 190 380 253.314 ND(V) 460.6 310.6 150 233.114 NDL 460.6 310.6 150 177.1414 NE X X X 214.715 NB 530 360 170 189.615 NC(V) X X X 257.915 ND 36715 NDL 36715 NDV 36715 NE X X X 230.715 ST 546 396 150 196.316 ST 575 320 255 136.618 ANU 430 280 150 122.718 E 430 280 150 122.7Distance centralbolt ES UPDistance centralbolt ES DOWNDistance from SB surfaceto ES bolt headSB Distance between ESTable 6 ES bolt positions with respect to CB insert [2]For most of the SBs (incl. all regular ones), the ES and CB positions fall within one straight line.
However, there are a few special SB types, for which the ES bolts are at an offset. The SBG forthese SBs will need to have offset mounting positions for the wrenches or they will have to benew variants altogetherSUPPLYPage 21 of 106Table 7 Shield Blocks with ES bolt position offset [2]In the following paragraphs the IO proposal is presented for the concept of the SBG. It shall benoted that the concept follows the technical requirements presented in Ref. [1], but it only showsthe main functions and interfaces, which shall be elaborated furtherFigure 13 SBG main components and interfaces with SB4.2.1.1 Interfaces with the Shield BlockInterfaces with the SB (similar for all EEs connected to SB) (colours according to Figure 13):1.

The torquing should be done by the combination of a compact motor and a torque multiplier.
The wrench used for applying the high torque is made from maraging steel, with very high yieldSUPPLYPage 23 of 106strength. The wrench head takes the form of the Straight type shown in [R17] Figure 2-4 (1),with a small clearance to permit minor misalignment with the socket. The connection betweenthe torque multiplier and the wrench should be made via a torque transducer, to measure theapplied torque directly on the wrench sideJust like all the other EEs, the FBT should also be equipped with two cameras in the verticalplaneA GEDORE DVV-100ZRS (gear ratio 1:28.5) torque multiplier (or similar) should be used toproduce the required torque:https://www.gedore.com/en-at/products/torque-tools/torque-multipliers-accessories/torque-multipliers/dvv-60zrs---dvv-130zrs-torque-multiplier-dremoplus-alu-6000-13000-nm---4400-9530-lbfft/dvv-100zrs---2653133 (accessed on 18/10/2024)This type of multiplier has grease inside without sealing at the input and output shafts. Thus, theGEDORE multipliers should always be contained in a housing with one seal at each opening(input shaft + output shaft)Figure 15 FBT concept designFigure 16 Simplified scheme of the links and joints of the FBT conceptThe concept design presented in Figure 15 has a few major points, where it does not meet therequirements yet. The missing points are: Develop the concept to show all functions. For example, the rotation DoF around thecentral holeSUPPLYPage 24 of 106 It should be assessed if the joint screws can be motorized. If not, a cover should be addedto the full FBT, with access only to the screw keys, to prevent accidents and preservecleanliness Tool Changer Tool Side interface to be added, positioned so that the arm can rotate toreach holes on the opposite side Interface with SB to be added. SBG, SBTB and FBT should share the SB interfaces (seesection 4.2.1.1).
Process DescriptionAfter the SB is installed on the VV wall and the ESBs are temporary tightened, the next operationis to tighten the FCBs, which are, in their default position, embedded in the Flexible Cartridgesand secured by a parking thread (Figure 17). The first step is for an operator to engage the FCBwith the threaded insert of the SB. This is a fully manual bolting operation with a long wrench;hand tightness is sufficient (around 50 Nm); no prescribed torque is to be applied.
JADA and their contractor shall develop this simple wrench as an accessory to bolt the FCBs.
This wrench should have the proper engagement and PHS at one end and a manual handle at theother end. Its length should be sufficient to reach the deepest FCBs, including the FCB to bebolted during 15ND attachment (see section 4.2.15 and Figure 77 in particular)Figure 17 Flexible Cartridge Bolt initial engagement – done manuallyThe FCBs must be torqued to a high torque level, which cannot be done manually. For this, adedicated Tool Base (the FBT) shall be used. The FBT shall be transferred into the VV via theIVDT Storage Box and picked up by the BAT for positioning inside the vessel. The FBT shouldhave the interfaces as the SBG to connect to the BAT General EE via the Tool Changer on oneside and then to connect to the target SB via the same interfaces presented in 4.2.1.1 on the otherside.
The sequence to align with an SB access hole is the following:1. Theoretical position is set using the screw drives and resolvers. Joint angles arepredetermined based on CAD data (using the as-built SB information if necessary)2. Misalignment is checked with e.g. by a sensor attached to the shaft3. Correction of joint angles4.2.3 Electrical Strap Bolt Torquing ToolThe Electrical Strap Bolt Torquing Tool is used for tightening the SB ESBs, 15ND ESBs andTFW ESBs (see Figure 18). Therefore, it should have one generic design with possibilities forreconfiguration for the SB or the TFWSUPPLYPage 25 of 106Design descriptionThe main functions and corresponding sub-systems of the ESBT are as follows: Manual torque application mechanism consisting of ao Torque multiplier provides the required torque for ESB tighteningo Maraging steel wrench with PHS at the wrench tipo Torque input with 1/2 inch socketo Zero G arm interface COTS Torque wrench to apply torque to the input socket Torque reaction feature which has the following configurationso Interface with SB pocket (multiple variants)o Interface with TFW RH interface side wallso Interface with 15ND monoaxial access holesFor the ESB wrench, the same requirements apply as for the SBG wrenches, they should fitthrough the M24 insert of the SB (see Figure 12) without damaging the threadAs the ESBT should be designed to be a manual tool, there is no need to make several versionsof it, the wrench could simply be replaced to reach ES Bolts at different depths (see Table 6)Figure 18 Electrical Strap Bolts of the Shield Blocks and Temporary First WallsThe ESBT should be a fully manual tool without any automatization. It should comprise acalibrated torque wrench attached to a torque multiplier to produce the required torque fortightening the ESBs, and a reaction feature (key) to interface with the pocket of the SB and theRH insert of the TFW. The shape of the TFW ESB access hole and the reaction feature iscommon across all variantsSUPPLYPage 26 of 106Figure 19 Features (highlighted in orange) to be used for reacting the torque applied on the ESB (left: SB pocket side walls;right: TFW RH interface side walls, and it is possible to use the other RH interface insert, or gripping hole)The concept design for Electrical Strap Bolt Torquing Tool is shown in the figure below.
Figure 20 ESBT concept designThe ESBT shown above is a concept design, some of the areas will have to be refined, such asthe coupling between the wrench and the interface between the zero G arm and the multiplierhousing. The latter interface is highly customizable, so the exact geometry is TBD consideringaccessibility and ergonomics. Also, the multiplier housing geometry in the figure above issimplified, it will probably have to be welded together from two partsThe exemplary torque multiplier in Figure 20 is a DREMOPLUS ALU 1300 Nm DVV-13Z fromGEDORE:https://www.gedore.com/en-at/products/torque-tools/torque-multipliers-accessories/torque-multipliers/dvv-13z-torque-multiplier-dremoplus-alu-1300-n-m---950-lbf-ft/dvv-13z---2653370 (accessed on 09/12/2024)This type of multiplier has grease inside without sealing at the input and output shafts. Thus, theGEDORE multipliers should always be contained in a housing with one seal at each opening(input shaft + output shaft)SUPPLYPage 27 of 106The torque multiplier above has a gear ratio of 1:5, which means that for a target final torque of480 Nm, 96 Nm will have to be applied to the top input socket.
Even though the ESBT is a lightweight (below 10 kg) manual tool with the PHS system at thewrench tip, it cannot be expected that an operator can hold it and apply torque at the same time,without damaging the insert, sometimes doing this upside-down in the tokamak. Thus, the ESBTshould be designed to be held continuously by a load compensation device (e.g. zero gravityarm), which is connected to the Nacelle and positioned and operated by an operatorThe number of key and wrench variants to be expected (to be confirmed via comprehensivestudy): Wrench: ~4 variants, including 1 variant dedicated to 15ND Key: ~8 variants, including ~2 variants for regular SBs and TFWs, ~5 for the SBspresented in Figure 23, Figure 24 and Figure 25, and 1 variant dedicated to 15NDThe total number of variants depends on the final design of the TFWProcess and Interface DescriptionMost of the Shield Blocks (e.g. rows 1-6, 9-11 and row 18) share the same SB pocket geometry(SB#4 is one example), which means that the key can be common for all these Shield Blocks.
The spline shaft connection with the key allows flexibility for axial alignment, and the ESBT ingeneral will be less sensitive to geometric tolerances of the SB pocket and to the ESB positionwith respect to the ES pocket positionFigure 21 ESBT in the context of SB#4Shield Block rows 12-17 have narrower pockets, but other dimensions are the same (taper angle,depth), so there will have to be a second version of the key, which is easy to replace. Only thesnap ring has to be taken off and the key can be slid off the spline shaftSUPPLYPage 28 of 106Figure 22 ESBT in the context of SB#15Also, as can be seen in Table 6, the ESB depth varies a lot from row to row. The configurationshown in Figure 22 shows an example (row 15) where the ES pocket is narrow and the ESBdepth is one of the largest. The difference between row 4 and 15 in ESB depth is too much forthe spline shaft to cope with, so the wrench should be replaced with a longer oneFigure 19 above shows reaction features to be used on regular SBs. However, there are a few SBinstances, where the SB ES position is not aligned with the FW ES position. This means that theSB ESB access hole is not in the pocket of the FW ES. In these cases, the ESBT will not be ableto make use of the pocket side walls in the same way. Instead, the ESBT should have custom keyvariants interacting in another way with the FW ES pocket or use other features of the SB.

