The Telbot master-arm

Abstract

It is the weight lifter with maximum flexibility: The TELBOT provides high capacity and infinite rotary motion across all axes. Special jobs call for a special robot: The TELBOT from Waelischmiller Engineering. The TELBOT particularly shows its strength in places where human operators cannot work and heavy work has to be done. For example in the nuclear industry or chemical plants. The TELBOT is a multifunctional, modular and automated robotic system with unique characteristics: no cable in or on the TELBOT-arms for unlimited, fast and precise arm motions as well as maximum efficiency and highest comfort; smooth, sealed arm and joint bodies ensure maximum radiation resistance, making the TELBOT robot the perfect helper for the nuclear sector; the TELBOT can not only be utilised for an extremely long time but is also maintenance-free and easy to decontaminate. They therefore represent an investment that will still pay out in 30 years time; sophisticated engineering skill is apparent not least in the slim design with no loss of high capacity; tools can be remotely controlled with extreme precision and the high repeat accuracy and simple implementation of complex processes ensure trouble-free and intuitive operation; programmed motion sequences bring with them noticeably comfortable and speedy operation.

West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) Annual Site Environmental Report (ASER) for Calendar Year 2025

The report, prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy West Valley Demonstration Project office (DOE-WVDP), summarizes the environmental protection program at the WVDP for calendar year (CY) 2025. Monitoring and surveillance of the facilities used by the DOE are conducted to verify protection of public health and safety and the environment. The report is a key component of the DOE’s effort to keep the public informed of environmental conditions at the WVDP. The quality assurance protocols applied to the environmental monitoring program ensure the validity and accuracy of the monitoring data. In addition to demonstrating compliance with environmental laws, regulations, and directives, the evaluation of data collected in 2025 continued to indicate that WVDP activities posed no threat to public health or safety, or to the environment.
