Description

This is an easy to use tracked robot intended for inspecting pipes or areas with low clearance heights. It is watertight in case you run into any unexpected water. It includes a pan and tilt camera with 30X optical zoom. The robot comes programmed, fully assembled, and ready to run right out of the box.

The robot itself is extremely rugged and well-built. The tracks are molded without (no splice), are axle mounted, and direct driven by powerful right angle 42mm gear motors. The chassis is made of aluminum, which is all cut using our CNC Plasma table for an exact fit-up and then hand welded.

A 250 ft tether and spool come included with the robot. The robot is controlled with the included tablet as the controller with video display.

The robot has a custom PTZ camera mounted on the lid with 360 degrees of pan and tilt ranging from -10 to +90 degrees. The camera has a 30X optical zoom. Remote controlled LED lights are also included on the camera tilt housing to illuminate whatever the camera is looking at. All the camera functions are controlled from the tablet wirelessly as you stream the video. The video feed can be recorded on the tablet and still pictures can be taken for reviewing.

This robot also has a custom 6-axis arm on it which is being used to remove radioactive material on-site.

Other Options

• Encoder Option: This option allows you to keep track of the distance the robot has traveled and displays the information on the tablet controller. This is great for keeping track of where you are when you see something of note with the inspection camera. The distance is measured by keeping track of the pulses from each motor rotation.
• Custom Paint Option: The standard paint color is SuperDroid Blue. If you would like a different color select the custom color and we will contact you for the paint color code.