For this, another key design will haveto be developedFigure 28 ESBT design for 15ND blocksFigure 29 Explanation of ESBT design for 15NDSUPPLYPage 31 of 106In order to avoid lateral movement of the wrench due to the applied force on the wrench handle,either the top part of the ESB access hole (as shown above) can be used as force reaction or else,both MC access holes can be usedThe figure below shows how the ESBT should be used to tighten TFW ES bolts, using the sameESBT design. In fact, the components shown in Figure 30 are the same as the ones in Figure 21.

4.2.4 Viewing ToolIt is necessary to visually inspect all joints (CC, MC, EC) before and after the welding or cuttingoperation. This is the first, quick step of the inspection, to check that everything is where it shouldbe and there is no obstruction. Alignment will be measured precisely later by dedicated tools(CCWT and MCAMT) that do not provide footage of the joint, only distance measurement data.
Thus, a Viewing Tool (VT) is to be prepared, which is a unit integrating a portable screen andcontrol system that can easily be handled by an operator on the Nacelle. As a provisionalselection, the OLYMPUS IPLEX GX/GT videoscope system or an equivalent product shall bepurchased and supplied. Since this is a COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) purchase, FAT / SATare not required.
Figure 31 Example for an endoscopic visual inspection unit with screen and control system integrated (this example is anOLYMPUS IPLEX GX/GT videoscope system)SUPPLYPage 32 of 106There are only a few specific requirements related to the VT, which all have to do with providinga clear, well-lit, high-definition footage of the joints. The above provisional selection isconsidered to meet these requirements. The endoscope will reach the joints via the SB accessholes, similarly to the Tools used for creating or disconnecting the welds.
In the CC and MC case the pipe joint is perpendicular to the pipe axis, so the endoscope headeither must be small enough to be bent at 90 degree or it must have a right-angle mirror at theend. Remotely driven insertion tube can also be used:https://static3.olympus-ims.com/data/VideoLibrary/Videos/Precisemovements_360.mp4?rev=FB06(accessed on 19/11/2024)Figure 32 Remotely driven insertion tube4.2.5 Shield Block Pulling and Welding Tool BaseThe purpose of the Shield Block Pulling and Welding Tool Base (SBTB) is to provide a rigidinterface between the SB and the Tools used for pipe welding and cutting operations. Not onlydoes it have to be stiff enough to align and fix Tools with respect to the target SB, but it mustprovide necessary services to the Tools, including current and shielding gas, and its EmbeddedController box should accommodate motor controllers to control the motors integrated into theTools. The Tools themselves will have control cables and other service cables that should all beconnected to the connectors located on the SBTBDesign descriptionThe main functions and corresponding sub-systems of the SBTB are as follows: Tool Fixing Unit (TFU) Provides alignment functionality for Toolso XY table for radial alignmento Z linear guide for axial positioning can be implemented either in the TFU or Toolo Shim block to adjust Tool positions for different SBs Base Plate equipped witho Central Clamping Mechanism locks the SBTB to the SBo Tool Changer interface to allow modular tool exchangeo Two cameras for robotic visiono Embedded controllerThe SBTB will comprise a Tool Fixing Unit (TFU), which should provide alignmentfunctionality for the Tools (XY table for radial alignment). Z linear guide for axial positioningcan be implemented either in the TFU or Tool side.
The same interfaces are to be used for connecting to the SB as for the SBG (see section 4.2.1.1)An overview of the SBTB concept is given in the following figuresSUPPLYPage 33 of 106Figure 33 Overview of the SBTB concept (with CCWT mounted) (Z linear guide might be integrated into the Tools eventually)A more detailed overview of the SBTB concept is given in the figure belowFigure 34 SBTB concept descriptionThe functions described in the figure above are common to all SBTB variants, irrespective of thetarget SB. As mentioned above, the functions are gathered into modules, which can bereconfigured rather quickly. However, this reconfiguration is to be done ex-vesselSimilarly, the Tools, which are to be attached to the SBTB, should have a modular design, thusreducing the number of variants. For example, instead of having a large number of CCWT andCCCT variants for different CC depths, they should have one generic design and coarse verticaladjustment should be made by a shim, the thickness of which should correspond to the target SBand which is to be placed between the Tool and the TFU of the SBTB (see Figure 34 and Figure35). Please note that for a few Shield Blocks, the CC can be tilted in two directions. These shouldbe identified by checking the GAD drawings in [11] or the 3D modelsSUPPLYPage 34 of 106Figure 35 Modules of the SBTB and CCWTThe modules of the SBTB are connected by bolts, thus can be separated easily. Some of themodules will be common for all SBTB configurations (such as the load bearing arm, XY tablemodule and tool holder module (see Figure 36)), whilst some will have smaller or larger numberof variants. For example, if the taper angle of the shim is large due to the large inclination of theCC, the Tool Changer will have to move in order not to clash with the tool holder module (anexample of this will be shown later for SB #7). Only one shim variant will be required for eachSB variant, and the same shim variant might be compatible with multiple SB variants having thesame CC angle. Different sizes of Central Barrel modules will probably be necessary to becompatible with all SB geometries. It is also expected that the Tool Base plate will need smallmodifications (in length, camera placement, pocket dimensions) in order to fit all SBs, CCs andMCsFigure 36 SBTB modules shown separatelyOne of the key features of the SBTB is the alignment of the Tools with respect to the SB accessholes to the Coaxial and Monoaxial Connectors. Radial misalignment should be taken care of bythe XY table module, whereas angular misalignment should be avoided by preciselymanufactured shim modules. For this, the shims will have to be specific for all CC and MCangles. The residual angular misalignment between the Tool and SB hole is expected to beSUPPLYPage 35 of 106negligible compared to the allowed gap and step between the CC (or MC) and the SB pipe stub.
There is no need to produce multiple shim blocks or shims to account for manufacturing errorsbetween multiple SBs of the same variant.
Figure 37 SBTB and CCWT degrees of freedom (Central Barrel module is to be updated) (Z linear guide might be integratedinto the Tools eventually)The total number of DoFs, when assembled with CCWT, can be seen in Figure 37. As discussedearlier, the XY table is needed to correct radial misalignment, precise shimming will preventangular misalignment and another custom shim between the Tool and the TFU will align thetorch (or cutting blade) with the pipe joint axially.
The purpose of Z linear guide, shown in Figure 38 and Figure 37, is to lower and raise the tip ofthe Tool with respect to the nominal position. The CCWT design will include an embeddeddistance sensor, which is mounted with an axial offset with regards to the position of the weldingtorch. After applying the pulling force, the residual gap and step between the CC/MC and the SBstub should be measured by the distance sensor and if it is acceptable, the Tool can be raisedback to perform the weldProcess and Interface DescriptionThe SBTB will be transferred into the VV by the IVDT and picked up by the BAT for in-vesselpositioning. For this, two cameras are needed at the SBTB plate ends, facing the target SB. Afterthe SBTB is positioned on the target SB, the embedded Central Clamping Mechanism of theTool Base is engaged with the SB insertGiven the large number of CC and MC angles (with respect to the CB angle) and positions (withrespect to the CB axis position), multiple SBTB variations will be needed. However, the SBTBconcept presented in Figure 33 has a modular design, which can be easily reconfigured fordifferent SBTB variants.
SUPPLYPage 36 of 106Figure 38 Shield Block Pulling and Welding Tool Base in the context of Shield Block #15 (Z linear guide might be integratedinto the Tools eventually)When the SBTB is configured ex-vessel for a given target SB, neither the Tool nor the loadbearing arm (see figure above) is connected to the Tool Base.
Figure 39 Retrieval of the SBTB from the IVDT (the rest of the BAT arm is not shown)The in-vessel assembly of the SBTB includes a few quick and simple steps that can be carriedout by an operator. For the Tool handling, the operator should use a zero G arm, until it is securedfirmly to the TFU of the SBTBSUPPLYPage 37 of 106Figure 40 In-vessel assembly steps of the SBTBIn Figure 40, the assembly steps are shown for CCWT in the context of SB#15. For all the othertools (CCCT, MCAMT, MCPT, MCWT, ECWT, ECCT), there are even fewer steps, and theassembly is reduced to fixing the tool to the TFU or using the load bearing arm only (probablyin the case of MCPT)Welding operations will be performed after FCB and ESB tightening. The sequence of thecomplete welding scenario for CC welding is the following:Assembly(0.) Configure SBTB modules ex-vessel, send into the vessel via the IVDT to be picked upby the BAT arm1. Place the Tool Base onto the target Shield Block. Automatic locking of the Tool Base tothe SB via Central Clamping Mechanism2. Select welding tool shim to compensate CC depth with respect to nominal.

Set Welding Tool height so that the displacement sensor is facing the pipe joint.
8. Measure radial misalignment (eccentricity) with respect to the SB stub. For this, the Zlinear guide and the built-in rotation of the welding tool should be used.

Apply 2-ton pulling force (20 kN)12. Measure misalignment between the joint sides. If the misalignment is not acceptable, trywith a higher pulling force (up to 30 kN)Welding13.

