Tong Manipulator TKHM-III
Tong Manipulator TKHM-III
A device for guaranteed safe, remote operation of nuclear power
Tong manipulators are used in facilities such as nuclear power research institutes and nuclear fuel offices.
They are especially used as handling equipment for the hot cells installed in nuclear fuel reprocessing plants and waste analysis facilities.
For handling equipment, generally a master-slave type for handling large-scale radioactive substances and a tong manipulator for handling small-scale radioactive substances are installed in parallel or in individually.
The TKHM-III model designed and manufactured by our company has the same functionality as a conventional tong manipulator, but at our customers' requests we made improvements such as improving their compatibility, especially for each lot, improving the airtightness of the airtight mechanism portion, and improving the accuracy of opening range of the fingertips.

Characteristic
- 1/ The structure consists of the fingertips, airtight mechanism portion, and a shaft portion, and it can be mounted and demounted with a single touch with an attachment/removal jig.
- 2/ We improved the accuracy of the main parts, based on conventional tong manipulator function, to improve its compatibility, the smooth operation and airtightness of the airtight mechanism portion, the opening range of the fingertips, and improved reliability through prevention of variation, etc.
- 3/ We can provide custom parts suited to your needs in terms of function, shape etc.
- 4/ In addition, you can also consult us about products with no airtight adapter, products with different shaft diameters (within a φ13 - φ15 range) etc.
Main applications
- ・Business classification: Nuclear power related facilities, reprocessing factories and analysis facilities, RI-handling facilities, hazardous chemical handling facilities
- ・Objective classification: handling equipment used for hot cells, handling equipment for handling dangerous chemical substances
