A single ROVVER X crawler can now inspect pipes 6-72 inches diameter, thanks
to a new remotely operated camera elevator accessory. This motorized elevator
can position the camera anywhere throughout its 7.1" vertical travel range.
When used in combination with ROVVER X's lift carriage accessory and various
wheel sets, it allows centerline viewing in any pipe up to 48 inches diameter.
"ROVVER X embodies our belief that a single crawler should be able to inspect
the vast majority of pipe sizes, materials and conditions out there," says Richard
Lindner, President of Envirosight. "We call this the 'power of one'. ROVVER X's
detachable lift carriage and 12 wheel options already give it tremendous range.
Now with this new elevator, ROVVER can inspect any pipe 6-72 inches in
diameter."
The elevator plugs directly into the crawler's camera port and secures in
seconds with just two bolts-no clumsy wires or clamps. It is controlled directly
from the ROVVER X pendant. The lift accepts the ROVVER X pan/tilt/zoom
camera or the DigiSewer side-scanning camera, as well as any ROVVER X
auxiliary lamp (including the lamp/rear-view camera combo unit).
The new camera elevator is made of aluminum and stainless steel. It is available
August 1, and is compatible with all ROVVER X systems.
About ROVVER X
ROVVER X is the one pipe inspection system that lets an operator do
everything-control inspections, view and record digital video, log observations,
generate reports, and link directly to asset-management software. All this
capability is packed into a simple three-piece layout, with no CCU or other
components to clutter the workspace.
Though remarkably self-contained, ROVVER X is built on an expandable digital
backbone. Not only can an operator add side-scanning and laser profiling, he
or she can view data from onboard sensors, automate tasks with macros, and
measure defects onscreen. And future capabilities are limitless-ROVVER X's
firmware updates automatically to the latest features, and its architecture is
ready for any accessory-even ones that don't yet exist.
Advanced technology aside, ROVVER X is built for the rigors of sewer
inspection. Twelve wheel options-plus camera lift, carriage and illumination
accessories-mean ROVVER X transforms in seconds to inspect lines six to 60
inches. Its six-wheel drive with proportional steering navigates past obstacles,
and overlapping wheels climb offsets better than tracks. Powerful motors and a
geared drive train maximize range and pivot capability, even with carriage and
10" knobby tires installed.
Ultimately, however, reliability and productivity have made ROVVER the number
one crawler brand worldwide. ROVVER X continues this tradition with
unsurpassed video resolution and 50% more illumination, leaving no detail
hidden. Its powerful reel monitors cable tension optically to prevent slack and
minimize resistance, allowing one-man operation. And self-diagnostic
capabilities, plus access to operating history, only enhance the uptime of the
one crawler that already leads the industry.
