SAMbuCa: From Redesign to LS3 Deployment BE-CEM is developing the high-performance field Sensors Acquisition and Motion Control system (SAMbuCa), with the purpose of consolidating the sensor, actuator and driving electronics requirements of the different motion control systems at CERN. The system, which is set to be deployed during LS3, will be used for the LHC…

Toward the end of last year, the robotics team received a request to inspect hot areas in TCC2 and test for potential beryllium contamination. The team collaborated with various groups to define a detection procedure using dry wipes, and designed, built, and tested a new tool for the CERN robot CRANEbot to carry out the…

In 2025, the CERN EPR Radiation Test Service reached an all-time high level of performance, setting new records across all major operational metrics. This significant increase in capacity is a key enabler for the qualification of the final LS3 production batches planned for 2026 and will play a crucial role in validating the radiation tolerance…
