Wheeled inspection robot BIKE

magneticfor pipes

The BIKE platform is a magnetic wheeled robot capable of inspecting power plant facilities and multiple applications in the oil and gas industry, such as vessel or pipe inspection. BIKE can reach locations previously inaccessible to humans due to size constraints, temperature, immersion in liquids or safety reasons. It makes your inspections safer and more efficient. High mobility Ability to climb vertical walls, inside and outside pipe structures and pass over complex combinations of convex and concave step obstacles. Lightweight & Compact With a total weight of less than 10 kg it can be deployed through a 12” (300mm) man-way. Operation on outside pipe starts at 15″ pipes (400mm). Modular & Versatile Can be equipped with inspection technology such as pan-tilt cameras or NDT sensors, allowing the operator to use the equipment he already has. Modules The BIKE platform is an advanced robotic inspection & maintenance platform for hard-to-reach areas. Depending on the task it can be equipped with different modules to perform an inspection from a safe & remote location. UT Module Remote Ultrasonic Thickness gauge Dual crystal probe for accurate thickness measurement, actuated remotely by couplant pressure TZ1 HD Advanced Inspection Camera The Full HD Inspection camera comes with tilt and 10x optical zoom. It can be mounted in several positions and is fully integrated in the Control Software 3D LOC Localization and Mapping of inspection data Full 3D spatial awareness of the robot in the asset and a 3D interactive robot control.