So far, the SBTB has been presented in the context of SB#15. However, as can be seen in thetable below, the angle between the CC and the CB axes varies significantly from one SB toanother, meaning that the shim angles will have to vary with themdeg mm1 0 79.82 0 79.83 0 79.84 0 79.85 0 79.86 1.1 93.57 26.8 77.28 16.3 MONOAX9 4.4 86.110 5.8 69.311C 1.8 148.211ECH 1.8 148.211S 1.8 155.812 5.0 145.513 5.2 137.614 6.7 181.515 4.8 189.416 5.9 117.817 4.2 12418 0 MONOAX14 NB 6.7 128.914 NC(V) 6.7 19014 ND(V) 6.8 172.214 NDL 6.7 172.214 NE 6.7 164.815 NB 4.8 13615 NC(V) 5.6 191.115 ND MONOAX15 NDL MONOAX15 NDV MONOAX15 NE 5.6 18315 ST 4.7 159.316 ST 5.9 87.718 ANU 0 MONOAX18 E 0 MONOAXAngle between CB& CC (or MC)Distance between CCand SB hole opening SBTable 8 CC position and alignment variants [2]The most extreme case is SB#7, where the tilt of the CC is 26.8 degrees. In order to cope withthis large angle, the SBTB will have to be reconfigured with a new Tool Changer holder moduleas wellSUPPLYPage 39 of 106Figure 41 SBTB for SB#7When it comes to cutting, saw cutters produce swarf that needs to be removed from the SB tothe best possible extent. A vacuum channel should be included in the cutting tool design, and asocket to connect the suction hose to. On the SBTB, a compact vacuum cleaner should be locatedsomewhere, with current feed from the Embedded Controller. From the vacuum cleaner, asuction hose should be connected to the cutting tool socket on its stationary part. The vacuumcleaner should be detachable from the SBTB by hand, because it is only needed for cutting toolsFigure 42 Proposal for vacuum cleaner location on the SBTB4.2.6 Coaxial Connector Welding ToolThe purpose of the Coaxial Connector Welding Tool is to make the welded connection betweenthe SB stub and the CC. The CCWT has CC pulling function to position it for welding with theSB stub, measurement function for checking the groove fit-up, and the welding function for CCand SB stubDesign descriptionThe main functions and corresponding sub-systems of the CCWT are as follows:SUPPLYPage 40 of 106 Tool heado Enclosure for rotation and translation (Z drive) mechanismso Interface with SBTB TFUo Cable managemento Zero G arm interface Pulling mechanismo 2 ton (extendable to 3 ton) pulling force on CC to engage with SB stub Displacement sensoro Measurement of misalignment between the axes of the SB hole and the CC Welding torch mechanismo Full penetration weld between SB pipe stub and Coaxial Connector (ID ø101 mm,thickness 2.5 mm)o AVC mechanismo Extendable welding torch (ø70 mm → ø101 mm)o Feed of inert gas to welding areaThe previous section already provided some insight to the Coaxial Connector Welding Tool(CCWT) concept, as it was used as an example for the SBTBThe CCWT will have multiple functionalities to achieve a successful weld between the CC andSB pipe stub. The CCWT has CC pulling function to position it for welding with the SB stub,measurement function for checking the groove fit-up, and the welding function for CC and SBstubFigure 43 Cross-section of the SB at the CC positionWhen the SB is installed to the VV, the CC will not be in its final position showed in Figure 43,but it will be pushed down towards the VV by the SB. Pulling force will need to be applied inorder to engage the CC with the SB tapered hole and then with the Helicoflex seals (see Figure5).
This force is to be exerted by a pulling mechanism integrated into the CCWT design. Due to theexpected spring-back effects, the pulling force should be applied during the whole weldingprocess, which means that when the welding tool rotates, it must rotate around the stationaryinner pulling mechanismThe CCWT should also comprise a displacement sensor as pipe alignment measurement system.
This sensor should be axially offset with respect to the welding torch, which means that for thedistance measurements the CCWT will have to be moved axially. The purpose of thedisplacement sensor is to provide radial misalignment measurement before pulling to setcoaxiality with the SBTB XY table and to make a full 360-degree scan of the pipe joint beforeSUPPLYPage 41 of 106and after welding. Before welding, the aim is to check the residual gap and step between the CCand the SB stub. If the misalignment is out of range, the pulling force should be raised, andmeasurement should be repeated. After welding, another measurement must be made, but nowthe aim is to do a quick scan to see that the weld bead has been formed properly, before properNDT testingFigure 44 Overview of the CCWT main componentsAs the CCWT has to pass the SB hole opening (diam. 70 mm), the outside diameter of the CCWTis limited. When the welding torch is in position and aligned with the pipe joint, it will be 15-20mm away from the pipe wall. To cross this gap, the welding torch must be moved radially by anextension mechanism to set the required stand-off distance (see bottom right corner of Figure44). In addition to this extension mechanism, an Arc Voltage Control system should be integratedinto the CCWT head design, which can move the torch in-out radially in a controller mannerduring the welding processAs the welding torch and displacement sensor will move relative to the TFU, cabling will haveto follow. Cable management for these should be taken care of within the enclosed volume ofthe CCWTThe pulling rod of the CCWT should connect to the internal bottom slot of the CC. It should benoted that these internal slots, are not aligned angularly with the SB, meaning that it should bechecked first by the operator how they are aligned and then the pulling rod tip will have topositioned accordingly.
The pulling rod should be threaded (see Figure 45), and preload should be applied by simplytorquing a nut, thus converting rotational torque into a pulling force. The rod end, however,should have bolt head feature to prevent rotation after aligned with the MC bottom slotsA load cell should provide force feedback from the pulling rod preload. This is to be placedbelow the nut, as shown in Figure 45SUPPLYPage 42 of 106Figure 45 Pulling rod head componentsProcess and interface descriptionThe CCWT will be brought into the vessel via the TSR (see section 4.2.20). Then, an operatoron the IVTC Nacelle will use the zero G arm to pick the CCWT from the TSR and move it to theSBTB already mounted on the target SB. The CCWT will be locked to the TFU of the SBTB viaclamps.
4.2.7 Coaxial Connector Cutting ToolThe purpose of the Coaxial Connector Cutting Tool is to cut to connection between the SB stuband the CCDesign descriptionThe main functions and corresponding sub-systems of the CCCT are as follows: Tool heado Enclosure for rotation and swage cutter feed mechanismso Interface with SBTB TFUo Cable managemento Zero G arm interface Tool alignment mechanismo Fix and align the Tool axis to the CC Cuttero Double swage cuttero Radial feed mechanism Accessory: Pipe Facing ToolThe context is the same for the Coaxial Connector Cutting Tool (CCCT) as for the CCWT (seeFigure 43). The pipes are to be cut with a double swage cutter cutting head with radial feed. Apipe alignment mechanism should provide stabilization and fixing at the head of the tool, makinguse of the inner pipe of the CCThe CCCT must pass the diam. 70 mm opening of the SB, so the swage blades will have to bemounted on a mechanism that can extend and retract them radiallyA conceptual design has already been developed for the CCCT, which covers some of thefunctions mentioned aboveSUPPLYPage 43 of 106Figure 46 CCCT concept designFigure 47 Cutting head of the CCCT concept designThe concept design presented in the figures above and has a few points, where it does not meetthe requirements listed in Ref. [1] yet. The missing points are: The CCCT should be made compatible with as many SB designs as possible. For this,the smaller diameter end part of the tool must be longer, to be able to cover the varyingdistances between the SB-CC joint and the SB opening presented in Table 8 and Figure43 One requirement in [1] is to constantly monitor the cutting force/torque required toachieve the preset feed rate. It is preferable that the radial feed of swage blades be motor-driven. This is intended to detect when the cutting is complete Greased parts, such as bearings and gears, should be enclosed in sealed volumes. Theconcept design must be modified accordinglySUPPLYPage 44 of 106As an accessory to the CCCT a handheld Pipe Facing Tool is to be developed to provide a surfacethat is good enough for rewelding procedures. The exact required surface quality should bedefined by testingFigure 48 Example of a Pipe Facing ToolProcess and interface descriptionThe CCCT will be brought into the vessel via the TSR (see section 4.2.20). Then, an operator onthe IVTC Nacelle will use the zero G arm to pick the CCCT from the TSR and move it to theSBTB already mounted on the target SB. The CCCT will be locked to the TFU of the SBTB viaclamps.
When the cutting operation is complete, the tool and then the Tool Base are taken away. TheShield Block is then removed from the vessel via the BMTS.
After this, when the area around the CC is free, an operator can come with the Nacelle to use thePipe Facing Tool to produce a proper cut surface for rewelding operations. The operator will settemporary protections beforehand, to avoid spreading swarf and will vacuum out everythingafterwards4.2.8 Monoaxial Connector Pulling ToolThe purpose of the Monoaxial Connector Pulling Tool is to pull the MC into place to engagewith the SBDesign descriptionThe main functions and corresponding sub-systems of the MCPT are as follows: Tool heado Enclosure for pulling mechanismo Interface with SBTB and 15NDTB TFUo Cable managemento Zero G arm interface Shell designo To accommodate MCAMT and MCWT Pulling lock endo Interacting with the MC slot to apply the pulling forceo 2 ton (extendable to 3 ton) pulling force on MC to engage with SB stubSUPPLYPage 45 of 106When it comes to welding/cutting the Monoaxial Connectors, the environment is different fromthat of the CC. The pipes are smaller in diameter, which calls for more compact designsFigure 49 MC positions on SB#8 (left) and #18 (right)In addition to having 2 MC connections instead of one CC, SB#8 has a large tilt angle betweenthe MC and the CB axes (see Table 8). Therefore, the SBTB concept design has been adapted tothis SB, to show that with an appropriate shim design the same equipment can be used (see Figure54)Just like the CC, the MC needs to be pulled continuously during welding. The force needed isthe same as in the case of the CCWT, 30 kN at the maximum. Due to the confined space relatedto the MC configuration (see Figure 59), the structure of the MCPT should be the inverse of theCCWT, in the sense that instead of the stationary central pulling rod the MCPT should have ahollow cylinder that can apply the pulling load on the locking mechanism at the tip and at thesame time it should accommodate the MCAMT and MCWT tools.
