Robotics Laboratory (B-129)

Description
:
This space is used mainly for the Advanced Accelerator Applications (AAA) Materials Performance Laboratory and the Robotics Laboratory. Two gantry type robots with 1 ton and 2 ton capacity are located in the rear section of the room. These two gantry robots need controller reconfiguration and can be used as programmable positioning devices for various laboratory experiments. Also, a space is reserved in B-129 for the future installation of lead-bismuth-eutectic (LBE) loop for the AAA program.
