The CRAB ROBOT is a modular crawler designed for navigation of pipings between diameters of 50mm to 1,000mm. It’s unique state-of-the-art design allows the robot to navigate tight bends (as small as 0.8x D) and vertically in pipes.
The drive unit consists of 6 spring loaded motor drive arms. These powerful motors, combined with planetary transmission, 32 radial ball bearings and 12 rubber coated wheels enables the CRAB ROBOT to achieve maximum traction inside the piping and perform the inspection with ease. The spring loaded drive arms also ensures that the robot is precisely in the center of the pipe, and enables the robot to adapt to uneven surfaces and even navigate past cross sections.
Camera head options such as foward view, pan-tilt or pan-tilt-zoom cameras are also available for the CRAB ROBOT, and produces sharp, crisp images with the CCD imager integrated in the camera module.
The CRAB ROBOT is highly customizable with the possibility to mix and match between various robot chassis and cameras to obtain the ideal configuration for any kind of pipe inspections. The cable length is also extendable and is able to achieve extended travelling distance with additional robot chassis.
