NUCLEAR POWER

Our optical encoders for nuclear applications are used in handling cranes operating in irradiated and non-irradiated areas, where positioning accuracy and reliability are critical requirements for operational safety. They provide precise, stable and continuous angular position measurement, essential for lifting, transfer and positioning operations involving sensitive loads such as fuel elements or critical equipment. Thanks to their high resolution and excellent repeatability, they help minimise the risk of error and ensure safe handling. Designed to operate in constrained environments, our sensors offer high robustness and service continuity, even under severe conditions. They therefore directly contribute to the safety, reliability and performance of nuclear installations by ensuring precise control of critical movements.

Codechamp offers a range of radiation-hardened and non-radiation-hardened optical encoders, specifically designed to meet the constraints of nuclear installations. The radiation-hardened versions are developed to operate reliably in irradiated environments, withstanding the effects of radiation while maintaining a high level of accuracy, stability and long-term performance. They are suited to the most demanding areas, where service continuity is essential. The non-radiation-hardened versions provide a high-performance and optimised solution for non-irradiated zones, while ensuring excellent measurement accuracy. The entire range is characterised by high mechanical robustness, extended service life and consistent precision. Our sensors therefore meet the stringent requirements of critical nuclear handling systems, contributing to the safety and reliability of installations.
