At the start of 2021, Mechanika Ltd delivered a modular testbed structure to Veolia Nuclear Solutions (UK) Ltd, which provided a structural interface for a remote handling robot.
A modular testbed and mobile carriage were designed from first principles, using traditional static and dynamic hand calculations to underpin the concept prior to generating the design. Mechanika utilised their extensive design experience to provide a solution that was efficient, modular, easy to assemble and code compliant – capable of supporting over 1 tonne at 1 m from the rear of the strong-back frame.
