Water Jet System Platform that gives 5 axis adjustability of a 20,000 psi water jet cutter that is used to decontaminate scrap materials at a nuclear fuel plant. The platform is mounted on an air driven platform that gives 6' of travel side to side and 3' of front to back travel. The system had to be portable and able to withstand the water, chemicals and other environmental hazards that it could be exposed to. All controls were pneumatic and operated from the grips without the operator having to release the water jet's triggers. The triggers are controlled through a two-hand-no-tie-down system. A separate platform was built to allow the workpieces to be loaded away from the spray operator for safety and indexed in front of the sprayer. This device had a pneumatically adjustable table to increase the accessibility of the operator to all sides of the workpiece. |
