Abstract
The Calorimeter of the Mu2e experiment is a complicated detector made of crystal scintillators with dedicated read-out electronics per crystals. The compactness of the Front-End Units matrix, the complexity of the necessary services, and the limited space available after detector installation in the experimental hall make access, manipulation and maintenance of the Front-End Units very hard. This paper reports on the conceptual mechanical design of a robotic arm composed of a gantry structure for xyz positioning on the desired Front-End Unit and equipped with custom-designed grippers to perform the necessary maintenance operations. This includes the optimization of the Front-End Units cables routing.
