Tripod

The TriPod is a remote operated vehicle, used to translate instruments, cameras, or inspection devices along ferrous metal surfaces. Using three rare-earth magnets the crawler can climb vertical, horizontal, and inverted surfaces. The three wheeled computerized drive system allows the Tripod to rotate 360° on its own axis.

TriPod's key features are:

Unique Linkage System: The TriPod’s magnetic drive wheels automatically remain perpendicular to the pipe or tank surface when driving in both the longitudinal and circumferential directions. Control system: Onboard intelligence provides functionality, flexibility, and expandability. All components are industrially hardened for the best in vibration, shock, and temperature resistance. Molded umbilical: The TriPod has a rugged umbilical with power, communication, 4 coax conductors and a water line molded into a durable polyurethane jacket. Real-time encoder feedback (optional): A sealed optical encoder is mounted on the steering wheel providing accurate straight line positioning information.
