THE CHALLENGE

The customer is involved in the nuclear industry providing engineering for the entire power plant. In addition, they furnish equipment for repair and maintenance of the facilities. One of the inspection tools is required to probe inside the reactor coolant tubes. The connection between the motor and sensor must have the ability to turn and flex while verifying the condition of the tube. 


THE SOLUTION