Figure 50 MCPT concept designAs the MCAMT and MCWT needs a window through the cylinder of the MCPT for sensor lightand welding torch respectively, the MCPT cylinder will have to rotate with the tools so that thewindow is always aligned with the sensor or torch. However, the locking tip has to be stationary,which means that the MCPT cylinder should be able to rotate freely with respect to the lockingmechanism.
SUPPLYPage 46 of 106Figure 51 Locking mechanism tip of the MCPTIn the concept design presented above the locking mechanism is engaged with the MC slot viaa lock engagement key, which is reaching down the MCPT cylinder to be inserted into the slotof the lock. Stoppers machined into the lock will provide a solid hard stop for the operator toknow when the lock is fully engaged. The lock engagement key is manually operated and shouldbe removed when the lock is engaged to make space for toolsThe lock concept presented in Figure 51 is only one possible solution. Another solution is shownbelow, where instead of the 3 M6 bolts, one central thread transfers the pulling load to the lockingfeature at the bottomFigure 52 Alternative concept for the locking mechanism of the MCPTAs discussed above, the MCPT will have to rotate with the MCAMT and MCWT. This meansthat the rotation drive can be integrated into the Tool or the MCPT as well. In the former casethe MCPT mechanism should only exert the pulling force, and the top flange (see Figure 50 andFigure 53) of the cylinder should be mounted on bearings to be able to rotate with respect to thepulling mechanism. In the latter case, the MCPT mechanism should pull and rotate the cylinderflange at the same time.
The allocated space for the MCPT mechanism is shown in the figure below. This is only andapproximation, the occupied space will naturally depend on if the drive mechanism will beSUPPLYPage 47 of 106needed or not. If it will be part of the MCPT, it can claim more space at the expense of theMCWT and MCAMT, which will then be simplerFigure 53 MCPT shown in the context of SB #8 with the SBTB structureThe advantage of using the MCPT as a carrier for the MCAMT and MCWT is that only theMCPT will have to have shims, the tools attached to it do not. Since the axial alignment of theMCAMT and MCWT with the MC joint will have to be done via their internal longitudinal drive,the Z linear guide of the Tool Base TFU will be redundant in this case. However, it can help tocompensate for the different MC depths, thus reducing the number of MCPT shim variantsProcess and interface descriptionThe MCPT will be brought into the vessel via the TSR (see section 4.2.20). Then, an operator onthe IVTC Nacelle will use the zero G arm to pick the MCPT from the TSR and move it to theSBTB/15NDTB already mounted on the target SB. The MCPT will be locked to the TFU of theTool Base via clampsThe SBTB, already presented in section 4.2.5 should be used in this case as well. It can be seenin Table 8 that only the 8th and 18th Shield Block rows have Monoaxial Connectors (and 15NDSBs, but they have so special shape that they need a dedicated Tool Base (discussed later))SUPPLYPage 48 of 106Figure 54 SBTB configured for SB#8In the figure above it is shown how the SBTB needs to be reconfigured to be compatible withMC welding. In the case of SB#8, one of the two MC access holes does not coincide with the SBfront face symmetry plane (left MC in Figure 49). For the MC with an offset, another TFUconnection position must be used on the top of the shim (bottom right textbox in Figure 54)Figure 55 TFU placed in an offset position on the shim to align with the out-of-line MC position on SB#8Due to the need for reconfiguration between the two MCs, the welding of these SB rows (andthe 3 irregular 15ND blocks) must be done in two turns, welding one of the MCs in one turn forall SBs in the target row, reconfigure and then weld the second MC in another turnThe 15NDTB does not have a concept design yet, but it should have a TFU mechanism similarto that of the SBTB and the functions should be the same. On the 15ND the MC joint positionsare located much deeper (see Figure 78) from the surface of the Shield Block and the 15NDTBdesign will have to take this into account. Nonetheless, it is possible to make the MCPT (andMCAMT, MCWT) even longer, if neededSUPPLYPage 49 of 106Figure 56 MCPT shown in the context of SB #8 with the SBTB structure4.2.9 Monoaxial Connector Alignment Measurement ToolThe aim of the Monoaxial Connector Alignment Measurement Tool (MCAMT) is to align theTFU of the SBTB (and 15NTB) to be coaxial with the SB hole for the pipe welding to beperformed correctly. Design descriptionThe main functions and corresponding sub-systems of the MCAMT are as follows: Tool heado Enclosure for axial drive mechanismo Interface with MCPTo Cable managemento Zero G arm interface Displacement measuremento Measurement of misalignment between SB hole and MCThe MCAMT concept design can be seen in the figures belowFigure 57 MACMT concept designSUPPLYPage 50 of 106It can be seen in the figure above that the MCAMT does not need a shim, because it is mountedon the MCPT, which is already aligned axially with the MC joint before pulling. The MCAMTshould be able move axially with respect to the MCPT to perform scans and to axially align itselfwith the pipe joint. MCAMT should be equipped with a mechanism to centre itself relative tothe inner cylinder of MCPTFigure 58 MCAMT head unit conceptProcess and interface descriptionThe MCAMT will be brought into the vessel via the TSR (see section 4.2.20). Then, an operatoron the IVTC Nacelle will use the zero G arm to pick the MCAMT from the TSR and move it tothe SBTB/15NDTB already mounted on the target SB. The MCAMT will be locked to the MCPTtangentially but will be able to move axially with respect to itThe alignment of the TFU should be done in the following order:1. Coarse alignment of the TFU with respect to the SB access hole by operator visual check.
Note: The SBTB TFU could have engravings for the expected X and Y positions of theMC axis to be aligned with indicators fixed to the TFU XY table2. Assembly of MCPT onto the Tool Base TFU (select appropriate shim between the two)3. Engagement of the MCPT locking mechanism with the MC bottom slot with the use ofthe lock engagement key. Remove lock engagement key. (see Figure 50)4. Insertion and fixing of MCAMT into the MCPT.
5. Scan SB hole to check radial misalignment6. Fine alignment of the TFU to match MCAMT axis with SB hole axis7. Lower MCAMT head via its internal axial drive to be aligned with the MC pipe joint8. Apply pulling force with the MCPT to pull the MC into position9. Scan MC-SB pipe joint area to check residual gap and step10. If the misalignment is acceptable, remove MCAMT and continue with MCWT to performthe welding. If the misalignment is not acceptable, repeat from step 9 with a larger pullingforce4.2.10Monoaxial Connector Welding ToolThe Monoaxial Connector Welding Tool (MCWT) will be used to connect MCs to the SB pipestub. The environment can be seen in the figure below for SB#8SUPPLYPage 51 of 106Design descriptionThe main functions and corresponding sub-systems of the MCWT are as follows: Tool heado Enclosure for axial drive mechanismo Interface with MCPTo Cable managemento Zero G arm interface Welding torch mechanismo Full penetration weld between SB pipe stub and Monoaxial Connector (ID ø43.72mm, thickness 2.5 mm)o AVC mechanismo Feed of inert gas to welding areaFigure 59 The joint to be connected is an ID 43.72 pipe with 2.5 mm thicknessThe TFUs might be different for the FW and SB Tool Bases but the welding tool tip design andthe functions of the tool should be the same, except for the pipe alignment mechanism, which isneeded to align the FW pipe with the Flow Separator, but not needed for the MCThus, the MCWT should be a welding torch that has the AVC system integrated into either thewelding head or the rear mechanism. In the latter case the full length of the MCWT will bemoved by the AVC. After the tool is inserted into the MCPT cylinder this AVC system or aseparate mechanism should be used to approach the joint with the welding torch.
Since alignment is done by the MCAMT, the MCWT will not have a displacement sensorThe concept design for the MCWT is shown in the figure below.
SUPPLYPage 52 of 106Figure 60 MCWT conceptThe MCWT design should allow welding to be performed in 3 different depths, due to possiblerewelding operations (see Figure 61). However, the MCWT does not necessarily need an axialdrive, because no active axial adjustment is foreseen during the welding operations. So, there are2 options to cope with the 3 different welding positions:1. The MCWT has axial drive, and axial position is adjusted for the 1st, 2nd or 3rdweld2. There is a shim between the MCWT and MCPT. The shim variations are:1. 14 mm for 1st weld2. 7 mm for 2nd weld3. No shim for 3rd weldProcess and interface descriptionThe MCWT will be brought into the vessel via the TSR (see section 4.2.20). Then, an operatoron the IVTC Nacelle will use the zero G arm to pick the MCWT from the TSR and move it tothe SBTB/15NDTB already mounted on the target SB. The MCWT will be locked to the MCPTtangentially but will be able to move axially with respect to it4.2.11Monoaxial Connector Cutting ToolThe aim of the Monoaxial Connector Cutting Tool (MCCT) is to cut the welded joint betweenthe MC and the SB pipe (see Figure 59). For this, a double swage cutter should be used.
