Tirant III
Tirant 3 ® is a mobile robot capable of operating inside the pipes to perform maintenance and inspection tasks.
Tirant 3 ® , has been developed in collaboration with Grupo Dominguis and is world wide patented. It is used to spread liquid metal inside tube pipes of nuclear power plants.
The work performed by the robot was previously done by human operators in really harsh conditions. The melted metal was projected by hand, in reduced diameter tubes, where the operator had to wear the protection clothes, gloves, glasses, or even autonomous breathing equipment.
Tirant 3 ® is the first generation of robots able to substitute humans in this kind of task. Grupo Dominguis has successfully realized metallizing services using this robot in several nuclear power plants with excellent results.
The robot can modify its diameter to adapt automatically to the inputs and subsequently expanded to work on pipes of different diameters.
