Bespoke Solutions
The Explorer snake-arm robots and associated technology cover most bases. But no application is the same and engineers at OC Robotics are skilled in solving a broad range of problems. Non-snake-arm solutions are also offered by OC Robotics.
Example: Ontario Power Generation's SAFIRE
OC Robotics has successfully delivered several bespoke solutions to its clients in various industries. SAFIRE, the snake-arm robot delivered to Pickering nuclear power station, is a prime example.
Example bespoke
Ontario Power Generation
The problems of accessing the Upper Feeder Cabinet of a CANDU reactor required an innovative adaptation of the snake-arm robots. SAFIRE was first deployed in May 2010.
