Abstract—The Checking of performance test for the system of Fresh Subassembly Inspection Facility (FSIF) at elevation 21M in the fuel building of Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) with the inspection of straightness checking of Fresh Sub Assembly (FSA) is being measured using the Optical system. A device for measuring the profile of a Fresh Sub Assembly (FSA) uses three expanded planar laser beams, each of the planar beams relatively disposed at angle of 45° and directed towards the FSA. Respective photocells are arranged to be illuminated by the beams after passing through the deviated body. If the FSA is deviated from its position then the relative movement is effected between the FSA and the laser beams.

1 INTRODUCTION

T

HE Fresh Sub Assembly Inspection Facility (FSIF) is a system used for identification and inspection of fresh SA before loading into the reactor. Each Sub assembly is primarily designed for particular flow zone in the reactor. FSIF consists of a dimensional inspection set up, measuring the straightness of sub assembly from deviation is checked up using Optical system before loading into the reactor. The Dimensional inspection setup consists of a bottom support structure, which holds the foot of the Sub assembly in vertical direction in a sleeve. This support structure rests on the floor on its flanges. Using the optical system with the source of planar laser beam, Inspection is made by checking the straightness of the Fresh Subassembly which is being sensed at the sensing distance of 2.5mm from deviation.

Camera Motor Parameters: 1) Input Voltage: 238v AC, 50Hz Supply, 2) Current drawn: 130 mA.

3 FOOT PROFILE INSPECTION Sub Assembly foot profile Upper zone identification mechanism (X) and Lower zone identification mechanism (Z) is checked by a diametrically opposite two sets of measuring heads on the bottom structure. The absolute values for the foot profile LVDT’S are available in control panel. The foot profile measurement details: X=79.96, Z=54.64.

The Sub Assembly is rested on the bottom structure the limit switch is adjusted to actuate. It is found that seating check up sensing indication available in control panel.

5 EXISTING STRAIGHTNESS CHECKING After the lowering of Sub assembly in to the dimensional setup, a cylindrical gauge is inserted into the head of the sub assembly from the top of the cell manually. A proximity switch located at the bottom of the top sleeve sensed the straightness gauge. Setting of the proximity switch is done by adjusting the sensing the length, when the straightness gauge is inserted into the top sleeve without Sub Assembly. Proximity switch parameters: Supply voltage: 24V DC Sensing distance: 5mm.

Referring to Fig.1 there is shown a laser 1 generating a cylindrical beam Fl which is directed to illuminate a cylindrical lens 2. Lens 2 has a diameter which is slightly larger than that of beam F1 and a cylindrical length substantially equal to the beam diameter. Lens 2 is located at the focus of a thin converging lens 3 having a width substantially equal to the length of cylindrical lens 2. Lens 2 in effect, provides an expanded beam F2 which illuminates lens 3, which in turn effectively converts the beam F2 into a planar parallel beam F3. The width of lens 3 is small with respect to its height such that beam F3 is equivalent to a planar beam.

In Fig.2. there is shown in plain view, three planar laser beam generating means of the type just disclosed, including respective lasers 4,5 and 6 of the continuous emission type, cylindrical lenses 7, 8 and 9 and thin lenses 10, 11 and 12.

5.1 Concept Flow Laser Beam A system utilizing a plurality of laser beams relatively disposed in a vertical plane. A relative motion in a horizontal direction is affected between the beams and the FSA, such that the FSA passes through the beam and effectively masks photoelectric detectors disposed to receive the beams. The photoelectric detectors enable pulse counters during the period they are shut off from the beam by the object. The pulses are generated in accordance with the relative motion of the object and light beam. The measurement by means of one or more vertically disposed planar light beams, obtained from a laser and photoelectric detectors which are vertically movable within the plane of the beam. The optical systems include a cylindrical lens disposed at the focus of a converging thin lens, the cylindrical lens having an axis at right angles with the laser beam. The device includes three vertical planar laser beams intersecting at a vertical segment and cooperating with a single array of detectors. Fig. 2. Diagrammatic view of a profile control device with three planar laser beams.

The distance information of an FSA is based on optical devices of a device operating on the principle of structured light triangulation would require on the one hand a laser imaging system with a beam splitter and on the other hand a further arrangement of four mirrors. The Optoelectronic system has a laser transmitter and also comprises a receiving device for receiving light that has been reflected from the FSA. The laser transmitter and the receiving device are located coaxially, for optically splitting of laser scan sector to obtain multi-perspective imaging of FSA, where the Time of Flight technique is used with modulated beams. Optical splitting comprises an arrangement of optical mirrors whose mirror-surfaces are correspondingly facing each other under a predefined angle.

5.2 Straightness Checking of FSA An Optoelectronic system includes an illumination device which sends light towards the object and a receiving device which receives light reflected from the object. The apparatus includes means for optically splitting the field of view of the Optoelectronic sensor system into a plurality of sectors. Each of these sectors covers at least a partial view of the object under inspection from a unique viewing point. The arrangement of the optical splitting means is selected so that based on the respective field of view.

5.3 Polygonal Mirror Unit A polygonal mirror unit receives laser light and reflects it in a fanshaped form toward a stationary angled mirror unit, which directs the light towards a double-curved stationary mirror unit which reflects the beam onto the FSA. The individual mirrors of the polygonal unit are adjustable.