Design descriptionThe main functions and corresponding sub-systems of the MCCT are as follows: Tool heado Enclosure for rotation and swage cutter feed mechanismso Interface with SBTB and 15NDTB TFUo Cable managemento Zero G arm interface Tool alignment mechanismo Align the Tool axis with the SB hole Cuttero Double swage cuttero Radial feed mechanism Accessory: Pipe Facing ToolSUPPLYPage 53 of 106In case of a failed weld, the MC-SB connection is to be cut on the MC side, which means thatthe MC pipe stub will become shorter with each cutFigure 61 Monoaxial Connector cutting positionsThe MC shortening must be compensated on the SB side. For a repair, the pipe section with thefailed weld will be cut off and a new pipe section will be welded in its place. This new pipe willhave to be longer by the cut off length.
It is very important that the cut surface of the MC should be appropriate for rewelding operations.
As the swage cutters do not provide a clean-cut profile, a Pipe Facing Tool should be used afterthe Shield Block is removed (see Figure 48). The Pipe Facing Tool used for CC and MC can bethe same tool if its adjustment range allowsFigure 62 Proposal for FW pipe cutting that should be adopted for MC cuttingThe proposal shown in the figure above must be modified to match the MC case, but the functionsshould be similar: Cutters actuated by a central shaft.
Rollers providing centralization and rigidity during cutting. However, in the MC case,this roller mechanism should use the SB pipe for centralization, so the size of the structureneeds to be reducedSUPPLYPage 54 of 106Due to the fact that the alignment is done by the MCAMT, the MCCT will not have adisplacement sensor. Axial positioning of the swage blades should rely on precisionmanufacturing and dimensional inspection of the Tools, meaning that because of the accuratelyknown distances between the TFU and cutters (for MCCT) and also the TFU and displacementsensor (for MCAMT), the cutters will already be in position when installed after the MCAMTProcess and interface descriptionThe MCCT will be brought into the vessel via the TSR (see section 4.2.20). Then, an operatoron the IVTC Nacelle will use the zero G arm to pick the MCCT from the TSR and move it to theSBTB already mounted on the target SB. The MCCT will be locked to the TFU of the SBTB viaclamps.
When the cutting operation is complete, the tool and then the Tool Base are taken away. TheShield Block is then removed from the vessel via the BMTS.
After this, when the area around the MC is free, an operator can come with the Nacelle to usethe Pipe Facing Tool to produce a proper cut surface for rewelding operations. The operator willset temporary protections beforehand, to avoid spreading swarf and will vacuum out everythingafterwards4.2.12End Cap Handling ToolThe purpose of the End Cap Handling Tool is to handle ECsDesign descriptionThe main functions and corresponding sub-systems of the ECHT are as follows: Handle Keyo 17 mm hexagon keyo Passive Holding SystemOn each Shield Block with Monoaxial Connectors, there is one (row #8 and row #18) or two(15ND, 15NDA and 15NDB) SB access hole(s) that must be cappedThe sole purpose of the End Cap Handling Tool (ECHT) is to pick an End Cap and engage itwith the thread in the SB access hole for one of the MCsFigure 63 MC access holes with End Caps on SB #8 and #18SUPPLYPage 55 of 106Figure 64 MC access holes with End Caps on SB #15ND (15NDA and 15NDB are similar)Figure 65 End Cap and joint geometryThe relevant dimensions of the End Cap can be seen in the figure above. The thickness to bewelded is, again, 2.5 mm, but the other dimensions of the joint are unique to the End CapThe ECHT should be a fully manual tool, a holding stick, with the 17 mm hexagon socket andPHS on one end and a handling feature on the other end.
Process and interface descriptionAn operator should be able to insert the PHS male side at the tip of the ECHT into the PHS socketon an End Cap, thus grabbing one from a tray or box to be located on the Nacelle. Using theECHT the operator will then position the EC into the access hole on the target SB and screw itinto the SB hole thread until the visible surface of the EC is completely flush with the SBshoulder. After reaching the final position and feeling resistance, the EC should by tightened byhand (around 15Nm), to temporarily secure it to the SB before welding operationsIn order not to lose alignment with the MC hole, the SBTB (or 15NDTB) has to stay in place forEC welding (and cutting possibly), which means that the ECHT will have to reach down the TFUto reach positionSUPPLYPage 56 of 106Figure 66 ECHT reaching down through the SBTB TFU (already aligned with the MC of SB#8) to engage with the End CapBy keeping alignment, time and effort can be saved between MC and EC welding. This meansthat MC and EC welding (and all related activities (pulling, EC placement, cutting)) are linkedby alignment and should be done sequentially.
4.2.13End Cap Welding ToolThe End Cap Welding Tool (ECWT) will be used to connect ECs to the SB lips.
Design descriptionThe main functions and corresponding sub-systems of the ECWT are as follows: Tool heado Enclosure for rotation mechanismo Interface with SBTB and 15NDTB TFUo Cable managemento Zero G arm interface Welding torch mechanismo Full penetration weld between SB lip and End Cap (thickness 2.5 mm)o AVC mechanismo Feed of inert gas to welding areaGiven that after welding the MC, the SBTB (or 15NDTB) TFU is already aligned with the SBhole, there is no alignment to be done before the End Cap Welding Tool (ECWT) is attached.
The counterbore of the SB is 55 mm in diameter, the outer diameter of the EC is ~51.7 mm. Thisposes relatively tight space constraints to the design of the ECWT. The torch cannot beperpendicular to the EC face, it must be tilted at an angle, to provide space for the fixation of thetungsten electrode and sufficient volume around the tungsten to be filled with shielding gas, etc.
A cross-section of this area of the SB is given in the figure below with relevant dimensionsSUPPLYPage 57 of 106Figure 67 Cross-section of the SB at the End Cap position [12]To determine the maximum outer diameter of the tool, the followings must be considered: The diam. 55 mm section between the lips of subsequent ECs Using the MCAMT, a coaxiality of 0.1 mm can be set between the TFU and the SB holeTo provide additional centring for the tool, the PHS socket may be used, by having a centringrod at the tip. However, this is not expected to be needed, because the tool alignment providedby the MCAMT beforehand is expected to be fine enough for the built-in AVC system of theECWT to cope with slight residual misalignmentsFigure 68 Overview of the ECWT concept (showing an old SB design, where the hole diameter is the same between the lips andat the opening)For axial positioning, either the centring shaft or the front face of the End Cap can be used, whichmeans that the TFU should gently be lowered until a hard stop and then fixed. This will result ina precisely aligned welding torchProcess and interface descriptionThe ECWT will be brought into the vessel via the TSR (see section 4.2.20). Then, an operatoron the IVTC Nacelle will use the zero G arm to pick the ECWT from the TSR and move it to theSBTB already mounted on the target SB. The ECWT will be locked to the TFU of the SBTB viaclamps.
4.2.14End Cap Cutting ToolThe aim of the End Cap Cutting Tool (ECCT) is to cut the welded joint between the EC and theSB lip. For this, a hole saw cutter should be used.
Design descriptionSUPPLYPage 58 of 106The main functions and corresponding sub-systems of the ECCT are as follows: Tool heado Enclosure for rotation and hole saw feed mechanismso Interface with SBTB and 15NDTB TFUo Cable managemento Zero G arm interface Tool alignment mechanismo Align the Tool axis with the EC Cuttero Hole sawo Axial feed mechanismIn the case of a failed weld, the End Cap must be removed by cutting. The End Cap Cutting Tool(ECCT) should use a hole saw to make the cut. In this case, this seems to be the only possibility,due to the tight space between the weld and the SB openingThe hole saw will inherently generate swarf, which needs to be removed by a vacuum suctionhose integrated into the ECCT designRegarding the hole saw, its outer diameter should be at least 52 mm, to be able to pass throughthe created hole with a new EC easily. It should be as big in diameter as possible but should keepa small stand-off distance from the inside the diameter of the counterbore.
Figure 69 Concept design of the ECCTThe hole saw outside diameter has a lower and an upper limitation. The lower is that the createdhole should be big enough for a second EC to pass through. The upper limitation has to do withthe fact that the hole diameter between subsequent EC lips is smaller than that of the frontcounterbore (see Figure 67). So, the hole saw of the ECCT will need to be smaller than thisdiameter, taking into account the runout of the saw with respect to the SB hole axisProcess and interface descriptionThe ECCT will be brought into the vessel via the TSR (see section 4.2.20). Then, an operator onthe IVTC Nacelle will use the zero G arm to pick the ECCT from the TSR and move it to theSBTB already mounted on the target SB. The ECCT will be locked to the TFU of the SBTB viaclamps.
