Abstract

In the upcoming fuel fabrication facility for Indian prototype fast breeder reactor (PFBR), automation of fuel fabrication is required to be done. Fuel pin carries spacer wire wrapped around its surface. This pin contains groove at bottom end plug for bead entanglement. Wire has to be welded on the bottom end plug. Crimping is done to restrain the tension in the wire before weld bead. The scope of this paper is to present development of an automated system required for remote handling of wire wrapping process. A prototype has been designed to simulate various processes of wire wrapping. This is an automated system for handling of pin and wire wrapping processes.
