NuVision Engineering's ARTISANTM telerobotic heavy-duty hydraulic manipulators and control systems are specifically for hazardous environment/material handling applications. They are regularly used for tasks such as:
- Hot cell decommissioning
- Volume reduction of facilities
- Waste retrieval
 The ARTISANTM is a robust, reliable, modular workhorse that can be easily maintained and operated. It has achieved very high levels of availability even in the most demanding of applications, with over 100,000 operating hours of service at 97% reliability in harsh and radioactive environments.
The above image shows the ARTISAN™ using a circular saw end effector to cut open a glove box. Below, a drill end effector is used to clean a hot cell at Sellafield site in the United Kingdom.