4.2.1515ND GripperThe 15NDG is an End Effector to grasp and transport the 15NDSUPPLYPage 59 of 106Design DescriptionThe main functions and corresponding sub-systems of the 15NDG are as follows: Two Gripping Cones to securely grasp the 15ND consists ofo One gripping cone with rigid connection to the Gripper Frame and the other conehaving floating featureo M24 bolts and bolt drive mechanism to tighten bolts to the 15ND threads Static Pressing pads to contact the surface of 15ND to support moment load ESB Wrench Unit to tighten ESB consisting of:o A motorized extension mechanism to insert the wrench into the ESB socket afterthe 15ND is placed on the Flexible Cartridgeso A motorized wrench rotation mechanism to apply torque to the ESBo Maraging steel wrenches with high yield strength to apply torque having PHS Gripper Frame as the structural housing of the device and equipped witho Two cameras for robot visiono Tool Changer interfaceo Embedded controllerFigure 70 15NDG conceptHaving two fixed conical fits with the Shield Block would overconstrain the interface and perfectconnection at both cones would be impossible to achieve. Thus, one of the cones should havefloating features that allow slight axial and radial play in order to have perfect connection at bothcone positionsThe 15NDG interface requires a measurement to accommodate slight misalignment. Althoughthe nominal hole positions of the 15ND series modules are identical, the three 15ND modulesmay have slight variations of hole position/surface profile within the design tolerances. If bothcones are rigidly fixed, the interface would become over-constrained, making perfect alignmentdifficult to achieve due to these slight variations. Such misalignment could lead to slightindentation and increased friction, obstructing the cones from being engaged/disengagedTo mitigate this risk, at least one of (A) or (B) needs to be implemented. Also, (C) should beimplemented for recovery. The primary option is (A) Floating Cone, and others are back-upoption in case that the option (A) does not work wellSUPPLYPage 60 of 106(A) Floating Cone (Making one of the cones adjustable to the slight hole variation):A floating cone has slight axial and radial play with respect to the 15NDG frame, as illustratedbelow. It remains floating prior to engagement with the 15ND module but becomes fixedbetween the frame and the 15ND body after bolt tightening, thereby functioning as a moment-supporting element.
Figure 71 One of the 15NDG cones that allows slight axial and radial self-alignment(B) Pre-adjusted Cone (Making one of the cones adjustable to the slight hole variation):Based on dimensional measurements of the actual fabricated 15ND modules, adjustments can bemade either by applying shim plates or by fabricating individually fitted cone blocks to preciselymatch the measured geometry. In this option, the cone is fixed prior to 15NDG deployment into the VV(C) Threaded hole feature + pressing bolt (Adding alternative recovery function):By implementing threaded hole feature + pressing bolt, the 15NDG can push against the 15NDsurface if the cone becomes stuck in the hole. The hole and bolt need to be accessible for theoperator and activated manually during a recovery scenarioThe 15NDG should also comprise an embedded wrench mechanism to apply temporary torqueon the one ESB (see Figure 73). If technically feasible, the 15NDG should apply final torque onthe ESBSince the 15ND series has the deepest ESB access hole (over 400mm), a long wrench would beneeded. To satisfy the Storage box size and general EE capacity constraints, it is allowed to useextension wrench for 15ND/15NDG caseThe 15NDG design should take into account the manual bolting of the side FCB (as explainedlater), because it must be performed whilst it is still attached to the 15ND block via the BAT,meaning that: 15NDG parts should not obstruct the bolting wrench access to the side FCB (see Figure76) The Tool Changer Tool Side on the 15NDG should be positioned so that when the BATis attached, it leaves sufficient space for the Nacelle to come from the left side (see Figure72).
The 15NDG only needs an embedded ESB wrench mechanism and does not need to have aembedded temporary fixation function for the FCB(s), but it is necessary to consider that theoperator can accessed from the left side by Nacelle for manually bolting the FCBSUPPLYPage 61 of 106Process and Interface DescriptionDue to the irregular shape of the 15ND Shield Blocks (3 in total), they cannot be handled by theSBG. The gripping features of the 15ND Gripper (15NDG) are not the same as those of the SBG.
There is still an ESB to be torqued but on the 15ND blocks there is no Central Bolt InsertFigure 72 15ND Shield Blocks in Sectors #2 and #3Figure 73 Interfaces of the 15ND Shield Blocks; 15NDG space reservation shown in transparent blueThe interfaces on 15ND Shield Blocks for RH operations can be seen in the figure above. The15NDG should make use of the conical RH interfaces located on the front surfaceFigure 74 Cross-section of the RH interface concept of the 15ND blockSUPPLYPage 62 of 106The worst-case posture for the 15ND handling is when it is held in a horizontal position (seeFigure 75) and the moment load on the General End Effector roller axis is the highest. Thisposture should be avoided, if possible, but the loads resulting from this should be taken intoaccount when designing the 15NDG.
Figure 75 15NDG worst-case handling posture of the 15NDGAs can be seen in Figure 76, the ESB is slightly outside the triangle of the 3 FCBs, which meansthat the temporary fixation (ESB torquing) can potentially result in an instable state of the SB.
Because of this, it is necessary to bolt the FCB that is farthest from the gripping cones(highlighted with red circle in Figure 76). This is a simple bolting operation with a preliminarytorque applied on the bolt (~50 Nm) performed by an operator on the Nacelle. For this, the boltingtool accessory of the FBT might be used (see section 4.2.2)Figure 76 15ND ES position and alignment with respect to the 3 FCBs; red circle shows the FCB to be bolted by hand4.2.1615ND Tool BaseThe 15ND Tool Base (15ND TB) is an End Effector, which provides a rigid interface betweenthe 15ND and the Tools used for pipe welding and cutting operationsDesign DescriptionThe main functions and corresponding sub-systems of the 15ND TB are as follows: Tool Fixing Unit (TFU) Provides alignment functionality for Toolso XY table for radial alignmento Z linear guide for axial positioning can be implemented either in the TFU or Tool Base Plate equipped witho Two Gripping cones lock the 15ND TB to the 15NDo Static Pads similar to 15NDGo Tool Changer interface to allow modular tool exchangeSUPPLYPage 63 of 106o Two cameras for robot visiono Embedded controllerProcess and Interface DescriptionAfter the 15ND block is placed and necessary bolts are temporary torqued, the followingoperations need to be performed on the 15NDs:1. Final torquing of the 3 FCB bolts2. Welding of MC joints3. Welding of End CapsAll these operations should be performed on the same 15ND Tool Base (15NDTB). In the 15NDcase, using the same Tool Base is possible because the number of repetitions is very low, and theaccess hole alignments are always the same.
For connection to the 15ND, the 15 NDTB should replicate the features of the 15NDG (coneswith embedded bolts and motors, passive pads) shown in Figure 70 and Figure 71To torque the FCBs of the 15ND blocks, no alignment function is needed because the orientationof the FCB axes is known and there is only 3. For torquing, the same torque multiplier + motorcombination can be used as in the case of the FBT (see section 4.2.2), only with different wrenchlengths (possibly). On the 15NDTB baseplate 3 mounting positions (aligned with the axis of theFCBs) for this torquing mechanism should be created, with the same locking and reactionfeatures as at the tip of the FBT arm.
Figure 77 Height difference between FCB and ESB at 15NDAs can be seen in Figure 77 above, there is a considerable height difference between the twoFCBs accessed from the front 15ND face (see Figure 73) and the one on the slanted face on theside. This height difference must be taken into account when planning the FCB torquing process.
A wrench extension may need to be fixed to the FBT wrench to reach the side FCB socket.
Like the SBTB, the 15NDTB should have a Tool Fixing Unit, which could be the same that isused on the SBTB. A precisely manufactured shim module should provide angular alignmentbetween the target SB hole and TFU axes. As the 2 MCs of this SB are parallel to each other,one shim design should be sufficient for all 15ND MCs. TFU XY table should be able to alignwith both MC holes without reconfiguration e.g. by extending the linear guides.
SUPPLYPage 64 of 106The tools to be used, and to be made compatible with the 15NDTB TFU are: MCAMT, MCPT,MCWT, MCCT, ECWT, ECCTThe operations are the same as for regular SBs, but it must be noted that in the 15ND case, theMC joint position is quite deep down the access hole, compared to row #8 or #18. Thus, dedicatedextensions may be needed for some of the tools listed above. This is to be assessed after the15NDTB (with TFU) has been designed and it is clear what is the difference in the distancebetween the TFU mounting position and MC joint in the 15NDTB and SBTB case.
Figure 78 MC joint depth in the context of 15ND Shield BlocksLike in the SBTB case, a compact vacuum cleaner should be located somewhere on the 15NDTB,with current feed from the Embedded Controller. From the vacuum cleaner, a suction hose shouldbe connected to the cutting tool socket on its stationary part. The vacuum cleaner should bedetachable from the 15NDTB by hand, because it is only needed for cutting tools4.2.17First Wall GripperThe aim of the First Wall Gripper (FWG) is to pick First Wall or Temporary First Wall unitsfrom the BMTS and transfer them to their target location in-vessel. The FWG should also applytemporary torque to the Central Bolt of the FWFrom all the tools in the list of Table 1, the First Wall Gripper design has the highest maturity atthe time of writing of this document. This section is mostly a presentation of the already definedFWG features. However, some aspects of the FWG still need to be refined, these aspects are alsodefined hereDesign descriptionThe main functions of the FWG: Gripping finger interfaces to lock the FWG to the gripping holes of the TFW Active pad units on the sides of the gripping fingers to apply a preload on the grippinghooks, a preload that is large enough to secure the TFW firmly in any orientation withinthe vessel Linear sensor to monitor pad spring deflection Linear drive units to move the gripping fingers towards and away from the central wrenchin order to adjust the finger positions to the target TFWSUPPLYPage 65 of 106 Central wrench mechanism with embeddedo automatic extension mechanism to engage with the socket of the TFW Central Boltafter the TFW has been placed onto the target SB by the BATo torquing mechanism that can screw the Central Bolt into the insert of the SB until itis fully engaged and apply temporary torque Two cameras for robot vision Tool Changer Tool Side at the back of the FWG for connection to the BAT Embedded controllerFigure 79 First Wall Gripper main functionsProcess and interface descriptionAs shown in the figure above, the wrench goes through the FWG structure, and the Tool ChangerTool side. In order to determine what is the length of the wrench section that sticks out, theinternal structure of the FWG needs to be looked atFigure 80 SB#15 will require the longest extension of the FWG wrench [2]The longest wrench stroke is needed for FW15, where the distance between the gripping interfaceand the Central Bolt socket is the biggest (213 mm) in the fully bolted position. The CB wrenchlength needs to be less than the available height of 665 mm when FWG is placed in the StorageBox with tips of the gripping fingers and the CB wrench alignedSUPPLYPage 66 of 106Figure 81 FWG engaged with SB#15;defining the wrench extension strokeThe stroke of the wrench extension should be over 184 mm. If we look into the internal structureof the FWG, we can see how much of the wrench length will actually stick out of the FWG bodyFigure 82 Defining the FWG wrench rear extension lengthWith 190 mm wrench extension length, the Tool Changer master side completely covers theextension even in the full retracted position4.2.18First Wall Central Bolt Torquing End EffectorThe aim of the First Wall Central Bolt Torquing End Effector (FWCBT) is to apply the finaltorque to the CB of the TFW.
