Dismantling Tools
For the dismantling of contaminated and activated components - as far as possible - standard tools are used, such as angle grinders, sabre saws and hydraulic shears or thermal cutting methods such as oxyacetylene cutting and plasma cutting. as far as these dismantling tools are used with remote handling, they require standard grip.ends and manipulator carrier systems such as Babcock Noell has already developed and supplied in many cases. For an example for the dismantling of the Karlsruhe fuel processing plant. However, there are dismantling tasks which cannot be solved with standard tools. For these Babcock Noell develops and constructs special dismantling tools.
