The telemanipulator chosen for maintenance of JET tokamak is Mascot IV, a microprocessor controlled unit based on bilateral position servosystem. It evolved from the analogue version Mascot III developed at ENEA in the 60’s. The main objective of this type of force feed-back servomanipulator is to give the operator, as nearly as possible, the tactile sensation of actually doing the job. Its success in this depends on a number of characteristics: sensitivity, stiffness, time response and low reflected inertia, to give the operator a prompt and precise feedback so that he can react instinctively. Such characteristics are achieved by using low friction AC motors, high resolution R/D converters, fast sampling time and short delays in the signal transmissions. Velocity and acceleration signals are used to reduce viscous forces and variation of inertia. The digital system has permitted a reduction of the cabling required and the introduction of advanced aids for the operator: teach-and-repeat, useful for precision welding and prepositioning of the Slave arms, toolweight compensation and constraint of the trajectory on given planes or lines. Viewing is assisted by camera tracking.