The FWCBT is an End Effector, because it should not have a fix connection to the TFW butshould remain connected to the BAT during operationDesign descriptionThe main functions and corresponding sub-systems the FWCBT are as follows: Wrench unit consists ofo Maraging steel wrench with high yield strength to withstand high torqueo Spherical seat to allow tilting wrencho Spring for engaging the wrench to the Central Bolt socketSUPPLYPage 67 of 106o Interface feature for Rotation drive unit Rotation drive mechanism to apply torque on the wrench unito Motor + harmonic drive + Gears for torque amplificationo Wrench compliance mechanism to accommodate the bolt misalignmento Torque meter to measure the torque applied to the wrench Base Plate equipped witho Two pins to engage FW gripping holes for receiving the reaction torqueo Adjusting feature for pins lateral positiono Passive pads to contact with the surface of the TFWo Tool Changer Tool Side for connection to the BAT General EEo Interface feature for connection the FWCBT to FWo Two cameras for robot visiono Embedded controllero Interface features to connect to BMTS mountsThere is an existing FWCBT concept design, which will have to be modified and the requiredmodifications to match the requirements in ([1]) are listed in this section.
Figure 83 Overview of the existing FWCBT concept (1/2)Figure 84 Overview of the existing FWCBT concept (2/2)SUPPLYPage 68 of 106The modules of the existing FWCBT concept and the required modifications are listed belowWrench mechanism:Due to the space constraints of the IVDT Storage Box (max. 665 mm height), the wrench itselfhas to be inserted into the wrench mechanism manually, when the FWCBT is already in positionon the target TFW, and the BAT is in a frozen position. This means that the wrench mechanismmust be open from the top for the wrench insertionPassive pad mechanism:This should be replaced with a passive spring-loaded pressing padGripping hook drive unit:This can be removed altogether. Since the BAT will carry the FWCBT all the time, no activegripping hook interface is requiredTool Changer interface:This interface should be placed in line with the two gripping interfaces. When positioned ontothe target TFW, the Tool Changer and BAT should not block the lateral sides of the FWCBT foreasy access with the wrenchPad:Spring loaded passive pads are to be included in the FWCBT to provide a softer interface withthe TFW front wall. The interfacing surface could remain the sameGripping finger:To be replaced with 2 pins. The pins should have a guiding feature (e.g. chamfer) at the end foreasy engagement with the gripping hole. The basic function of the 2 pins is to transfer the reactiontorque to the TFW. When the torque is applied, it is expected that the BAT will rotate slightly,because the torsional load coming from the torque exceeds the brakes’ performance. When thepins touch the gripping hole side walls, the reaction torque will be led to the TFW rather than theBAT armBaseplate:The baseplate should have oblong holes for mounting the static pins to be able to reconfigure theFWCBT for different TFW geometries manually outside the vesselWrench:Maraging steel wrench, long enough to cover all TFW geometries. The wrench head takes theform of the Straight type shown in [R17] Figure 2-4 (1), with a small clearance to permit minormisalignment with the socketIn addition to the list above, the FWCBT should include two cameras, one on each end (verticalwhen aligned with TFW), for robot visionWhilst the CBT Tool Base is held by the BAT, the TFW should remain accessible from one sidefor an operator to install the wrench with the zero G armEspecially on the inboard side and for BMs that are farther from the BAT deployment port it isvery difficult for the BAT to reach over the Tool Base to the “far side” to the Tool Changer butat the same time leave the “near side” free enough for the operator to approach.
SUPPLYPage 69 of 106Figure 85 Explanation of “far side” and “near side”. Near side: that side of the Tool Base, which is closer to the BATdeployment port; far side of the Tool Base: opposite from the BAT deployment portFigure 86 Accessibility of the CBT (replaced with FWG in this kinematic simulation) in row 2 from the side by an operator. Inthe case of row 2 it is not possible to approach the CBT from the left sideSUPPLYPage 70 of 106Figure 87 Accessibility of the CBT (replaced with FWG in this kinematic simulation) in row 18 from the side by an operator. Inthe case of row 18 it is not possible to approach the CBT from the left sideThe CBT was designed so that the Tool Changer is always approachable from the “near side”,no matter if the target TFW is left or right from the BAT deployment port. For this, there are 2possible solutions:1. The embedded controller and Tool Changer (handled as one unit) can be mounted onboth sides of the Tool Base during ex-vessel reconfiguration phase2. The CBT can be flipped around the CB axis by 180 degrees, meaning that the 2 pins willchange sides and the lower will become the upper and vice versa.
a) b)Figure 88 CBT design options to leave one side of the Tool Base free for the operator: a) Tool Changer can be mounted onboth sides; b) CBT can be flippedThe FWCBT is not going to be fixed to the Temporary First Wall during operation. So, in contrastwith other End Effectors, it does not inherently have the necessary interfaces on the opposite sidefrom the Tool Changer Tool Side to be fixed to BMTS mounts connecting it to the Storage Plate.
Thus, new interfaces will have to be developed for the transfer configuration on the BMTS.
Process and Interface DescriptionFrom Table 9, it can be calculated that the wrench will have to protrude into the FW by amaximum length of ~345 mm. Even though these numbers are applicable to final FWs, notnecessarily to TFWs (to be checked), so there could be a variation in the exact values, but thistable shows well the magnitude of the wrench extension. With a wrench protrusion of 345 mm,it is hardly possible to fit within the 665 mm high Storage Box if there is a heavy-duty wrenchSUPPLYPage 71 of 106mechanism on the top of the wrench. Thus, the FWCBT should be designed so that the wrenchcan be inserted into the mechanism manually by an operator on the Nacelle.

The services to be provided are:Power to the embedded controller Power to the Embedded Controller of the End Effector Power to the TIG welding torch Communications (feedback and control) Compressed air Shielding gasBTSE consists of following equipment: TSS (Tooling Services Skid): A system that provides necessary utilities such as TIGwelding power, shielding gas, and compressed air for tooling operations inside thevacuum vessel.
UHS (Umbilical Handling System): A mechanism that manages and guides theumbilical from the TSS to the tools, ensuring proper routing and support inside thevacuum vessel.

The procedure for applying backing gas to the welding points and its technicalrequirements are subjects of current discussion and are intended to be included in the nextrevisionA Tooling Services Skid (TSS) should include TIG welding equipment (power supply andshielding gas) outside the vessel. Only power and communication should be fed to the TSS fromthe power distribution box on the Port Cell wall of level L1, to which the TSS should be close.

This comes from anestimation, considering a “worst-case” scenario, where the umbilical is led from the EP entranceto the farthest BM position on the inboard side (see Figure 92 below). Based on this estimation,the needed length is ~20 m, but a safety margin of 1.5 is appliedFigure 92 Estimated maximum needed length of umbilicalThe coil is to be manually operated and should not have slip rings but a fixed connector whichrotates with the coil. When the needed amount of umbilical is uncoiled and the coil is fixed withbrakes, it should be possible to connect the welding skid umbilical to the connector of the coil inany random angular position it is in.

The Umbilical Temporary Clamp (UTC) should be able to connect to the VV, a SB or aTFW. Using the ESB threads seems straightforward, because they are the same M24 thread inall 3 cases. The M24 thread does not exist in the TFW design at the moment, but it will be addedas a feature to its baseplate designThe end of the umbilical should connect to one of the Tool Changer connectors, to which itshould be fixed firmly. The connector and fixing mechanism of the umbilical should be manualSUPPLYPage 76 of 106Figure 96 Installation of in-vessel umbilicalFigure 97 In-vessel umbilical clampingFigure 98 End Effector cablingSUPPLYPage 77 of 106Figure 99 Operation configurationWhen the End Effector is operating, an operator on a nearby Nacelle (see Figure 99) shouldcontrol processes from an HMI unit. The connection between the Embedded Controller and theHMI should be made via a cordless connection (e.g. Wi-Fi). The Embedded Controller shouldalso have connection to the RH control room via the umbilical4.2.20In-Vessel Tool StorageIn-Vessel tool storage options are necessary to enhance productivity by skipping the need totransport Tools from outside the vessel each time they are needed.
When a Tool is being used, it is important to assess, which other Tools will be needed insubsequent operations. Also, there are cases, where the Tools are used in combination tocomplete an operation. For example, MCAMT and MCWT are always used together, MCWTfollowing MCAMT.
