Proteus™ ExZ1 is an innovative explosion-proof pipe crawler engineered for unparalleled safety and precision in hazardous locations. This ATEX Zone 1 certified system ensures intrinsically safe operation and provides comprehensive inspection capabilities for industries operating in explosive atmospheres, including chemical plants, power generation facilities, and waste management.

The Proteus™ ExZ1 is engineered to meet the highest safety standards, holding an ATEX Zone 1 certification that guarantees its suitability for use in hazardous locations. Its intrinsically safe design is a core feature, preventing any potential for sparks or heat generation that could lead to an explosion. This robust robotic system is highly portable and designed for seamless integration into diverse field operations. It features a powerful robotic tractor capable of inspecting pipes from 6 to 24 inches in diameter, with an optional expansion to 40 inches. The integrated motorized elevator ensures precise camera positioning for optimal viewing and accurate defect identification.

The intuitive control unit of the Proteus™ ExZ1 offers superior operational control through twin ergonomic joysticks and a soft-touch keypad. The system features a 10-inch XGA sunlight-readable display, providing crystal-clear imaging even in challenging outdoor conditions. Integrated ProPIPE+ and WinCan software streamline the inspection process, enabling immediate image and video capture, advanced report generation, and seamless data management via WiFi or USB. A vital safety feature is the built-in override key switch, which immediately cuts power upon detection of any ATEX non-compliances, ensuring maximum operational safety.

To further enhance its versatility, the Proteus™ ExZ1 is compatible with interchangeable explosion-proof camera heads, offering optical and digital zoom capabilities, continuous 360° rotation, and +/-135° pan. These nitrogen-pressurized camera heads are ATEX Zone 1 certified and waterproof up to 1 bar, ensuring reliable performance in extreme environments and providing precise measurements of pipe diameters, defects, and objects.
