Abstract

At present, the process of washing and unclogging the machines under maintenance of underground equipment or machinery is carried out manually or using mechanical equipment which means the equipment is stopped for a long time and it is then less available. Due to the above, a robot system and method have been developed for automated washing and unclogging procedures for underground machinery. The robotic system for washing and unclogging the machines under maintenance is composed mainly of an anthropomorphous robotic manipulator of at least 5 degrees of freedom (1), provided with a set of tools (2) which allows to wash and remove the material from the machine (3), all of the system is mounted on a structure specially designed for the activity (4). The operator indicates the beginning of the activity as well as the key parameters for the development of the activity. Due to the above, most of the problems associated to the safety of the personnel and the decrease of available times are eliminated. An increase in the useful life of the equipment is obtained