Two options should be developed for in-vessel storage of the Blanket Assembly Tools. Firstly,a Tool Storage Rack (TSR) that is for a longer-term solution aimed at storing Tools on BM18independently from the BAT or the IVTC Nacelle (after having been fixed to one of the SBs orTFWs in row #18). Secondly, a Nacelle Tool Storage (NTS) should provide quick access to 2Tools for the operator in the NacelleThere can be multiple TSRs inside the vessel, for the operator to have the complete selection ofTools for the operations being performed (MC welding, CC welding, etc.). However, the Toolsthat are momentarily being used should be stored on the NTS, to have quick interchangeabilityThus, the TSR and NTS on the Nacelle will have to work in symbiosis, because the TSR willtransfer Tools into the VV via the IVDT and BAT, but the required ones will be placed via thezero G arm into the NTS for quick access. After a Tool is not needed anymore, it can be deposedback into the TSR and when a TSR is full of unused Tools, it can transfer them back to ex-vessel,where they can be taken away to long-term storage4.2.20.1 Tool Storage RackTSR is an End Effector, connected to one of the SBs or TFWs in row #18 and it should be ableto hold at least 4 Tools. The TSR should be made compatible with SBs and TFWs in row #18.
SUPPLYPage 78 of 106Since the target is always row #18, the TSR should only have 2 versions, one that is compatiblewith SB#18 and one that is compatible with TFW#18When the TSR connects to SB#18, it should have the same interfaces as the other EEs connectingto SBs. This is presented in section 4.2.1.1Figure 100 Concept design for Tool Storage Rack showing main functionsThe Tool example shown in the figure above is the CCWT concept design, which will probablybe the biggest and heaviest of all Tools. However, the TSR should be made compatible with allTools, either by adapting all Tools to a common TSR interface or by having different mountingplates or extensions to mount different Tools.
Figure 101 TSR concept design inside the Storage Box volume (2100x1310x665), Tool Changer Tool Side positioned in themidplane of the Storage Box, as prescribed in section 4.2.21In the case, where the TSR is attached to TFW#18, the gripping functions of the FWG should becopied, namely the active pads and gripping fingers (see section 4.2.17). For the TSR thepositioning function of the gripping fingers is not needed, they should be at a fixed positioncorresponding to the gripping hole positions on TFW#18SUPPLYPage 79 of 106Figure 102 TSR mounted on Shield Block 18, with 4 CCWTs4.2.20.2 Nacelle Tool StorageNTS is a structure that should be fixed to the IVTC Nacelle basket frame, and it should be ableto hold 2 Tools. The Tools stored in the NTS are directly accessible to the Operator, who can usethe zero G arm (also fixed to the Nacelle basket) to pull out or depose a ToolFigure 103 NTS concept designThe maximum payload of the Nacelle is 250 kg, which can be distributed as such: 1 operator in protective gear = 90 kg 2 Tools = 80 kg Zero G arm including elevating mechanism = 65 kg NTS system including fixations = 15 kgThus, the upper limit for the NTS, with all fittings and fixtures, is 15 kg. On the other hand, theupper limit for the zero G arm, with the elevator mechanism and fittings included is 65 kg.

Not only does the EE have to fit within the Storage Box of theIVDT (LxWxH: 2100x1310x665), but the Tool Side of the Tool Changer must be in such aposition on the EE that the BAT can approach it with the Master Side of the Tool Changer,engage, lock and lift the EE vertically, away from the EE mountsFor context, the dimensions of the IVDT Storage Box are shown belowFigure 105 Dimensions of the IVDT Storage Box (bigger)SUPPLYPage 81 of 106Figure 106 Side view of the IVDT Storage BoxFigure 107 Top view of the IVDT Storage BoxEach End Effector should have a custom designed mount, which is also in the scope of the currentTechnical Specification. The mounts should mimic the in-vessel features that the EE will connectto eventually. For example, the SBG mount should comprise a central hole with a M64 insertand it should also have side grooves for the keys of the SBG. This is further explained in section4.2.21.2. The component fixing method to the Storage Box will be the same as it is to the StoragePlate described in section 4.2.21.2The End Effectors to be designed cannot occupy the full volume of the Storage Box, becausethey have to be grabbed by the BAT and elevated to take them off of their custom mounts, whichare fixed to the bottom plate of the Storage Box.

In transfer configurationinside the Storage Box, the Tool Changer Tool Side must face upwards, but its axis can be tiltedtowards the central solenoid axis by a maximum of 29 degrees.
The Tool Changer should be positioned in the symmetry plane of the Storage Box. Its angularorientation should coincide with the 0-degree configuration of the General End Effector ToolRoll Axis, meaning that if we look at the Tool Changer Tool Side as a triangular shape, one ofits sides should face the port and the point of the triangular shape should face the inboard side ofthe tokamak (all Tool Changers are oriented so in the pictures below)Figure 108 Available volume for placement of the Tool Changer Tool Side (yellow) with respect to the space reservation of theEEs (transparent orange (includes yellow))Figure 109 Side view of the Tool Changer Tool Side placement volume (yellow) with respect to the space reservation of theEEs (transparent orange (includes yellow))SUPPLYPage 83 of 106Figure 110 Horizontal Tool Changer positioning option extreme configurations (red triangle highlights the angularorientation that coincides with the GEE Tool Roll Axis 0-degree configuration (explained before))Figure 111 Tool Changer Tool Side possible tilted configurationsTool Changer placement must be confirmed with IO for each EE, once the EE design is maturedenough, in order to perform a kinematic analysis with BAT VR tools4.2.21.2 Pre-SRO transfer contextDuring pre-SRO assembly all the Shield Blocks, Temporary First Walls and End Effectorsrelated to Blanket Assembly will be transferred into the vessel via the Blanket Module TransferSystem (BMTS)Functions of the BMTS:• All equipment will be mounted on a Storage Plate• Storage Plates are mounted on the BMTS carriage by the Through Port Transfer System(TPTS) in the Port Interspace• BMTS carriage delivers equipment from Interspace to In-Vessel via rails• At the end of the rails in the VV, the Storage Plate is tipped at 90 degrees to show thedelivered component to the Blanket Assembly Transporter (BAT)SUPPLYPage 84 of 106Figure 112 Overview of the BMTS conceptFigure 113 BMTS carriageThe Storage Plate concept will be shown through the example of SB9 and the SBG EEThe Storage Plate inherits the length and width of the baseplate Storage Box of the IVDT(presented in the previous section), 2100x1310 mm. The height restriction for the equipmentbeing transferred is the same as in the IVDT Storage Box context (see Figure 106), namely 665mm measured from the Storage Plate top surface. Also, the same restrictions apply to the spaceoccupied by the End Effector on the Storage Plate, as described in Figure 108. The thickness ofthe plate is 30 mm, and it is made out of stainless steel.
SUPPLYPage 85 of 106Figure 114 Overview of Storage Plate (in SB9 transfer config)As can be seen in the figure above, there will be Clamping Modules connected to the StoragePlate that facilitate quick connection of mounting modulesFigure 115 Presentation of clamping modules and interfacing features on the Storage PlateThese clamping modules are manufactured by Imao in Japan:https://www.imao.com/catalog/en/categoryviews/?categorycode=&category=$102107&page=1Two different sizes will be needed, and the bigger ones will only be needed for SB transfer, dueto their higher load capacity. The two selected modules are CP150-12063 and CP150-20100,with 15 and 35 kN clamping force respectivelySUPPLYPage 86 of 106Figure 116 Clamps and modules used for the attachment of SB9Figure 117 SB9 mounted on the Storage Plate via the modulesClamping module should always be oriented so on the Storage Plate that their sockets areperpendicular to the side of the Storage Plate (it does not matter which side), to be directlyaccessible for the operator to activate the clamping mechanism with a key. An electric drill willbe used for this with an extension wrench, to speed up the process. It is also important that themodules should not obstruct the access to any of the clamps in useSUPPLYPage 87 of 106Figure 118 Unobstructed direct access to clamping module sockets from the side of the Storage PlateOther Shield Block mounting modules should follow the same concept, using the bigger clampsfor the central ES pedestal and Central Key module, because in the vertical (tipped by BMTS)configuration, these are expected to carry the bulk of the SB weight.
Apart from the Shield Blocks, all the other equipment (EEs, TFWs) should be mounted on thesmaller type clamps. An example for SBG is shown belowFigure 119 SBG mounted on the Storage PlateIn order to reduce the number of clamp reconfigurations and to make the exchange of equipmentfaster, the clamp positions should follow a pattern (defined by JADA and subcontractors) on theStorage Plate, and the module designs should be adapted to these existing, patterned clampingpositions4.2.22Tool design constraintsThe Tools will be transferred into the VV and installed to a temporary tool storage on the IVTCNacelle. It will be possible to store 2 Tools at the same time on the Nacelle.
SUPPLYPage 88 of 106Figure 120 Temporary tool storage on the Nacelle. Normally, one Tool is stored, and one is in operation (left), but the NTSshould be able to store 2 Tools at the same time (right)Tools should be designed to be compatible with the NTS. Also, their design should allow beinglifted out of the storage vertically by the zero G arm. The zero G arm will be able to reach abovethe temporary storage for a Tool to be fixed to its tool interface.

TBC with supplierThe zero G arm connection will be realized with the use of a COTS Tool Changer interface.
Between the tool side of the COTS Tool Changer and the Tool itself, a roll joint is to be added.
This is to be further explained by IO when the model for this concept is consolidated, followingdiscussions on the feasibility with potential suppliers.
